Andalucia is known for many things: the Alhambra, flamenco music, and paella. But what's often overlooked are the many other delicious foods and drinks that call Andalucia home. So, if you're heading to stay in an Andalucia and want a taste of its culinary treasures, here are some recommendations:
Andalucia is thought to be the birthplace of tapas so it’s little surprise that you can enjoy one of Spain’s most loved dishes throughout this region. The word ‘tapa’ literally means ‘a lid’ or ‘a cover’ and many think that this his how the term comes from, as bartenders would serve drinks with a saucer on top to keep out the flies, and over time the saucer would be used to serve portions of cheese, olives or ham.
Of course, these days there are hundreds of divine dishes to choose from, and our Andalucia villa rentals are ideally located so you can get the most authentic experience.
Besides the tapas, there are a number of other traditional dishes that you should try: Jamón ibérico de bellota: The most expensive and best quality ham. It comes from pigs raised on acorns in the hillsides of Andalucía. If you're lucky enough to sample this type of ham, go for it.
Jamón serrano (mountain-style ham): This is a common type of cured pork made with lean loin cuts. It's generally cheaper than other types of hams but still delicious if you're looking for something tasty and easy on your wallet.
Settle down with a glass of sherry and make yourself comfortable. The first thing to know is that sherry is a fortified wine from the southern Spanish province of Andalucia, produced in the region around Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera.
Made from white grapes grown on steep hillsides, it's aged in oak barrels (called solera) for at least two years before being bottled—usually longer—giving it an amber color and a sweet-yet-dry taste that makes it easy to drink.
Sherry has evolved over centuries from its origins as a basic table wine into an elegant beverage with many varieties ranging from bone dry to sweet dessert wines. It can be divided into five general categories:
These groups each have their own style based on aging time and use of barrel types.
Cava is a sparkling wine made using some of the same grapes as champagne—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier—but it also uses Garnacha (known locally as Grenache), Macabeo (also known as Viura or Macabeu) and Parellada (also known as Callet).
The vineyards are located primarily around Barcelona, with other production regions being Tarragona, Lleida and Navarra, and you'll find a diverse array of cava options to savor during your Andalucia villa holiday.
The main difference between cava and champagne lies with how long they're aged before being bottled; cava is usually released at least two years after fermentation, whereas most champagnes are sold only after three years aging on lees.
With over 200 different grape varieties grown in the region, you'll discover something delicious to wash your tapas down during your villa holiday in Andalucia:
There’s no shortage of cultural delights to discover during your Andalucia villa holiday. Whether it’s pottering through the cobbled streets of the whitewashed mountain villages, attending an energetic flamenco dance, exploring Nerja’s jaw-dropping caves, or admiring the sublime architecture in cities such as Granada and Seville, the whole region has a rich cultural heritage.
Andalucia is one of the most celebrated regions in Spain because of its rich cultural heritage. Its architecture is particularly striking with its Moorish influence seen in many buildings including the magnificent Alhambra palace at Granada, which was built during the Nasrid dynasty (1232-1492).
The architecture reflects this diverse past but there are also many other vestiges of history everywhere you look such as Roman ruins in Córdoba and Seville, or medieval castles such as those at Peñafiel and Fuentelsaz.
A villa holiday in Andalucia also offers an array of art galleries too, showcasing Spanish paintings from El Greco to Goya, along with contemporary artists too. This southern region also offers a variety of cultural events including flamenco festivals or concerts by classical musicians like Pablo Casals who performed here until his death in 1973.
With the longest stretch of coastline in southern Spain, this incredible region featuring beaches and mountains is truly unforgettable, and our Andalucia villas are right in the middle of it all.
There are so many places to visit in Andalucia, but the Costa del Sol remains one of the most popular. It has everything you need for an Andalucia villa holiday: white sandy beaches, cliff-top views and plenty of activities to enjoy during your stay.

Granada is home to the most visited monument in Spain, The Alhambra. This impressive palace is perched on a hilltop overlooking the city and is surrounded by high walls and immaculate gardens. The Alhambra was the residence of the Nasrid sultans between the 13th and 15th centuries, and today still brings visitors from all over the world.
Away from the hustle and bustle of Andalucia’s lively cities like Granada, Seville and Cordoba, you’ll find the charming ‘White Villages’. Aptly named for their Moorish-inspired whitewashed buildings, these villages offer a peaceful escape from city life. ‘Arcos de la Frontera’ is a designated national historic site, home to impressive fortified mansions and churches, while picturesque Frigiliana, with its narrow winding streets, looks out towards Nerja and the coast.
The passionate art of Flamenco dancing originated in Andalucia. Known for its rhythmic hand clapping, percussive footwork and expressive movements of the hands, arms and body, it’s usually accompanied by a guitar and singing. Flamenco is a captivating display of energy and flair, and it’s well worth seeing one of the many shows held throughout the year.
