The Wonders of Spain - Andalucía

Spain - a popular destination
for many travellers - is fascinating due to the incredible diversity of
what the country has to offer.
It's not just about golden
beaches on the Costa del Sol, cheap booze and cigarettes… and visiting
the many English-owned pubs!
 While
the coastal areas are great - with many attractions for young and old,
just a few miles inland from any coast you will find sheer beauty - magnificent
landscapes - beautiful traditional villages (relatively unchanged in 100's
of years) and a taste of the "Real Spain" to quote the commonly-used cliché!
 If
you are planning on a visit to the Costa del Sol, think carefully about
where you would like to stay. I would thoroughly recommend not just
booking one hotel or apartment for your holiday, but 2 or 3.
Maybe start off on the coast,
and work on your sun tan, then move to one of the fascinating inland destinations
- for instance Ojén
.. a beautiful white village on the side of a hill - gorgeous views, friendly
residents, and only a mere 7 kms drive from Marbella.
Make a definite plan to stay
in Ronda - a hilltop city of enormous
historic wealth. Ronda requires, I think, a minimum of a 3 day stay
to ensure you visit all the many, many attractions in this fascinating
city. Roman and Moorish ruins, incredibly beautiful views, and the
famous gorge and bridge add up to a interesting visit. If you are
a photographer, like me, you will think you have died and gone to heaven…!
Another interesting option
is the many Paradores of Spain in the Andalucía region. While
they can be a tad pricey for the average tourist, why not spoil yourself,
even for just one night - and sleep in a renovated castle, palace or monastery
in sheer luxury. View the full range of Paradores
of Spain.
