Hotels in Andalucía, Spain

Andalucía sprawls across southern Spain, basking in a Mediterranean climate with over 300 sunny days a year-summers hit 95°F (35°C) and winters rarely dip below 50°F (10°C). It's world-famous for flamenco, born from Romani, Moorish, and Andalusian roots, and for sherry production in Jerez's bodegas. In cooler spring, hike the Sierra Nevada's 11,000-foot peaks or wander Seville's Alcázar, a 14th-century palace with intricate Mudéjar tilework; come summer, head to Costa del Sol's 100 miles of beaches for windsurfing in the Mediterranean, or explore the white-washed hill towns of Ronda and its 18th-century bridge spanning a 390-foot gorge.
