Sevilla is a must-see in Andalusia, with a vibrant atmosphere and rich culture. While you’re there, don’t miss: Royal Alcázar of Sevilla – Stunning palace and gardens Sevilla Cathedral – The largest Gothic cathedral in the world Plaza de España – An iconic and picturesque spot that Star Wars fans might recognize. You’re also perfectly positioned to explore nearby cities like Córdoba (home to the famous Mezquita), Jerez, Cádiz, or Carmona.

Málaga is part of the stunning Costa del Sol and offers plenty of sights to explore. If you’re staying in the city, we recommend Parador Málaga Gibralfaro, a gorgeous spot with incredible views. While in Málaga, make sure to visit: Teatro Romano – A well-preserved Roman theater Málaga Cathedral – Known as "La Manquita" Plaza de Toros – The city’s famous bullring For more adventure, you can also visit nearby cities like Granada (home of the Alhambra) or Marbella for a mix of history and beaches.
Jerez de la Frontera
Landing in Jerez means you’re in the heart of sherry country! It’s the perfect place to indulge in some amazing wine tours and taste the best sherry in the world. Jerez is also close to Sevilla, Córdoba, and Cádiz for easy day trips.
Pueblo Blancos
While you’re in the region, we highly recommend visiting some of Andalusia’s classic white pueblos, known for their charming whitewashed buildings and stunning hilltop views. These picturesque towns, like Grazalema, Arcos de la Frontera, Medina Sedonia, and Zahara de la Sierra, offer a true taste of traditional Andalusian life and are perfect for a scenic day trip. They’re full of history, cobblestone streets, and postcard-worthy views—don’t miss the chance to explore one (or a few) while you’re here!
Travel Notes
Flamenco Andalusia is the birthplace of Flamenco, so while you're here, try to catch a live Flamenco show. Cities like Seville, Granada, and Málaga have plenty of show options, and it’s a wonderful way to experience the region’s soul and culture. Food & Drink Andalusia is a food lover’s paradise! Be sure to try some local dishes while you explore: Paella (mixta or seafood) Cazón en Adobo Pescado Frito Gazpacho or Salmorejo Gambas al Ajillo Local cheeses (Payoyo is our favorite) When it comes to drinks, Andalusia doesn’t disappoint! Here are our recommendations: Tinto de Verano (the local version of Sangria) Local wines Sherry (try the sweet varieties!) Vermouth Cruzcampo (Andalusia’s famous beer brand)
