Andalusia - the child of many cultures

It is hard to find a more interesting corner of Spain, more saturated with contrasts and influences of different cultures than Andalusia. The very name of the place sounds captivating - the Arabs named it just like that, Al-Andaluz. Stretching through almost half of the southern part of the country, neighboring with Portugal, it has been a tasty morsel for centuries, for everyone: Romans, Arabs, today ... tourists. Andalusia is not so much attractive, it is even hypnotizing. A journey in Andalusia will include the mighty mountain peaks of the Pyrenees, orange groves, fiery flamenco, sandy beaches of the Costa del Sol, and, of course, unique architecture. Although many tourists prefer to focus on the art of relaxing on the beach, it is worth getting off your deckchair for a moment and going deep into this amazing province to discover the heritage of ancient, Arab and Christian culture on your own. Each of them had Andalusia under its rule, and each left its mark in the form of world-class monuments that we can see today in all their splendor ...
