WELCOME IN ANDALUSIA
- LAND OF VARIETY AND SURPRISES!!!
A breathtaking nature,
a culture with a rich tumultuous
historical past and a mixture of
art,
architecture and savoir
vivre.
Nature
Wonderful beaches along several Costas, on the Mediterranean Sea as well
as on the Atlantic Ocean, and impressive mountain peaks from the Sierra
Nevada invite you to enjoy nature and defy the adventurous sportsmen.
Here are a few examples of the many available activities: trekking in
natural parks (this region is the last stopping ground for the migrating
birds before taking off to Africa) watching whales and dolphins,
rafting, ski, surf and kite-surf in Tarifa, horse riding, mountain
biking, flying safari, bicycle circuits (the Washington Irving route),
and of course golf.
Culture
You walk through history in the three royal cities: Grenada, Seville et
Cordoba. The influence of the Arab conquest on a country that returned
to Catholicism during the Reconquista is evident and makes of every spot
in Andalusia a special place. 'White villages' like Ronda and Arcos, are
typical of this region. You will also discover roman ruins and
aqueducts. Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous sons of Andalusia. 'Don
Quichotte' from Cervantes also wandered along the roads of this
wonderful country.
Savoir vivre
Fiestas (parties), ferias (fairs) and flamenco…, offer a very special atmosphere, where
you will feel the influence of the Spanish duende (a kind of deep
emotion). Watch corridas, which seem rather barbaric, and admire a
refined example of world renowned horse training at the Spanish Riding
School. To eat and to drink the Spanish way invites to live in a perfect
holiday ambiance: go to a small bar and taste the local 'tapas del
día' with a glass of 'fino' (sherry from Jerez). Don’t forget to
taste the gazpacho, a cold tomato soup, and the delicious but expensive
jamón Serrano 'Pata Negra'.
The village Benalup-Casas Viejas (=old houses) is located in the
middle of nowhere. Its localisation turns it into an excellent point of
departure for the discovery of Andalusia. Tarifa is at a distance of 35
km and is a prime choice for the surfers. You will also visit the cities
of Jerez de la Frontera, known for its bodegas, as well as Cadiz. The
expansion of the highway net, the new connection Malaga/Seville and the
huge improvement of the road conditions allow you to travel comfortably
and fast.
After a day rich in culture, nature and/or adventure , it is very
agreeable to return to your holiday residence in a private domain with
your own private garden and swimming pool. Relax surrounded by
tranquillity, overlooking a superb view from your terrace, a glass in
your hand, what more could you wish?
