Travelling in Andalucia Spain
Spain is a large country with different styles and cultures. Let us look at the Costa de la Luz region of western Spain. This area covers from the dark mountains of the Sierra Morena in the north to the mighty snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada in the South. This is the land of flamenco and bullfights, of Moorish inheritance and of the proverbial long fine beaches.
You can explore Seville’s impressive cathedrals and the Moorish fortress of Alcazar, visit the Grand Mosque of ancient Cordoba, and enjoy an Arabian Nights setting within the walls of Granada’s Alhambra, the famous Moorish palace. Andalusia’s coast, the Costa del Sol, boasts 320 days of sun a year, its beaches offering plenty opportunities for obtaining a tan and engaging in a great number of water sports.
From these contemporary pastimes it is only a stone’s throw to places like Ronda, the former smugglers redoubt build on a sheer cliff, or the brilliant white mountain villages where time stands still and the fields are still worked by oxen.
One of the most important features in Andalucia is the Donana natural park situated between Heulva and Sanlucar de Barrameda. Two cycle paths are being created through the park, the work should be completed within the next 12 months. The junta de Andalucia has stated these cycle tracks will help meet the growing demand for cycling in this natural park.
The town of Medina Sidonia is less than 1 hours drive from the natural park, so is definitely worth a visit whilst travelling. Why not stay in Medina and make that your base from where you can visit so many attractions located in that area of Andalucia.
