Andalucía is the southernmost region of Spain with eight provinces: Cádiz, Córdoba, Jaén, Huelva, Almería, Málaga, Granada and Sevilla.

Andalucía is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe thanks to its beautiful scenery, sandy beaches, spectacular mountains, diversity of flora and fauna, fantastic attractions, festivals, fine dinner, but above all for the warmth and hospitality of its friendly people.

Perhaps the most unique features of this charming region is the remnats of its Moorish past. The Moors were a mixture of Berbers and Arabs who crossed into Spain from North Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar and occupied the peninsula, which they called Al Andalus, for more than seven centuries, dating from 710 when they first arrived in Tarifa. In just four years, they had practically conquered the whole country, but they soon retreated to the south of the peninsula, where they settled in the cities of Cordoba, Seville and Granada, developing one of the most sophisticated civilizations of the Middle Ages. Each of the provinces of Andalusia has spectacular remains of its monuments, the most important of these, without doubt, the Alhambra in Granada and the Mosque of Cordoba.

Besides this, Andalucía has 5 places of great cultural interest which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These places are:

Mosque and the old town in Córdoba.
Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzin in Granada.
