What"s on in Andalusia in 2014?

106 16
Andalusia is Spain's most popular region, with Malaga airport providing an excellent arrival point for visiting the cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba, as well as the beaches of the Costa del Sol. 

Andalusia has exciting events all year round. Semana Santa (Spain's version of Easter) is at its most flamboyant in the south of Spain. Seville and Malaga both have excellent street parties. And there's numerous flamenco festivals throughout the year.

 

So even if the weather is gloomy (it can happen!) and the beaches are empty, Andalusia will still have plenty to do in 2014.
