Benalmádena, Malaga.
Situated between two seas and two continents, Andalucia
is the largest of Spain´s natural regions and the one with the
highest population. The region is widely and richly varied,
including the Sierra Morena, the Guadalquivir Valley and the
Betica Ranges. The climate, as varied as its geographical
features, is Mediterranean, with mild winters and dry summers:
The millenarian history of Andalusia has produced an inmense
artistic legacy. The Alhambra in Granada, the Mosque in Cordoba
of the Giralda and the historic quarter of Seville are
Humanity’s monumental landmarks. However in the vast majority of
its cities and towns we can find representations of the finest
moments of the Andalusian artistic life throughout time. |
