Southern Spain is a land comprised of varying cultures and terrains. The land stretches from the Sierra Morena Mountains in the North to the Sierra Nevada in the South, which roll into the crystal blue Mediterranean Sea. Most of this southern portion fits within the Andalucian countryside. This region is home to two of Spain’s most famous monuments - the Mosque of Cordoba and the remarkable Alhambra in Granada.

Andalucía is the place to experience the buzz of the Spanish fiesta, you’ll find activity everywhere from the tapas bars to the old palaces. The region is typified by pretty pueblos blancos which cling tenaciously to steep hillsides.  It is a haven for sun worshippers and golf fanatics making it an ideal destination from which to enjoy a luxury villa holiday, offering something for all the family.

Due to their geographical position in the middle of the Mediterranean, the Balearic Islands , benefited from many influences including the Greeks. In the 13th century Catalan settlers brought their language and culture to the islands. The largest island Majorca, is a perfect mix of stunning beaches and a rugged interior which is ideal for exploring by horse or bike.  Palma, the capital, oozes style and rewards the explorer with fine boutiques and a plethora of galleries while its massive Gothic Cathedral, an imposing backdrop to the rows of gleaming yachts in the harbour, is well worth a visit.  Ibiza although smaller, features a number of World Heritage sites, but the main attraction is its gleaming waters and exquisite family-friendly beaches.  This small piece of paradise is perfect place for slowing the pace and indulging in some gentle walking, riding, yoga or of course, swimming.

Catalonia is an incredibly diverse region fronting onto the Mediterranean Sea, backed by the majestic Pyranees mountains and flanked to the north by France.  Alluring Barcelona is its beating heart, a city coursing with passion for football and food.  Take time strolling along Las Ramblas and absorb some outrageous architecture particularly the bizarre confection that is the Sagrada Familia, from the imagination of that famous Catalan Antoni Gaudi.  Further up the coast in Figueres, another strange construction demands attention with its roofline of giant eggs, the museum and final resting place of Catalonia’s other favourite son, Salvador Dali.  On the theme of the sublime, for an unforgettable experience jump in the car and head to the coastal town of Roses to sit at a table in one of the world’s great restaurants, 3 Michelin starred, El-Bulli.
