The region is a cultural treasure trove, where history comes alive. With a rich past, Andalusia was founded by Romans and later ruled by Islamic Moors for over 800 years. The influence of Moorish heritage is evident in the Alcazars, mosques, and whitewashed hilltop towns that grace the region's landscape.
The Alhambra in Granada, the last stronghold of the Moorish Kingdom, is a mystical and highly visited site in southern Spain. The Mezquita in Cordoba, once a significant mosque, and the city of Cordoba itself, known for its interfaith coexistence in the past, provide fascinating insights into the region's diverse history. Seville, with its striking colonial architecture and grand Gothic Cathedral, is another gem of the south.
The Costa del Sol, along the coastline of the Province of Málaga, showcases a diverse range of landscapes, including beaches, cliffs, estuaries, bays, and dunes. The region is famous for its popular destinations such as Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, and peaceful Casares. With over 325 sunny days a year and a pleasant climate, the Costa del Sol is a dream location for a holiday.
We had such a fantastic holiday organised by Sara in the Canada/Alaska team, she was very patient with my questions and nothing was to much trouble. The holiday ran so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We had a glitch with one of the activities as there was a cancellation, a quick email to Sara and everything was taken care of. I have no hesitation in recommending Entire Travel Group, we will use them again 😀
Lisa organised our first-time cruise to perfection. Hassle-free and seamless. She answered queries, big and small, quickly and thoughtfully. I felt that no question was too silly to ask, as Lisa was always professional and friendly. We went on Twice the Tahiti with Windstar, which was wonderful: Service : Excellent Scenery : sublime Boat size : just right (300 passengers) Amenities : fantastic Cabin : large and comfortable - we even had a walk-in closet!! Lisa took care of everything. All we had to do was get to our local airport. All transfers and accommodation vouchers were there and easily utilised. If you want to explore French Polynesia, then we highly recommend Windstar Seabreeze.
Le Bora Bora Pearl resort is exceptional . I needed to do something special and this is the place to do it.Lisa from Entire travel group is so friendly and professional. I will always make my travel plans with her. She made it feel effortless and stress free and is a pleasure to deal with.
Our 'Dreams of Tahiti' Cruise aboard the Windstar Star Breeze has been the best cruise we ever experienced. The destinations, the ship, the staff and the dining couldn't be faulted by us at any time. Prior to our departure, from home, the ETG Liaison agent Lisa was outstanding in her commitment to every detail and ensuring we understood everything of what we were to about to experience. Lisa was very patient with all our requests and her itinerary presentation was first rate. What a great holiday experience !!!
The weather in the south is warmer than the north, meaning the only time of the year you really should avoid, are July and August. Seville is the hottest part of Spain, frequently seeing summer temperatures rise to 45 degrees. While the coastal towns of Malaga and Cadiz are cooled by evening sea breezes. October and November are good options and off-season which is a plus if you’re wanting to visit the sights.
Alternatively, March through June are also great months to visit, allowing you to enjoy the buzz of the summer nights while avoiding the summer’s peak. Winter is quiet in comparison but notably warmer than northern Europe.
