Moorish palaces, white villages, flowered patios and tapas: Andalusia packs the best of southern Spain. This ten-day itinerary links its three great cities and its landscapes.
Itinerary: cities and white villages in 10 days
- Days 1 to 3: Seville: the Alcázar, the cathedral and the Giralda, the Santa Cruz quarter
- Day 4: Córdoba and its Mosque-Cathedral
- Days 5 and 6: Granada: the Alhambra, the Albaicín and Sacromonte
- Day 7: The white villages, on the road to Ronda
- Day 8: Ronda and its gorge
- Days 9 and 10: Cádiz and the Atlantic coast, then back to Seville
When to go
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal. Summer is very hot inland, especially in Seville and Córdoba. Winter is mild and quiet, handy for sightseeing.
Getting around
A car is the most practical for the white villages and Ronda. Between Seville, Córdoba and Granada, trains and buses work well. In town, leave the car: old centres are narrow and often reserved for residents.
Our tips
- Book Alhambra tickets well in advance
- In summer, visit early in the morning and late in the day, and take a siesta like the locals
- Choose accommodation with parking in the big cities
- Dine late, on Spanish time
