About Andalucia
Direct flights to Andalucia take just under three hours from London with our airline, while a northern take-off spot like Glasgow tacks on an extra 15 minutes. When you touch down, you’ll find yourself in a Spanish chocolate box – there’s everything from bustling flamenco-fuelled festivals to near-deserted, footprint-free beaches in these parts. Taking up most of Spain’s southern shoreline, Andalucia covers some of the country’s best-loved Costas. Head for the Costa de Almeria if an off-the-beaten track getaway’s on your agenda – places like Mojacar, Vera and Almerimar are the ideal candidates. These secluded towns deal in boutique shops, old-school tapas bars and dainty squares. Opt for Costa de la Luz, and your holiday’s set to be full to the brim with scenery so picturesque your camera will be permanently on call. There’s no holding back if you travel to the famous Costa del Sol, on the other hand. You’ve got upmarket Marbella and Puerto Banus taking the lead on glamour, while the theme park-adjacent twins of Benalmadena and Torremolinos take care of lively days and nights. City-wise, Andalucia’s got some superstars to its name, including time-stamped Cadiz and buzzing Seville – both have first-class credentials when it comes to history. There’s an art and culture injection, too, thanks to Malaga – Picasso’s birthplace – and Granada, which is home to a 9th-century palace.
