The land unites everything what one can only
wish as a traveller: marvellous nature, culinary specialities and
genuine culture. Because of the extensive beaches a lot of tourists,
are coming here every year. However, this part of Spain offers
far more then that.
was stamped by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians,
the Romans and the Moors, whom left their tracks everywhere.
Andalusia exists of eight provinces: Almeria, Málaga, Granada,
Jaén, Córdoba, Seville, Huelva and Cádiz.
Framed by the Costa del Sol (Mediterranean Sea) and the Costa de
la Luz (Atlantic) there are many possibilities to explore the surroundings
and to get to know the land.
There’s a lot to discover, by the visits of old buildings,
museums and flamenco evenings. There are destinations enough, from
the coast, the white villages in the inland, up to the bigger towns
of Seville and Córdoba.
Take your time to investigate everything, because hectic is here
a foreign word.
The beaches on this coast are from a unique beauty. They apply
with some interruptions of the border of Portugal in the north
up to the headland of Tarifa in the south.
Except during the midsummer, the beaches are mostly desolately
and during long walks one meets only seldom other travellers. The
heat of Andalusia is reduced by a steady wind, so the summer is
to be endured rather well, on the coast.
The scenery, with his partly rough climate, has his quite own charm.
The possibilities for the holiday creation are almost limitless.
The palette reaches from sport and fun, rest, up to cultural investigation
of the history of this land.

lies at about 8 km from the coast, near the humid area of the
Bahia de Cádiz. Here are still many salt works and pisciculture
ponds. The Bodegas in the centre, in which one can taste the local
sherry and brandy, are interesting. There is also a small covered
market with fresh food, from which, the fish offer especially,
stands out.

is a modern holiday place originated, on the occasion of the world

is known by Christopher Columbus who lived here from 1483 - 1486,
and organised his 2 America expeditions.
The place has a big yacht harbour, a casino, and is for numerous
Spaniards a preferential holiday destination during the summer.
The most significant Bodega is the Osborne one, known also by the
bull which is almost a national symbol.
A matter of taste is the bullfight, in one of the biggest arenas
of Spain. A visit to one of the many, high class restaurants which
are to be found mainly in ancient Palacios, is recommendable.

This place is an original fishing village and has changed in a
pleasant way to a holiday destination. Conil is the only white
village which lies directly by the sea.
During the day it's very quiet in the centre, whereby the more
lively evenings it's worth to take a stroll by the bars, shops
and restaurants of this cosy town. Most bars look rather insignificant
from the outside; however, inside one mostly finds a big patio
in which one can celebrate under the free sky. Then on the wide,
long sandy beach one can relax during the day and collect new forces.

The capital of the province was founded by the Phoenicians and
counts as the oldest town of Europe. It was a significant commercial
place during the past centuries and was fought a lot. The Old Town
with the narrow lanes and small shops is really worth seeing, also
the visit of many famous buildings, museums and the little gardens
all around the town. The harbour is an anchorage of many cruise
ships and sailing ships.

The town is known by the century-long tradition of the production
of sherry and brandy. Also the Andalusian Carthusian horses are
to be admired here. In the royal horse-riding academy you see the
art of the dressage. The visit of one of the many Bodegas is very
interesting, which has to be followed by a visit in a Venta (a
small typical restaurant) where one can enjoy some Tapa (a choice
from small local dishes).
In the evening one relaxes during a cosy flamenco night with dance
and song.
