The passing of the greatest Mediterranean civilizations and the hallmarks left by great men – poets, painters and navigators – profoundly marked the southernmost region of Iberia where the tip of Europe and the tip of Africa, known as the Pillars of Hercules, almost touch. A generous land by nature, Andalusia reveals her unique treasures in a trip that follows the traces of the Moors who entered via Gibraltar and those of the Christians who reconquered al-Andaluz: the white beaches on the blue of the Atlantic, the anachronistic caves in Guadix, the cathedrals-cum-mosques, the red fortress in Granada, the wilderness of the Coto Do?ana and the futuristic Seville Expo. The history of Andalusia is relived in the region’s thousands of age-old traditions and celebrations that embody the “Andalusianness” so much talked of but offering so much to be discovered.
