Cadiz
Occupying a tiny peninsula on the south coast of Spain, Cádiz is a beautiful old city that is well worth a visit. The old town is in the tip of the peninsula and is buzzing with beautiful plazas that are constantly full of life. To get here, you must pass through the new town, an elegant metropolis with excellent beaches.
Seville
If any one place comes close to rolling together everything that’s quintessentially Andalucian, it’s Seville. It has more narrow, winding, medieval lanes and romantic, hidden plazas soaked in the scent of orange blossom than half of Andalucía’s other cities put together. It’s the home of those two bulwarks of Andalucian tradition, flamenco and bullfighting, and its heri tage of art and architecture (Roman, Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, baroque) is without rival in southern Spain.
But Seville’s most developed art form is that of enjoying oneself. To be out at night among the city’s relaxed, fun-loving crowds – in the tapas bars, on the streets, in the clubs and discos – is an experience you won’t forget
Jerez
Strategically located amid rolling countryside and yet just a few minutes from both the Atlantic coastline or the Gaditana hills, Jerez is one of the most beautiful and attractive cities to be found in Western Andalucia.
Equestrian capital, birthplace of Sherry and Brandy de Jerez and the origin of Flamenco: a multitude of distinctive and suggestive characteristics, the roots of which are deeply embedded in ancient tradition, all combine to make the city both distinctive and unique.
You really have to see the incredible “How Andalusian Horses Dance” to believe it! The horses and riders perform as one in a celebration of artistic creativity, harmony and color, accompanied by the rhythmic beat of Spanish music.
Arcos de la Frontera
One of Andalucia’s most beautiful positioned pueblos blancos (white villages), Arcos balances atop a rocky limestone ridge, its whitewashed houses and stone castle walls stopping abruptly as a sheer cliff face plunges down to the fertile valley of the river Guadalete below.
Declared a national historic-artistic monument in 1962 in recognition of its exceptional architecture and impressive location, the old town is a tangled labyrinth of cobbled streets that lead up to a sandstone castle, the Castillo de los Arcos. As you’d expect from such a spectacular vantage point, there are exhilarating views over the town and the rolling plain below.

Gibraltar
The Rock of Gibraltar is home to some Barbary Macaques, the only wild apes in Europe. Natives of Africa, no one knows how they got to Gibraltar. They’re cute but can be quite ferocious, especially if you have an ice cream or a flash car.
You can Walk around the Rock and enjoy the views.
