CU TRENUL PRIN ANDALUZIA

About the destination: Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, radiates art from every corner. Regarded as one of the oldest cities in Spain and Europe, this cosmopolitan port is vibrantly modern while still holding onto its extensive historical past. The palm-tree lined Paseo el Parque leads you beneath Alcazaba, a Moorish palace whose fortified walls surround aromatic gardens and an archaeological museum. The towering Gibralfaro Castle sits atop a nearby hill, offering exceptional views of the expansive city below. The Picasso Museum is also worth a visit, providing not only an impressive artistic heritage, but also educational activities and cultural events. A nighttime visit to Malaga is highly recommended: don't miss a leisurely stroll along the harbor where traditional fried fish is paired with cold beer at chiringuitos (beach bars), and take in the sight of the illuminated Alcazaba, which stands guard over the city from Mount Gibralfaro.

About the destination: Ronda is a town in Malaga. The ancient city of Ronda boasts one of the most beautiful historical centers in Spain. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1966, it contains a rich and diverse historic heritage. Its old town has been designated as a Property of Cultural Interest. Celts, Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs all inhabited these lands, which were later reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs. Several bridges connect the two halves of one of the most fascinating towns on the route of the Whitewashed Villages, nestled in the heart of the Ronda hills, just a few kilometers from the Costa del Sol.

About the destination: Spain's diverse heritage is perhaps nowhere more tangible to visitors than in Cordoba. The Roman Bridge, along with scattered pillars and ramparts, testifies to the city's significance during Roman times. The Arab occupation ushered in its greatest prosperity, and for a time, Cordoba, with its vast library, was the largest city in the world. Today, Cordoba embodies the essence of Andalusia: white-washed houses line narrow streets, concealing serene patios, and the strains of cante jondo, a vocal style in flamenco, still echo from time to time. Most of the sights and monuments are concentrated in the Juderia, a maze of narrow, winding streets that was once the city's Jewish quarter. This area lies between the Plaza de las Tendillas, Cordoba's main square, and the River Guadalquivir. Here, visitors will find the city's symbol, The Mezquita, or Great Mosque, a mystical wonder; an airy forest of 850 marble, alabaster, and stone pillars supports the 425 striped double-decker arches. From the tower, visitors can clearly see how the 13th-century conversion into a cathedral resulted in an incongruous juxtaposition of styles. The Jewish quarter is great for tapas and bar-hopping; while you're at it, try a light, dry fino or a sweet Pedro Ximenez, the most famous local wines. Córdoba offers plenty of reasons to visit. This city invites you to dream: just wander through its convoluted alleys, and you'll realize you're in a unique place. Don't miss the sunset from the Roman Bridge over the Guadalquivir River. After that, you won't want to go to sleep.

About the destination: Seville has a unique charm, this vibrant city is filled with enchanting traditional architecture in hues of lemons, plums, and oranges. The Guadalquivir River flows roughly from north to south through Seville. The majority of the city, including the historic district of Barrio de Santa Cruz, is located on the east bank, while the Barrio de Triana is situated on the west bank. At midnight, spontaneous singing, clapping, and guitar playing fill the bars and streets. During the day, the city's diverse heritage becomes evident. The Romans, Moors, Catholic Spaniards, and now, throngs of tourists have all attempted to claim Seville as their own. Indeed, Seville has always managed to ignite the imagination of newcomers. From the outside, the cathedral may not seem impressive; you must enter to truly grasp its size. Huge pillars support the vaulted ceiling, and the abundance of treasure is unbelievably magnificent. Another major attraction of the city is La Giralda, which was the minaret of the Almohad mosque. From the top, there's a spectacular view of the city across the spiked spires and buttresses of the roof. La Torre del Oro, a symbol of the city, originally covered in golden tiles, has been standing guard over the town since 1220. Seville at night is magical, everything takes on a mystical aura that can mesmerize and if you know how to experience it, you will be captivated by its charm.

About the destination: Cádiz is located in southern Spain, in the region of Andalusia. Its coastline is part of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) and features numerous golden sandy beaches, ranging from urban beaches to extensive, practically unspoiled stretches of sand. Inland, the popular White Villages Route is highly recommended. The city hosts three festivals of International Tourist Interest: the prestigious Carnival of Cadiz, the unique horse racing events on the beach at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and the elegant Horse Fair in Jerez de la Frontera. Part of the province also lies within the Doñana National Park, and there are five other nature reserves in Cádiz's exceptional natural environment. Cádiz is also known for its delicious gastronomy, particularly its “pescaíto frito” (perfectly-fried platters of assorted fresh fish) and shellfish, ideally accompanied by the wines found on the Wine and Brandy routes in the Marco de Jerez region.
