Where is it located?

It is located in the south of Spain, with a territory of 87 268 km2 and a population of 8 427 000 inhabitants. It is the most populated region in Spain and is composed of eight provinces, each with its history, its identity and its diversity, which enrich it and contribute to its gastronomic, folkloric and artistic richness ( like Seville’s Cathedral). The provinces are: Jaen, Cordoba, Seville, Huelva, Cadiz, Malaga, Granada and Almeria; Seville is the capital.It is located in the warm-temperate zone of the Earth, so its climate has some very definite characteristics, such as the mildness of its temperatures and the dryness of its summers.

Art? Culture? Food? Nature? It has it all

Undoubtedly, the uniqueness and personality of Andalusia is determined by its geographical setting. According to Sevillian historian Domínguez Ortiz, “the essence of Andalusia must be sought in its geographical reality on the one hand, and on the other, in the conscience of its inhabitants. From the geographical point of view, the southern lands as a whole are too wide and varied to include them all in one unit, but three Andalusias; the Sierra Morena, the Valley and the penibética”.

Its more than 800 km extend from the province of Almeria and the Mediterranean Sea, to the province of Huelva and the Atlantic Ocean, where the sun shines almost all year round, with mild winters. The easternmost coast is the coast of Almeria and Huelva is the westernmost, bordering Portugal.The influences of the different peoples that inhabited Andalusia, such as the Iberians, the Phoenicians, the Tartessians, the Romans and later the Arab domination, have forged a society with extraordinary cultural richness. In the oldest villages we find roman ruins or amphitheaters mixed with Andalusian culture with true works of art.
