Andalusia

Moorish Palaces & Flamenco Soul

Andalusia is where Spain is most itself—flamenco was born here, sherry was perfected here, and the Moors left behind the Alhambra, one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed. Seville's orange-blossom plazas, Córdoba's Mezquita, and the white hill towns of Ronda and Arcos compose a region that overwhelms every sense.
