Here lies the capital of Andalusia, Sevilla. This is the birthplace of great artists including, Velázquez and Murillo. The proud city of Sevilla boasts of its long cultural history, which gave them marvels like La Giralda, a great Moorish tower, incorporated into the world’s largest gothic cathedral. This city can also brag about its amazing nightlife, where a late night dinner is followed by a night of dancing ending in breakfast on a rooftop terrace. The Sevillanos are serious about their partying! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/5a6fd60fe4966b5767cec15c/1517279166705/Costa-de-la-luz-beach.jpg Welcome - Beginning in the western most part of the region Beginning in the western most part of the region is the Costa de la Luz, or Coast of light, so called for its amazing sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. It is from here that Columbus often sailed to the new world, bringing back food staples like tomatoes and potatoes. These same ports also abound with fresh daily seafood, an integral part of the cuisine. The beaches along the coast are expansive with white sand and from the southernmost point of the European continent, Tarifa, Morocco can be seen clearly across the mere 14 kilometers of the Strait of Gibraltar. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/5a6fd90671c10b4ab4a8aa24/1517279518128/b4c7b53d52274e6174010196b8b0f8a1.jpg Welcome If you continue east from Malaga a great wall of mountains greet you. The majestic Sierra Nevadas are home to the Iberian Peninsula’s highest peak, Mulhacen, standing at 11,411ft. This mountain range stays snow covered most of the year and attracts skiers from across the country. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/5a6fd87ce2c48387dff2ac88/1517279408355/Cordoba-Spain-Roman-Bridge-Games-of-Thrones-Location-in-Spain-Top-places-in-Spain-1000x640.jpg Welcome Heading eastward toward Cordoba and Malaga the terrain slowly turns to hills dappled with olive groves. These fertile lands are the historic sites of Roman, Muslim, and Christian settlements. As like much of Andalusia, there are many layers of rich history all packed within modern day cities. For example, Cordoba is home to the famous Mezquita. This beautiful mosque, inspiring a sense of tranquility with its intricate hypostyle hall filled with over 800 arches of carved filigree, holds within it a Christian church. The juxtaposition of these clashing ideologies is never better illustrated than within this one architectural masterpiece. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/58a380a13e00bed5f6b501f8/1487110309597/Spain+Trip.jpg Welcome https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/58a27349db29d63c7fafa865/1487041456591/Spain+Trip.jpg Welcome https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58a2633da5790a100dc6f804/t/5a6fd3d453450a5e352606d1/1517278130282/ Welcome
