Torremolinos

by solopes

Andalucia, the mos traditional region of Spain is also served by large coast with mild water. Many places suffered heavy construction, with problems of landscape preserving and qualified structures. Torremolinos was one of the first big investments, and it is, today, a large city tourist orientated. Not far from Portuguese border it is one of the top destinations for us, and I've been there several times, since the first one in... 1963. The changes are so big that I always meet a different Torremolinos

Almeria

by blint

Situated in the very east of the province on the coast next to Granada,. It is Andalucia's driest province which gives most of the province a Martian or Lunar feel. In fact there is a dessert here which is one of Almeria's main attractions as this is where many Spaghetti Westerns were filmed. You can go and visit a couple of film sets where they put on a live interactive show for you too. It can be found off the Motorway 340 by Tabernas and costs about 12€ to enter. I have posted the website below too.If you aren't all that interested in Westerns then you can go to El Cabo de Gata which is a beautiful beach area backed by rocks. You can go exploring and even find your own private beach! Many other of the beaches in the province have been taken over by foreign tourists. You can go hiking or climbing in the amazing reddish rocks and mountains or go horse riding in the 'bad lands' (this can...

sunny beaches, luxury, and touristy

by Manyana

Costa del Sol is the Andalucian well-known coast at the Iberian Peninsula southern Spain. it has attracted wealthy people and celebrities. i even heard that the previous Saudi king has got a palace in Marbella! so this area is very touristy, i already warn you;^)The coast extends up to 160km long, so it offers a wide range of beaches. the weather is the best around the year in the world, and always good for swimming and sunbathing. I only have been to Marbella and for my surprise, i found it topless! i walked by Malaga corniche though but it was more fishing-like and boat-like than a beach for swimming.although the beaches are perfect for swimming, topless sunbathing, good climate, the only thing i didn't like about them that they are narrow not too wide. i love wide beaches and big spaces but the weather just made forget about this.Famous resorts:MarbellaEsteponaFeungirolaresorts and...

Alhambra Palace

by Manyana

Overviewor Qasr Al-Hamra (ar), established by the Muslim colonizers when they captured Spain. it means the Palace of the Red (castle) as it looks brownish red. I studied the islamic history in Spain back at school and found it fascinating to see what i studied in concrete and flesh! it was like a dream that came true. i studied what materials used in the buildings, sections allocated for different purposes and other historical facts about this beautiful piece of architecture.The palace is divided mainly in six sections:- Generlife Gardens which were established by the Spanish Catholics after they took back Spain from the Muslims. it's a piece of paradise.- Nasrid palace, the residence of the Muslim caliphs, divided into sections for men and women, private space for the sultan himself, it's a gem of brilliant architecture, well-designed and maintained fountains and drainage systems!-...

Cable Car - Belamadina

by jo104

The Telecabina (or 'Teleférico') takes you on an amazing 15-minute journey in a Cable Car that holds 4 people, right up to the highest point in the Malaga Province Monte Calarmorro at an altitude of almost 800 meters above sea level. From this superb vantage point, you not only have the most magnificent views of the Costa del Sol, but also the awesome panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains (white with snow in the winter months), The Guadalhorce Valley and on a clear day you can see Gibraltar and the coast of AfricaThe cost is Euro 11 with a free donkey ride

Sevilla

by pepples46

the City of the best Flamengo Schools, full of tradition with a vibrant colour.now the Capital of Andalucia, a beautiful City, not too big or crowded...with a River through which always facinated me. a City with lots to see, lots to do and... hot!!the place where Operas like Carmen (Bizet), Don Juan (Verdi), Figaros Marriage (Mozart) and Barber of Seville (Rossini) have their setting, Sevilla the backdrop.if you like have a look at my Sevilla page.

ATV Drive

by doogienj

ATV stand for All Terrain Vehicles and is a motorcycle with 4 big tires. Similar to a snowmobile but with wheels.I went for a 1 1/2 hour ride up in the mountains. The company picked me up at my hotel and we drove 1/2 to the starting point. The machines has automatic gear shift, so all you have to do is gas, break and turn.The ride is very varied as you drive in mud, on gravle, rocks, grass, forest, concrete roads and it ends too fast. I was lucky to be going out alone with the leader so we drove fast than they normally to when they have more riders. They same company offers many other adventure excursions to.The ride was a thrill and one of the highlights on the trip

Aguadulce

by solopes

I only made a quick stop in Aguadulce. It is not a top destination, but... almost. It is a nice beach, well secluded by the dry mountains, and... hot, hot, hot.

Try to take in Gibraltar while in the area!

by Bwana_Brown

After spending our final night on the Atlantic coast in Tarifa, we headed east again - aiming for Torremolinos where we hoped to find accommodations on this New Year's Eve, 2009. However, we just had to stop for a quick look at world-famous Gibraltar. Even if it is not part of Andalucia, it is surrounded by it!Present day Gibraltar stems from the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) which was fought by almost all the major powers in Europe to prevent an overly powerful unification of France, Spain and Bavaria. It was during that war, in 1704 that a joint British and Dutch force captured the Rock from its Spanish defenders, with most of the local population fleeing to the mainland as a result. The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, near the end of the war, ceded Gibraltar to Britain in perpetuity and to this day it remains a self-governing British colony (with 99% of the modern-day...

Donkey Sanctuary

by Jandar

This is just outside town. Volunteers care for these unfortunate creatures that have been abandoned for many reasons. Some, the owners can no longer afford them or have no need for them anymore and just leave them to fend for themselves. They can't of coarse. We adopted a young donkey named Pinky and the 22 euros per yr it costs is not much when you concider it helps pay for Pinky's food & medical expenses. The sanctuary also has burros, Andalucian Donkeys, horses, pigs, goat, dogs that can be adopted.
