A holiday in the south of Spain is a firm favourite for anyone looking for guaranteed sun, good temperatures all year round and total comfort. Andalusia has a simply seductive nature: from charming, historic cities that will surprise you at every turn, to mountains that are either covered with snow or olive trees. There are also endless beaches where you can enjoy the Mediterranean from any of the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Andalusia. Enjoy your holidays where life is good.

Andalusia boasts museums such as Picasso's Birthplace Museum; rivers including the Guadalquivir, and a legacy of Moorish art as well as monuments as imposing as the Alhambra. Visitors can also ski in the mountains, surf the waves and, above all, immerse themselves in the region’s delightful customs with its culture of sunlit terraces and tapas.

One of the region’s biggest claims to fame is its gastronomy. Summer simply tastes better with a bowl of gazpacho, a cold tomato soup, or a Cordovan-style salmorejo, a thick puree made from tomatoes and bread. All year round you can enjoy sardines on skewers, puchero, the famous Andalusian stew, or simply a slice of toasted baguette with oil and local ham. And, in between mouthfuls, don’t forget to take advantage of the lively nightlife, Andalusian fairs and the atmosphere of the traditional bars.

There is so much to choose from, although you can't miss a stroll through the Albaicín neighbourhood and the Alhambra, which takes centre stage in the views from the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Granada; relaxing on the beaches and at the spa at the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Malaga; days basking under the Atlantic sun on the seafront of the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Huelva; or a trip from the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Cádiz along the Cádiz promenade and its coast. 

The south of Spain makes it easy to have a fantastic holiday. The challenge will be to choose which of our hotels in Andalusia will live up to the expectations of the trip of your dreams.
