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.
