Great Holidays Start With Cheap Flights

[Olga Russell]

After stepping off of cheap flights to Andalusia tourists can roam
from historical tours of the old Moorish sites of Al-Andalus to the
sunshine resorts of Malaga.
For many people, cheap flights to Spain are all about the Costa del
Sol or the teeming city life of Barcelona, but an area as large as the
Iberian Peninsula has a lot more to surprise the visitor.
The south western region of Andalusia is made up of eight provinces:
Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaen, Malaga, and Seville.
Unsurprisingly, for an area so close to North Africa, the climate is
warm and sunny for most of the year, becoming especially hot in the
summer months.
This is a major attraction to people considering when to book cheap
flights to Andalusia. The warm weather begins as early as March and
holds up right through to November. Even the winters are mild, if
rainy.
The region itself is steeped in history. It was the site for Rome's
epic war with Hannibal and Carthage and boasts many remains from the
classical period.
In 711-718 AD, the Umayyad Caliphate invaded from Morocco, and gave
the region the name from which Andalusia is derived - Al-Andalus.
During the next 800 years of Muslim rule it became a centre of
learning, commerce and architecture.
Indeed, it is the stunning architectural wonders which draw visitors
to this day. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Alhambra - a
vast, sumptuous palace and fortress complex which overlooks the city
of Granada.
Other wonders of Moorish architecture include the stunning Mesquita
mosque and cathedral in Cordoba and Seville's twin delights - the
Alcazar palace and the nearby Giralda cathedral.
The major cities of Andalusia are packed with bars and restaurants -
many of which combine delicious tapas with very reasonable prices.
Seville is famed as the birthplace of flamenco, and is proud to offer
culture vultures a wide choice of venues to hear the music and witness
the frenetic dancing.
Although a far cry from the packed resorts of the Costa del Sol, the
region has scores of quiet coastal resorts for those who wish to bask
in the Andalusian sun and swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean
and the Atlantic.
Just a few hours' drive further north takes the traveller into the
mountains, with traditional whitewashed villages, spectacular scenery
and opportunities for hiking, cycling, bird watching and even skiing,
in the resorts of the Sierra Nevada.
A holiday in Andalusia is a great way to combine the culture of Europe
with the sunshine of the tropics and outdoor activities. Cheap flights
to Andalusia are abundant online and there are some great package
holidays out there too.
