• Malaga The perfect getaway on the Costa del Sol: infinity pool art and caviar

  • Luxury This is the five-star hotel within the first golf course in Almería

The South always wants.

For this reason, here are five plans to make the most of it from Tarifa to Almería, passing through the Sierra de Grazalema or La Herradura beach, in Granada.

Rate for surfers (or not)

Cádiz is sun, nature, history, tuna and waves.

Tell that to the addicts of Tarifa, with countless nearby beaches to go surfing, windsurfing or kitesurfing, such as Los Lances (both north and south),

Punta Paloma, Playa Chica, Playa del Alemán

, Bolonia... And that the rest of Andalusia is not far behind with outstanding spots on the Costa Tropical, la de la Luz, la del Sol or Almería.

Back in Tarifa, you have to take a walk through the center to taste

tuna in all its variants

: sirloin, tartar, tataki, mojama, tacos or even meatballs.

An excellent place to do so is

La Taberna del Melli,

captained with great art by Juani Hernández and Ramón Cárdenas in front of the fishing port (calle Mayor Juan Núñez, local 6).

is the

new location

of its culinary offspring after staying 25 years in the heart of the old town.

Hence, it is one of the most famous and beloved hotel couples in Tarifa.

Cured meats, cheeses, preserves and their coveted

montaditos de cristal bread

(called bomba) complete the menu.

They also have a wine cellar and gourmet shop.

Almeria in full

It is time to enjoy the varied landscapes of Almeria.

From the Tabernas desert to the

Karst Natural Area

in Yesos de Sorbas, located on a meander embedded in the Aguas river, which overlooks its hanging houses.

From postcard beaches such as Los Muertos,

Mónsul, Peñón Blanco

or Los Genoveses, in Cabo de Gata, to the first golf course in Almería, designed by the famous South African player

Gary Player

in 1976 just five kilometers from

the Natural Park of Punta Entinas-Sabinar

.

This, the only 27-hole course in the province, is located within the AR Golf Almerimar hotel, a five-star hotel that combines sport with design, gastronomy and relaxation in its

wellness

centre .

Adventure in Grazalema

The interior of Cádiz hides countless treasures, between archaeological sites (from megalithic dolmens to

prehistoric caves

or Roman roads), eternal forests and beautiful white villages to get lost.

The name is due to the color of its characteristic whitewashed facades to keep out the heat.

The list includes some such as

Algodonales, Prado del Rey

, Olvera, Puerto Serrano, Algar, Benaocaz, Setenil de las Bodegas, Ubrique,

Zahara de la Sierra or Arcos de la Frontera

, to name just a few.

The latter, for example, has been declared

a Historic-Artistic Monument

as a whole.

Many of them run through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, the perfect setting for all kinds of outdoor activities such as routes on foot, horseback or mountain bike, caving,

rafting

, paragliding...

beaches for everyone

Andalusia has more than 800 kilometers of coastline, so it is easy to find a good place to walk along the seashore, swim, get on a jet ski or a

surfboard, dive

... There are wide beaches of fine sand ( those of Zahara de los Atunes, Poniente, Rodalquilar...), urban (such as Malagueta in Malaga or La Caleta, in Cádiz), caves of marine origin such as the Treasure, in

El Rincón de la Victoria in

Malaga .

and others small and hidden.

Among these, the nudists of Cantarriján in La Herradura (Granada) and La Viborilla in

Benalmádena

(Málaga) stand out.

to lick your fingers

Andalusia cannot be understood without its gastronomy, which has its roots in its Arab past.

You have to try its meat, its cheese, its wine, its sweets and, of course, the bluefin tuna that is fished on

the Cadiz coast

in the same way as since ancient times, with the almadraba.

It is a traditional technique in which

two barriers are used with nets

in which the fish are collected.

Only adults fit, so its sustainability is guaranteed.

The best almadraba tuna is tasted in places like

Barbate, Conil de la Frontera, Tarifa or Zahara de los Atunes

.

Tuna cannot be missed on a visit to Cádiz.
