In June 2024, I flew to southern Spain, rented a car, and spent a week exploring Andalusia. My journey took me through some of the region’s most captivating cities and landscapes.

Starting in Granada, I visited the Alhambra and wandered through the Albaicín district. The next stop was Cordoba, where I was impressed by the Mezquita’s unique blend of architectural styles.

Sevilla offered vibrant sights such as Plaza de España and the Seville Cathedral. In Cadiz, I enjoyed the coastal scenery and the historic charm of the old town.

Ronda’s dramatic cliffs and the Puente Nuevo bridge were an absolute highlight, while Gibraltar provided a mix of British and Spanish influences with remarkable views from the Rock of Gibraltar. Marbella’s beaches and lively nightlife added a touch of relaxation and excitement to the trip.

A standout experience was hiking the Caminito del Rey, a pathway through narrow gorges with stunning vistas.
