Moorish Architecture and Untethered Nature
Nothing short of fairytale, those are the cities of Andalusia. In the Moorish district of Granada you will feel outside Europe. The famous Alhambra palace towers over it with its lush gardens. Get lost in the narrow lanes of Seville and Cordoba and end up in unexpected squares with cosy taverns and flowering orange trees. Here you can experience the real flamenco! Unparalleled Moorish architecture can be found in cordoba's Mezquita, a remarkable mix of cathedral and mosque. In Seville is the beautifully decorated cathedral with its distinctive Giralda minaret of unparalleled beauty.
Untethered nature can be found in the mountains of the Alpujarras where you can take beautiful walks on ancient paths along the pueblos blancos, the characteristic white villages in this beautiful part of Spain where life seems to have stood still for decades. The Sierra Nevada has impressive peaks, while Grazalema National Park consists of a rugged area of valleys, rocks and ravines. Special is the Coto Doñana National Park where the rare Iberian lynx has its habitat. Spot besides many migratory birds such as storks, herons and spoonbills also wild boar and deer.
