History, beaches, fantasic scenery, Straight of
Gibraltar. The Andalucia region of Spain is incredibly interesting
and diverse. Southern Spain is home to not only beautiful scenery and
beaches, but also to a fascinating history and interesting local culture.
Islam’s presence lasted much longer here than anywhere else in Spain,
and is clearly evident in the architecture and local culture. The home
of Flamenco and the birthplace of the guitar, Andalucia boasts a captivating
artistic tradition as well as some of Spain’s most lively nightlife!
Our adventure includes visits to the Costa de la Luz, a gorgeous stretch
of beach on the Atlantic coast which is much less developed than the nearby
Costa del Sol; The Straight of Gibraltar, where Europe and Africa are
a mere 15 km apart; and Ronda, famous for its incredible gorge and surrounding
scenery. Visit a bullfight in Seville, windsurf in Tarifa, or visit the
museums of Cadiz.

We enjoy a bus ride to the White Hills and the town of Ronda, famous for
its 100m deep gorge that splits the town into two. Explore and relax,

a jumping-off point to Gibraltar, the curious and beautiful British colony.

castle. We include a day trip to Northern Africa on Day 5.
