Blooming Andalusia

Palaces, tapas & flamenco

12 February - 21 February 2027

Andalusia for all the senses! When the almond trees are in full bloom in spring, southern Spain reveals its very own magic. Perfectly located accommodations and the expert guidance of a tour guide who has been sharing Andalusia’s history and treasures with passion for many years make this journey a truly immersive experience. Discover the magnificent Moorish palaces of the Alhambra, the impressive Mezquita of Córdoba and the vibrant atmosphere of Seville. Stroll through flower-filled streets, enjoy the passionate rhythms of flamenco and immerse yourself in the history of a region that has shaped Europe for centuries. In Málaga, encounter the works of Picasso, while Granada and Córdoba reveal the masterpieces of the Abbasid and Nasrid dynasties. In Seville, visit the tomb of Christopher Columbus and admire modern architecture, while in Ronda you will discover traditions and stories surrounding bullfighting.

But Andalusia does not only speak to the soul — it also delights the senses: taste sweet Málaga wine, high-quality olive oil, artisan cheeses and sun-ripened citrus fruits. Explore traditional bodegas, charming taverns and experience the warm hospitality of the locals.
