Spain
Andalusia
The Moorish south: the Alhambra, three great cities, white villages and the mountains behind them.
Destinations
Granada
The last Moorish city in Spain, under the Sierra Nevada, with the Alhambra above it.
Seville
Orange trees, the world's largest gothic cathedral, and flamenco that belongs to specific families.
Córdoba
The largest city in the world in the 10th century, with a mosque-cathedral of 856 columns at its centre.
Ronda
A town split by a 120-metre gorge with an 18th-century bridge across it, in the middle of white-village country.
Cádiz
Possibly the oldest continuously inhabited city in western Europe, on a spit, surrounded by water on three sides.
Málaga
A port that spent a decade turning itself into a museum city, with Picasso's birthplace and a Moorish fortress above.
Places to see
Everything recorded across Andalusia, in one list.
The Alhambra
Nasrid palaces, a fortress and a summer garden on one hill, entered in half-hour slots booked weeks ahead.
Albaicín
White lanes on the hill facing the Alhambra, best walked upward and finished at San Nicolás.
Capilla Real
Where Ferdinand and Isabella are buried, next to the cathedral that was built to outshine it.
Real Alcázar
A working royal palace with Mudéjar ceilings and gardens that have been continuously planted since the 1100s.
Seville Cathedral & the Giralda
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, with a minaret for a bell tower and a ramp instead of stairs.
Plaza de España
A 1929 half-circle of tiled bridges and alcoves, one for each province, around a canal.
Mezquita-Catedral
856 columns of a 10th-century mosque with a cathedral inserted into the middle, and both left standing.
Roman Bridge
Sixteen arches across the Guadalquivir, Roman in origin and rebuilt many times, best at dawn.
Puente Nuevo
An 18th-century bridge across a 120-metre gorge, with a path down to see it from beneath.
Things to do
The Nasrid palaces, on a timed ticket
Half-hour entry slots, sold out weeks ahead. Take the earliest of the day — the courtyards were designed for low light and few people.
Tapas, the Granada way
Every drink comes with a plate you did not order and cannot choose; four bars is a dinner.
Flamenco in a peña
Members' clubs that admit visitors quietly; no castanets, no stage, and the singing is the part that matters.
Journeys through Andalusia
Accommodation & restaurants
EuropeDoor lists neither, yet. Both are business listings rather than editorial entries: they need an operator who claims them, a verification tier and a way to keep prices current, and all three are blocked on the same thing as everything else commercial here. How listings will work · what is built and what is blocked.
Publishing a scraped hotel list would be quick and would be the first unverified thing on this site. That is the trade being refused.
The record
What this atlas holds about Andalusia. The counts are derived from the region's own destinations and move when it does; the seasons and the daily cost belong to Spain and are repeated here rather than looked up.
