Andalucian Adventure

Firstly I stayed in Malaga, and although ultimately a city break destination it had a lot to offer – history and culture as well as shopping and high standard hotels with great facilities. Here I did a tour of the city and saw the bull ring.

From here I visited Fuengirola for the evening which was a lovely resort and totally not what I expected. There was a quaint main square surrounded with small restaurants all offering typical Spanish fare. There was lots of entertainment including Flamenco dancing which was fantastic to watch. Everyone was friendly and although I didn’t get to see the resort during the day I definitely got the feeling this would be a nice place for a holiday.

I then visited Granada which was amazing. The village had a wonderful atmosphere, very traditional with a lovely town with plenty of shopping on offer. The small tavernas and restaurants were so welcoming and the food was so varied and full of flavour.

I visited the Alhambra Palace which was very busy but well worth a visit. The grounds were beautiful and to be able to walk through the different rooms and admire the architecture was an honour. The guide who took us round told us many stories which were fascinating.

There is a new science museum just opened in Granada which we also had a look round, this is a great place to bring the children as there was lots of interactive pieces that they would enjoy.

I only saw a small portion of the area, but there truly is so much to see and do in Andalucía its well worth a visit.
