Andalusia is the south of Spain, with heat, sun and a lot of history. For almost eight centuries, between 711 and 1492, a large part of the region belonged to Al-Andalus, the Muslim territory. The Alhambra of Granada and the Mosque of Córdoba come from that time. Flamenco was also born here.
La región es grande y no todas sus ciudades son iguales. En Sevilla puedes pasear junto al Guadalquivir; en Granada, recorrer calles con muchas cuestas. Para viajar, conviene mirar las distancias y no intentar visitar todo en un día. El acento también puede cambiar de una ciudad a otra.
The region is large, and its cities differ. In Seville you can walk beside the Guadalquivir; in Granada, through streets with many slopes. When planning a trip, check the distances rather than trying to see everything in one day. Accents can also vary between cities.
