HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
The cultural sights of Seville, Granada & Cordoba > Delicious food & wine - Andalucia is the home of tapas, and of sherry > Probably Europe’s best climate - long hot summers and mild winters

Majestic scenery, a rich cultural heritage and Europe’s finest climate make Andalucia prime short break country. This stunning and varied region has everything, from the celebrated Moorish legacy of Granada, Seville and Cordoba to the tiny unspoiled villages and whitewashed towns of the interior - the famous pueblos blancos – and the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada.

Andalucia’s beautiful landscapes include more than 500 miles of coastline, much of it still unspoilt, the renowned wetlands of the Doñana National Park, and the only desert on the European continent.

Relax among the ancient olive groves and blossoming almond orchards of the rural heartland, where undulating hills and tiny terraced farms make up the panorama, or explore the many historic towns such as Ubeda and Ronda, as well as the famous attractions of Seville, Cordoba and Granada.

The winelands of Jerez and delicious local cuisine complete the picture of what must be the most enticing region of the Iberian Peninsula.

Original Travel has selected several of the finest hotels in Andalucia for you to choose from:

Hacienda San Rafael is a family owned and run former olive farm located in the beautiful Andalucian countryside between Seville and Jerez. The hacienda has the relaxed atmosphere of a private country house. Various activities are available nearby, or you can just relax by the pool.

In the historic town of Carmona, about half an hour from Seville, is Casa Carmona - an elegant hotel of 32 rooms, converted from a 16th century mansion. Carmona is a charming town full of historic buildings, narrow winding alleys and tapas bars. Casa Carmona makes a luxury weekend break destination.

Alternatively, up in the Sierra Morena mountains lies Trasierra - a relaxing rural retreat surrounded by thousands of acres of olive and orange trees. Good food, swimming, tennis and country walks are the order of the day here.

Hacienda Benazuza is an immaculate five-star property set on a hilltop just outside Seville. With beautiful landscaped gardens, a wide range of facilities and a Michelin-starred restaurant,

Further south, and near the kite-surfing mecca of Tarifa, nestles El Aguilon, a very stylish private hotel with just six rooms. The hotel has five gorgeous Andalucian horses, a tennis court (with spare rackets), two beautiful swimming pools and the hotel can also organise riding, mountain-biking, quad-biking expeditions, fishing, massage, yoga, reflexology & reiki, day trips to Tangiers and whale watching.
