Andalusia has many ‘must see’s’ and ‘must doe’s’ ……..the hardest thing is choosing exactly where you would like to travel to and what you would like do on your small group tour holiday. Below we have given a very ‘short’ list of some of the ‘main events’ in Andalusia.

2. Ronda……the picturesque gorge town so loved by Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles and the home of modern day bull fighting and well worth traveling to whilst in Andalusia.
