A journey reportage of my staying in Andalusia during September 2011. Among the visited cities: Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Bubion, Pampaneira (Sierra Nevada), Ronda, Malaga.

Andalusia is the southernmost region of Spain. It lies immediately south of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha; from west to east, it extends from the Portugal border to the Mediterranean coast, encompassing the Strait of Gibraltar.

The name “Andalusia” is derived from the Arabic word “Al-Andalus”, whose origin and meaning is still disputed. The Moorish influence is still vivid and strong throughout the region.

Famous mainly for bullfighting, flamenco, marvellous beaches and its scorching temperatures, Andalusia is currently the fourth touristic destination in Spain.

Reportage di viaggio del mio soggiorno in Andalusia a Settembre 2011. Fra le città visitate: Siviglia, Cordoba, Granada, Bubion, Pampaneira (Sierra Nevada), Ronda, Malaga.

Andalusia e’ la regione piu’ meridionale della Spagna. Situata immediatamente a sud delle province di Extremadura e Castilla-La Mancha, si estende dal confine col Portogallo a ovest fino alla costa mediterranea ad est, comprendendo lo Stretto di Gibiliterra nella sua estremita’ piu’ meridionale.

Il nome “Andalusia” proviene dalla parola Arabica “Al-Andalus”, sulla cui origine e significato gli studiosi ancora si interrogano. L’influenza Moresca e’ tuttora assai diffusa e vivida in tutta la regione.

Famosa soprattutto per corride, flamenco, spiagge meravigliose e clima torrido, Andalusia e’ attualmente la quarta destinazione turistica per importanza in Spagna.
