Córdoba is known for the Mezquita-Catedral and a historic centre shaped by Roman, Islamic and Christian influences. Its whitewashed patios, narrow lanes and warm Andalusian rhythm give the city a deeply atmospheric character.
Granada is known for the Alhambra and its striking mix of Moorish and Catholic heritage. The Albaicín, tapas bars and student life give the city a lively but historic feel.
Seville is the capital of Andalusia, known for flamenco, Moorish architecture and orange-lined streets. Around the cathedral and the Real Alcázar, it feels both grand and intensely local, with lively plazas and a warm, late-night rhythm.
Nerja is a whitewashed Andalusian town on the Costa del Sol, known for the Balcón de Europa, sheltered beaches and Cuevas de Nerja. It has a relaxed feel, with old streets, sea views and a town centre shaped more by local life than high-rise development.
Marbella is known for beaches, luxury marinas and an attractive old town on the Costa del Sol. Whitewashed streets around Plaza de los Naranjos give it an Andalusian feel beyond the polished seafront.
