Culture and Nature in Andalusia
White Villages in Pretty Mountainscapes With Unspoilt Nature
Andalusia has plenty to offer for a month-long tour. So it is a big challenge to see the highlights in just a week and find a balance between culture and nature. We explore the south-west of the province from two operating bases: Antequera (north of Malaga) and Montellano (south of Sevilla). We visit Granada and Sevilla, and also Ronda, El Torcal and a series of white villages. 20 photos.

City trip Granada
Alhambra, Generalife and Albaicín
The Moorish palaces of the Alhambra and Generalife all by themselves are reason enough to spend a few days in Granada. But this city has more to offer, like the largest Moorish Quarter in Spain. It also is a lively university city with lots of squares with outdoor cafés. 14 photos.

The Moorish Heritage of Andalusia
Biking in the mountains of al-Andalus
The Moorish heritage of Andalusia is not just the Mezquita in Córdoba or the Alhambra in Granada. It also includes the white villages with Moorish quarters and fortresses, which lay scattered between countless olive groves and wild mountains with spectacular canyons. Biking there, you also get to see a lot of Baroque buildings as well as religious processions. 20 photos.

La Gomera, the magical island
Over 50 ravines cut through the green island
La Gomera is an oasis of quiet in stunning natural surroundings. No mass tourism here, no high-rise buildings. Small villages with easy-going inhabitants, potters, fishermen and banana growers. Beautiful views of the ocean, terraced hillsides, mountains and ravines cutting through them. At the center of the island is an ancient, foggy rainforest. La Gomera is a magical island, perfect for hiking. 21 photos.

Hiking Vacation La Palma
A Volcanic Landscape with Greenhouses and Water Reservoirs
Hiking La Palma's many trails, it's immediately obvious how important fresh water is here: the volcanic landscape is covered with many water pipes and dotted with lots of water reservoirs. Santa Cruz de la Palma with its beautiful patios and Los Llanos de Aridane are visited, but the main activity is hiking around Tijarafe in the quiet western part of the island. Along gorges, plastic greenhouses and numerous observation points. Cactuses, palm trees, parrot's beaks and almond trees are blossoming. 31 photos.

City trip Madrid
Streets, bars and outdoor cafés get crowded in the evening
Madrid is an interesting city, with stately avenues, beautiful squares, pretty and impressive buildings, working class neighborhoods with winding streets full of traditional taverns and typical stores, indoor markets and of course the Prado. But Madrid only comes to life after the heat disappears late at night. Then the streets, outdoor cafés and bars get crowded. 22 photos.

Crossing the Pyrenees from coast to coast
Crossing the Pyrenees from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean: 900 kilometers, 14,500 meters of climbing and 30 mountain passes.

City trip Valencia
From old city gates and churches to futuristic museums
Valencia is a city bursting with highlights: from the churches, towers and city gates to the bullfight arena, indoor market and botanical garden. The weekly water courts still meet, after a thousand years of doing so. But Valencia also is a lively city with city beaches, an exciting nightlife and futuristic museums in the City of Art and Science. 41 photos.
