INTRODUCTION

 

Although renowned for its resort beaches, there is much more to Andalucía than sand and sea. The region also boasts quiet fishing villages, fascinating historic towns and cities and makes a great base for enjoying outdoor activities.

 

Our Luxury Villas in Andaluciaare well located for exploring the region. Villa Sancha is a family villa located close to the spectacular pueblo blanco (white village) of Ronda. Ronda sits perched on a cliff beside a yawning gorge near to other such white villages such as Grazalema, surrounded by cork forests and dramatic mountains. Further west is Andalucía’s capital Seville, the fourth largest city in Spain. Seville’s rich heritage is evidenced by the Moorish Giralda and Torre del Oro, whilst the Reales Alcazares is an eclectic combination of Christian-Mudejar architecture, with its high, fortified walls and verdant tropical gardens. The old Jewish quarter of Santa Cruz is a maze of white alleyways and quaint squares dotted with orange trees. Seville’s Renaissance and Baroque buildings date back to the period following the Christian Reconquest of 1492, when the city was granted a trading monopoly with the New World.

 

To the east is the hilltop Andalucía villa, Villa La Maroma, a delightfully restored Spanish cortijo. Gastronomy is high on the list of the owners’ interests and the villa can be booked with its own private chef, David Palacios. David can also be booked for local gastronomy tours and tapas trails. To the east of Villa Maroma is one of Spain’s most well-known attractions, the Alhambra. Located in Granada, this palace, dating back to the 14th century, dominates the hilltop and offers breathtaking gardens and architecture.

 

Of course, the coast is one of the most popular reasons for visiting the region. To experience the buzz of this region a trip to the Costa del Sol is a must. Marbella is the sophisticated hub of the coast, with its enchanting historic centre swathed in bougainvillea, luxury boutiques and shops, restaurants offering everything from caviar to grilled sardines, quiet bars and throbbing discos. Of the numerous café-lined marinas along the coast, the finest of them all, Puerto Banus, is filled with some of the most spectacular yachts in the whole of the Mediterranean.

CURRENCY INFORMATION

The Euro (€) is the official currency of Spain. Coins are available in 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, 50, cent , €1 & €2 denominations. Notes are available in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, €500 denominations.

 

MONEY MATTERS

Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here (though a limited number of merchants have American Express accounts) and ATM access is widespread.

Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in-country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure.

Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.

 

TIPPING IN SPAIN

The Spaniards are fairly relaxed about tipping etiquette. However service is not usually included in restaurants and it is common practice to leave the spare change, or up to 10% of the total in a smarter restaurant. Taxi drivers and bartenders may be tipped less. Many petrol stations are not self service, however it is not usual to tip the station attendant.

 

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE FORMALITIES

Travel documents are your responsibility. In general you should have:

  • A signed, valid passport that will remain valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. Your passport must have enough blank pages (excluding amendment pages) available for entry and exit stamps issued when entering and exiting immigration points.
  • Visas are required for certain nationalities and you are strongly advised to check your status allowing plenty of time for visa application.

 

WEATHER IN ANDALUCIA

Andalucia has an excellent climate for those who like guaranteed sunshine all year round. Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons with midday temperatures around 30ºC. In July and August the temperature regularly reaches 40ºC. Even in December and January coastal temperatures can reach 20ºC to 25ºC.

Because of its geographical diversity, there are differences in climate between various locations resulting in three distinctive weather zones in Andalucia:

  • The Costal Zone with hot summers including sunbathing almost every day. The water is warm and there is virtually no rain. Daily highs about 35ºC and nightly lows 15ºC.
  • The Inland Lowland Zone with its very hot summers has virtually no rain. Daily highs up to 40ºC and nightly lows 18ºC. Both zones have mild winters with clear and sunny winter days. The overcast but warm days provide daily highs about 20ºC and nightly lows rarely much below 10ºC.
  • The Inland Highland Zone has warm summers with daily highs up to 30ºC and nightly lows 8ºC. There is virtually no rain and sun almost every day. Winter has sunny days with overcast but cool days. Daily highs about 20ºC and nightly lows down to freezing.

It is advisable to contact your doctor before you travel if you have any specific health concerns and take out appropriate travel and medical insurance.
