Pine groves and dunes of fine sand stand watch over the beaches that run from Ayamonte (the estuary of the river Guadiana) to Tarifa and Gibraltar, comprising a coast made of patches of sand and sun. A coastline where the rivers split into myriad channels before pouring into the sea; where the wetlands, the estuaries and the salt pans blur the boundaries between water and land. It is known as the Coast of Light due to the peculiar effect of the sun on the spotless whitewashed walls, the golden dunes, and the silvery reflection of the sea, the only touch of grey in this land of color. Inland: varied landscapes of mountains with their blue Spanish firs, meadowlands on which the fighting bulls graze, vineyards and snow-white villages, whose names end in `of the Frontier` and which are presided over by Arab fortresses. The spring is an explosion of flowers and processions; the winter is mild and sunny, a temperate paradise.

Combine the beauty of the Sierra de Cazorla Nature Park with the monumental cities of Úbeda and Jaén along the so-called `Nazari Route` This itinerary, staying for three nights in the Paradores of these three cities in the province of Jaén, rescues and extols the legacy of Al-Andalus in this area. The route begins in Cazorla, whose Moorish past is evident from the castle of La Yedra, continues with the town wall of Úbeda and then the supreme serenity of the Arab Baths of Jaén. But its Arab legacy is not the only wonder this region has to offer: the Cazorla Nature Park, the Renaissance mansions of Úbeda -known as the Spanish Tuscany- or the noble mansions of Jaén are other highly recommended visits.

This route, more than any other, explores the eight centuries of Muslim presence on the Spanish peninsula. Between Córdoba, the ancient capital of the caliphate, and Granada, seat of the Nazarí kingdom, a landscape of rolling knolls rife with legendary Hispano-Muslim treasures unfolds. The Andalusí Legacy Route begins in Málaga, and then explores mountainous Ronda, turns toward the Atlantic continuing along the shores of Cádiz and, with a stop near Hispalis in monumental Carmona, continues toward the metropolis that rivaled Baghdad in the year 929, becoming the capital of the caliphate: we?re referring to Córdoba, homeland of the philosopher Seneca. The Andalusí Legacy Route includes Arabic baths, fortresses, castles and mosques coupled with a delicious culinary and confectionary tradition that has noticeably preserved its Arabic influences. As one would expect, the trip is sprinkled with Andalusian folklore.

Explore the history and culture of Al-Ándalus. This route is an invitation to enjoy the handicrafts, cuisine, folk festivals and customs of the cities and towns linked to this civilization.

Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, Ronda - the names ring sweet to the ears. These cities are bastions of a romantic feel that harkens back to a bygone era. Andalucia is most people`s quintessential dream-image of Spain. It doesn`t disappoint. This is the Spain most often seen in films and portrayed in novels: Dazzling white villages and fortified castles on hilltops in the distance - olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, and shaded, flower filled patios resting coolly in the afternoon heat. The people here are vivacious, passionate and proud. This is the birthplace of Flamenco - a fiery and profound music perhaps best interpreted by the gypsies who have made this land their home.
