For a family holiday

Families will thoroughly enjoy the lively resorts sprinkled across Costa del Sol. Its sandy beaches and animated atmosphere provide excellent conditions for family bonding. For a dollop of culture, consider a stay in Seville, with its plentiful family-friendly attractions.

Thrill-seeking groups of friends might choose Marbella, in Costa del Sol, known for its pulsating nightlife and water sports. Friend groups interested in culture and history will find Córdoba a rich tapestry of experiences, from traditional Flamenco performances to meandering walks in the city's historic quarter.

When to Visit

Andalusia’s Mediterranean climate produces hot summers and mild winters, making it a year-round destination. The scorching sun of July and August appeal to sun-lovers and beach-goers, although these lead to crowded sights and elevated prices. Spring (April-June) and Autumn (September-October) present a milder yet warm climate, fewer crowds, and better deals, hence making them ideal times for a visit. Winter (November-March) offers a respite from the summer surge, coupled with budget-friendly opportunities and a unique insight into Andalusia's Christmas traditions.
