Andalusia – A Land of Light and Legend
Once Spain’s poorest region, Andalucía — particularly the provinces of Málaga, Granada, and Seville — is now one of Europe’s most popular destinations. Visitors are drawn by its sandy beaches, rolling countryside, spectacular mountains, historic towns, and warm, spirited people. In Málaga province, the Mediterranean coast is home to the famous Costa del Sol, while nearby the Axarquía blends rolling hills, whitewashed villages, and traditional Andalusian life, offering a perfect balance between coast and countryside.
Beyond its famous cities and dazzling beaches, Andalucía is dotted with charming, unspoilt whitewashed villages — the renowned pueblos blancos — often overlooked by tourists, yet easily accessible. Villages like Archez, Salares, Cómpeta, and Canillas de Albaida offer a glimpse of authentic Andalusian life, where winding streets, whitewashed houses, and centuries-old buildings still reflect the region’s Moorish heritage.
In short, Andalucía is a region of stunning contrasts and timeless charm, where nature, culture, and traditional life combine to create an unforgettable experience. Despite its richness and diversity, this magical corner of Europe is easy to reach, with hundreds of flights arriving weekly at Málaga’s Pablo Picasso International Airport. Casa Las Jaras is conveniently located just 70 minutes’ drive from the airport, offering a perfect base to explore the very best of Andalucía.
