Flamenco, Sunsets, and Tapas: A Journey Through the Heart of Southern Spain

Shana England • February 6, 2024

The journey we took to Portugal, Gibraltar, and Spain was unforgettable. The rich cultural diversity, breathtaking natural beauty, and mouth-watering local cuisine of these amazing locations are sure to wow.

The southernmost part of Spain, Andalusia, has the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east. Beautiful beaches, rugged mountains, and parched deserts make it famous. Historic and cultural landmarks in the area include Granada's Alhambra and Córdoba's Great Mosque, which was turned into a church during the Christian Reconquest.

Andalusia is home to flamenco music and dance, as well as mouthwatering dishes like gazpacho, paella, and tapas. 


Seville (one of my favorite cities), the capital and largest city of Andalusia, is well-known for its history, architecture, and nightlife. Granada, with its Alhambra palace and Sierra Nevada mountains; Córdoba, with its mosque-cathedral and old Jewish Quarter; and Malaga, with its beaches and museums, are also notable cities.

Here is the schedule of our journey and the destinations we got to explore:
