Departing on selected dates from June to October 2012

Andalucia is simply one of the most beautiful corners of Europe and it is, as yet, undiscovered by the majority. It’s a land where the excesses of the twentieth century seem not to have taken root and where travellers are genuinely welcomed as honoured guests, rather than tourists. A land immortalised by the writings of Ernest Hemmingway and beloved by Orson Welles, where stunningly beautiful, sun-kissed countryside, covered by green olive groves stretch off into the distance under a perpetual azure blue sky. With biscuit coloured plains, untamed rivers, deep gorges and the spectacular snow capped Sierra Nevada mountains providing the backdrop, there can be few places on earth which can boast such a wealth of natural wonders in such a small area. Tiny whitewashed villages perch on the hilltops like eagles’ nests, with narrow winding streets where every house has window boxes crammed with flowers of every description and colour, adding a touch of vitality to these sleepy hamlets little changed since Columbus’ days.

Andalucia has a long and violent past stretching from the dawn of civilisation. The Phoenicians and ancient Greeks traded, whereas Julius Caesar fought here, as did Hannibal with his elephants. That incredible people, the Moors, stayed for many hundreds of years, excelling in science, art and, above all, architecture. The region is crammed with legacies from throughout the centuries from a variety of civilisations. So, for a unique blend of superb countryside; famous and stunningly beautiful monuments and cities, wonderful art, and all set in a country which welcomes tourists as honoured guests – come with us and see.
