Best time to visit: March-June, September-November
Go for this: Alhambra, a fortified palace overlooking the city of Granada and once the royal residence of Granada’s emirs. The Moorish architecture, robust gardens, and stunning views of Granada make Alhambra a truly memorable experience.
But try this: Cordoba, one of Andalusia’s most fascinating cities. Wander around La Juderia (Jewish Quarters), with its flower-filled patios and cobblestone streets; visit the city’s Mosque-Cathedral; and wind down with a stroll along the Calleja de Las Flores, Cordoba's prettiest thoroughfare.
Favorite guest experience: Tapas & Flamenco in Seville. Experience the city’s best bites alongside a local foodie expert. Head off the beaten track and into family-run shops to taste the true flavor of the city (including Spain’s most prized gem, cured acorn-fed Iberian ham) – all while getting insider information on the iconic traditions that make Seville so unique! No better way to end this amazing day than enjoying a Flamenco show at one of the oldest and traditional “flamenco–tablaos” in Spain.
Favorite hotel: Hotel Alfonso XIII, one of Spain’s most prestigious hotels, built by King Alfonso XIII for the royals and VIPs attending Seville’s 1929 world fair. It’s a prime example of Andalusian design with its mosaic-covered arches, soaring towers and an Instagram-worthy courtyard.
Favorite restaurant: Zoko Sevilla, a trendily casual restaurant in the center of Seville, serving traditional Andalusian fare, including the tenderest bluefin tuna (atun de almadraba) as well as amazing rice dishes.
Foods:
- Salmorejo (tomato soup)
- Gazpacho, Gambas al Ajillo (garlic shrimp)
- Pinchitos (meat skewers)
Wine:
- Sherry
- Pedro Ximénez
