In our last article we covered Seville in the region of Andalucia. This time we will write about Granada, Malaga and Jaen in the same region.
Andalucia, in the south of Spain since history has had the influence of several cultures and to this day remains the land of celebrations, music, flamenco, food, bullfighting and some of the best monuments on the planet the Alhambra being one of the greatest.
The region has many monuments dating back to the times when the region was ruled by the Moors and the celebratory environment is associated with the Gypsies who came here with their music and dance centuries ago. Even though the famous band The Gipsy Kings came from Arles and Montpellier in France they mainly performed in Andalusian Spanish since their parents were Spanish gypsies.
Malaga has some of the best beaches in the world, citadels from the Moorish times and one of the best cathedrals you will see. The city is a great combination of the ancient and the modern. With a happy atmosphere all around, you will see people of most origins and of course the tourists. The city is bright and beautiful and has sunshine most of the year and attracts its share of foreign students.
Jaen is about unspoilt natural beauty, fortresses and the cathedral. The city is also known as the capital of the world for its olive production.
Granada is the city of Alhambra which is a stupendous monument that attracts more than 2 million tourists each year, hidden gardens and friendly people.
