Self Catering Andalucia Holiday Villas and Apartments

See the birthplace of Picasso, the home of sherry and the flamenco, and enjoy both winter and summer sun. Top cities and towns include Granada with its Muslim heritage and stunning Alhambra Palace and gardens, historic Seville with its cathedral and artistic treasures, Cordoba with its beautiful mosque and Alcazar Palace, and Jerez, famous worldwide for its sherry.

If you really want peace and quiet then why not rent a holiday villa in Andalucia in the north of the region and the Parque Natural Sierra Norte with 1,648 sq kms of rolling countryside and wooded valleys. The countryside around the hill town of Ronda (just an hour's drive inland from Marbella) is also very beautiful and although busy with day trippers, it's worth staying in this spectacular location for a couple of nights an a traditional Andalucia apartment before moving on to explore the Parque Natural Sierra de Grazalema - one of Andalucia's greenest areas with pretty white mountain villages with traditional villas in Andalucia and good walks.
