Andalucia is the southern most region of Spain. Andalucia
receives an average of 3000 hours of sun per year. With nearly
900km of coast line, Andalucia has many golden beaches and
wonderful holiday destinations.
A region of contrasts, Andalucia has the full spectrum of
landscapes, from the warm Guadalquivir valley, to leafy low
mountain areas, from volcanic landscapes such as the Tabernas to
the white peaks of Sierra Nevada.
Andalusia is one of the warmest regions of Europe. It has a
temperate, Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild
winters with irregular rainfall. If there is one feature
characteristic of the Andalusian environment, it is the light, a
direct result of the great number of hours of sunlight, which
marks the cheerful nature and hospitality of the Andalusian
people.
There is a wide range of sports facilities in Andalusia.
Sierra Nevada (Granada) is Europe´s southernmost ski
resort. The Costa del Sol boasts the highest density of
golf courses in Europe, many designed by celebrities
such as Gary Player or Severiano Ballesteros, among
others.
There is also an abundance of well equipped public and
private tennis courts. Those with equestrian interests
will find Andalusia a paradise in which they can enjoy
riding lessons or open air excursions. To this list, we
can add facilities for high-risk sports such as
potholing or mountaineering and aerial sports, with the
latest in hang gliding, parasailing, flying ultra-light
aircraft and ballooning. Motorcycling and motor racing
fans will enjoy the international competitions held at
the Jerez race track.
The wonderful beaches on the coast offer a huge range of
water sports, such as sailing, wind-surfing and diving
in the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Alternatively, you can just relax on a sandy beach,
soaking up all that sunshine..... |
