Tips & Facts for a Road Trip through Andalusia
This blog takes you through the eight provinces of Andalusia, with for each province: cultural highlights, landscapes, must-sees & must-dos, tips for food and drink, and special overnight stays (with booking links where possible).
Think of it as a first introduction to the eight Andalusian provinces — a journey through the lands of Almería, Granada, Málaga, Cádiz, Huelva, Sevilla, Córdoba and Jaén. Each so close together, yet each so different. Andalusia is a large autonomous region with an area of 87,268 km² — about twice the size of the Netherlands — with 8 provinces and over 8.5 million inhabitants. A region full of contrasts.
In the 18 years we have been coming here, the last 9 of which we have lived here permanently, we have truly visited 7 of the 8 provinces, once or several times, and we still want to keep coming back for more ;-) Only Almería remains on our list for a first visit.
An overview of all provinces, highlights, must-dos, and some general tips.

A night full of passion and music
A few weeks ago, we experienced an amazing flamenco evening in Vélez-Málaga at Flamenco Abierto (https://flamencoabierto.com/).
But like true Andalusians, we started the evening at Restaurante La Gamba Dorada. There, we enjoyed delicious seafood tapas and a refreshing cold beer and glass of wine. After dinner, we walked to the peña El Niño de Vélez.

With friends, I recently went to a football match at Málaga's stadium, La Rosaleda, located in the district of the same name, and has a maximum capacity of 30,000 spectators. Around the stadium there are stalls where you can buy refreshments and snacks, t-shirts or scarves. So, being true fans, we also entered the stadium with a blue and white chequered scarf, of ‘our’ club, around our necks. This evening, the match between Málaga CF and Real Zaragoza was on the programme, two mid-table players in the Segunda División, so it was going to be close.

On December 15, 2024, Málaga was once again the scene of the full and half marathon.
The city welcomed more than 16,000 runners from Spain and beyond. This event is renowned for its stunning route along iconic landmarks and its lively, festive atmosphere. Roos ran the half marathon this year and shares her experience of this special day.
