Andalucía is the second largest of the Spanish regions and is situated in the south of Spain overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.  Seville, Jerez, Caldiz, Granada, Alambra, and Cordoba are all in this region.

It's mild climate all year around and the cultural blend of its architecture make this region a unique corner of Spain to visit.  Monumental cities, enchanting villages, superb golfing and vacation resorts paired with great cuisine and the passionate Flamenco shows and you're in for a wonderful experience.
