Ronda
Ronda is one of Andalucia's loveliest
towns. It stands on a rocky promontory linked by the spectacular Puente
Nuevo. Famous attractions such as the Bull Ring and the recently
built Parador and the lovely Mercadillo are worth a visit. Drive time is
approximately 1 hour.

Granada
No visit to Andalucia is complete
without a visit to the Alhambra. Granada was the last Muslim City to
fall to Isabel and Ferdinand in 1492. Their legacy is the amazing
Alhambra, a series of wonderful palaces and gardens. Other
attractions include the old Moorish Casbah, the Cathedral (where Ferdinand
and Isobel are buried) and the Sacromonte hill cave dwellings. Drive
time is approximately 2 hours. |

Malaga
Malaga is the birth place for Pablo Picasso
and in Plaza Merced is a public archive of his life and works. It
differs from the other Costa Del Sol towns and cities in that it is relatively
untouched by tourism and therefore provides a more "real" Spanish
experience. The Alcazaba (fortress) dates back to 1065 and contains an
interesting archeological museum. Other places to visit include the
Cathedral and the adjacent museum of fine arts, the Alameda gardens and just
outside the town are the Jardines De La Concepcion. Drive time is approximately 30
mins.

Seville
Seville is credited with the invention of
tapas and no visit to the city should be concluded without sampling the delight
of one or more of the thousand or so bars in the city. Some of the main
attractions of Seville are the Cathedral, with the La Giralda Tower, the Alcázar
palace,
the Five Arts Museum, the Triana Bridge and the Sant Cruz quarter. Drive
time is approximately 2 hours.

El Chorro Gorge
El Chorro Gorge and Dam are well worth a
visit. The spectacular views across the Guadalhorce Valley and down to the
coast are well worth the drive. Drive time is approximately 20 mins.

The Pink Lagoon (Fuente de Piedra)
The pink lagoon is one of the largest natural
lagoons in Spain and is one of only two breeding grounds in Europe for Pink
Flamingoes. The sight of these exotic birds in the wild is something to be
seen. You could combine a visit to the Pink Lagoon and Antequera or
El Torcal Nature Reserve.
