About this trip

The South of Spain, or “Andalucía”, is the birthplace of bull fighting and flamenco dance. It is also home to the “Costa del Sol”, the Spanish equivalent of the French Riviera, resplendent with beautiful stretches of beach and gorgeous resorts. And, this being Spain, it goes without saying that the region boasts outstanding food and wine.


But wait, there’s more! The South of Spain has a unique past that makes its towns and sights particularly noteworthy. Andalucía was under Moorish (Islamic Arab) rule from the 8th to the 15th centuries. This legacy reveals itself predominantly in the region’s architecture, including such UNESCO World Heritage listed landmarks as the Alcázar castle in Seville, Córdoba’s Mezquita Mosque-Cathedral and the magnificent Alhambra palace in Granada.


We’ll visit six of Andalucía’s most beautiful cities and its most famous sights. If you love good food and wine, are captivated by beautiful art and architecture, and can’t wait to immerse yourself in a fiery, passionate culture, all of this awaits you in the sumptuous, sultry South of Spain!

For my second visit to The Sea Garden, it did not disappoint. Friendly staff, nice weather provided beautiful views. It like the convenience it offers with proximity to restaurants, convenience market, pharmacy and excursions. Rhythm of the Night show always is a grand hit! Ventured to Busarias for another city day trip exploration, with a cute artistic community and cozy boutiques for retail therapy. Tamara and Doug, our gracious hosts, and were available for any support or much appreciated recommendations.

What a fabulous experience at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta! This resort is just stunning--you are surrounded by pristine, gorgeous tropical nature, and there are so many walking paths to explore, not to mention walking all along the beach shore. The food is delicious with so many choices for your taste buds and budget. The staff are kind and warmhearted. Tamara made it an easy, no-brainer yes to go on this Mexican winter getaway. She's a true professional and gem of a human being who made the trip such a pleasurable experience for my husband and me. Thank you so much!! We look forward to joining you again on another fabulous journey.
