Andalucia is an  autonomous community at the southern coast of Spain and with its varied landscapes, its mild climate and the friendly character of its people one of the most intriguing regions of Spain. 

The countryside offers charming views of golden beaches,   beautiful mountain ranges,  snow-white  villages and 200 millions olive trees! Andalucian villages  are whitewashed  twice the year - it is just their „trademark"!

Flamenco
Spain Sierra Nevada
 It is a land of great traditions, where you will experience the magic of Flamenco and bullfighting in  their most authentic style, and myths like Don Juan and Carmen were born here. It is also a land with an exceptional history.

When in 711 the Moors  (Berber tribes form North Africa)  arrived in Spain and conquered the     Iberian Peninsula, the land became a part of the caliph of Damascus which was the capital of the Muslim world. Consequently the land adapted to a new religion, language and culture, which shaped it differently than the rest of Europe. Many historic monuments, in particular at Sevilla, Corduba and Grananda bear witness of the Moorish past and still today the Arab style has an influence on the architecture in this region.

Just join my trip to the Mediterranean coast, to Torremolinos - near Gibraltar, Sevilla, Cordoba,  Granada.... 

wistfulness - love - passion. You truly haven't been to Andalucia, if you missed a performance of the flamenco.

Right behind the broad sandy beaches of Torremolinos erase the mountains of the Sierra Nevada against the background of the deep blue sky...
