A six-stage itinerary through the beauties of Spain and in particular of Andalusia. Here is what we recommend you see for a low cost road trip.
Un trip to Spain through the Andalusian region you can do it by flying to one or the other end of the region and then turning around in machine.
Plotting a virtual itinerary of a trip to Andalusia I recommend that you visit and eat or sleep in different places, so as not to miss anything of the beautiful Spanish world. Andalucia due to its proximity to Africa is rather warm with landscapes that differ at times in a radical way from those of central-northern Spain.
1st stage - Seville, Alcazar
THEAlcazar it is one of the most beautiful palaces in Seville and Andalusia. Residence of many generations of kings its architectural influences range from Islamic to Neoclassical. If you pass through Seville you cannot miss it, sometimes there is a bit of a queue at the entrance but you will be delighted by the beauty of the building. Divided into many sections and rooms but also in gardens and corridors that exploit the moments of light for color games fairytale.
2nd stage - Seville, Donana National Park
The proximity to Africa of this huge park makes it his unique biodiversity throughout Europe. Here live endangered species such as theimperial eagle Spanish, the Iberian lynx and other animals of Africa. The Park can be visited with a guide with 4-hour visits or alternatively one-day internal visits.
Numbers: in the park there are approx 700 species of plants, 30 species of mammals, 250 species of birds and 30 reptiles and amphibians, a nice mix for those who want to be in contact with nature.
3st stage - Gibilterra, a stone's throw from Africa
In Gibraltar it seems to come out of Andalusia because of the strictly English road signs and signs. There English domination made this location a mix of different cultures. Despite the typical English signs and telephone boxes, in fact, the extreme proximity to Africa they make the climate very hot and the influence of the African continent can also be seen in other things. Characteristic of this land is the presence of macaques, the only species in Europe that is found in full freedom, fun and harmless are animals to play with in Gibraltar.
4st stage - Cordoba, Mezquita
La Mosque di Cordoba is the work ofmuslim art which here finds arches and columns, colors and shadows very important for Muslim architecture. The Moors made it the mosque of the city by enlarging it each time to be able to contain the large number of faithful, but after the reconquest it became the cathedral of the city of Cordoba. A curiosity of the Mezquita are its red and white striped arches, beautiful 850 pieces of colored granite were needed to build these arches.
5st stage - Granada, Guadix
Near Granada is the town of Guadix, whose main characteristic is to have the so-called Cave Houses. The terrain of Guadix is very arid and the depressions that the terrain forms are taken by the inhabitants to build their homes. The soft ground to be modeled but also resistance to water infiltration is optimal for building. Must see places near Granada.
6th stage - Granada, Alhambra
Declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984 the Alhambra is one of the most beautiful monuments in Andalusia and in the whole of Spain. Alhambra, which means red, has this name because of the red walls, a real walled city with schools, shops and all the necessary services inside. A complex in which the sultans lived and which was completely detached from the city of Granada.
