Andalusia, a land of contrasts and intertwined cultures, offers an unforgettable journey through its iconic cities: Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, Seville, and Ronda. Between sea and mountains, Moorish palaces and flowered patios, each stop reveals a piece of history and architectural splendor. Here’s a visual and immersive itinerary through this captivating Spanish region.
Málaga: Between the Sea and Andalusian Heritage
Birthplace of Picasso, Málaga enchants visitors with its balance of modern energy and tradition. Stroll along the redeveloped port, explore the Alcazaba, and climb to the Gibralfaro Castle for a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay. Don’t miss Málaga’s majestic cathedral, nicknamed “La Manquita” (the one-armed lady) due to its unfinished tower—a true gem of Spanish Renaissance architecture.
Granada: The Alhambra, Moorish Masterpiece
Granada is a city where the Arab past echoes in every alley. The unmissable Alhambra, with its intricately carved palaces and lush gardens, stands as a testament to Nasrid architectural refinement. Below, the Albaicín district, with its white houses and cobbled streets, offers unmatched views of the Alhambra at sunset.
Córdoba: The Mosque-Cathedral, a Unique Masterpiece
Córdoba reveals an exceptional heritage, starting with its Mosque-Cathedral—a harmonious fusion of Islamic and Christian art. Its endless red-and-white arches transport visitors to another time. Then wander through the flower-filled lanes of the Judería (Jewish Quarter), and cross the Roman bridge to reach the Calahorra Tower for another perspective of the city.
Seville: Andalusian Grandeur and Vibrancy
Seville embodies Andalusian grandeur with the Alcázar, its palace infused with Moorish influences and enchanting gardens. The Plaza de España, with its colorful tiles and majestic galleries, invites contemplation. Get lost in the Santa Cruz district, among flowered patios and shaded squares, then experience the intensity of an authentic flamenco performance.
Ronda: Between Sky and Earth
Perched on a rocky plateau, Ronda impresses with its Puente Nuevo bridge suspended above the Tajo gorge. This picturesque town offers a timeless escape through its historic bullring, whitewashed houses, and breathtaking panoramas over the Andalusian countryside.
