In Andalucia, time moves slower, but life is lived fuller.

Federico García Lorca
With an average of 320 sunny days a year, Andalusia is doused in resplendent light no matter when you choose to visit. Under this bright Mediterranean sun, gorgeous buildings reflect the region's rich heritage, as Moorish elements uniquely blend with Christian details. Cities like Seville and Malaga embrace a slow pace of life and boast a rich history that goes back centuries. Beyond the cities, the famed pueblos blancos - or white villages - are incredibly picturesque, and planning a trip to discover them is a quest for all the senses.
Speaking of satisfying the senses, Andalusia is renowned for its delectable regional cuisine. Carrying influences from all the people who inhabited this area throughout the centuries, Andalusian cuisine features local ingredients, top-quality extra virgin olive oil, and fresh seafood in recipes passed down from one generation to the next. Besides food, another distinct part of Andalusia's culture is its vast flamenco tradition. Andalusia is the birthplace of flamenco, an unparalleled musical genre known for the passionate dance that accompanies it. This passion defines the region itself and seduces any visitor eager to uncover Andalusia's many secrets.
