“Málaga is a city full of culture and tradition“

What do you enjoy most in your job with TUI in Spain?

The feeling you get when you know you’re responsible for great experiences that guests enjoy when they join one of our excursions in this rich and varied area known as Andalusia.

What is special about Andalusia?

Basically, there really is something for everyone. You visit various famous places and typical white villages along the coast such as Mijas, Marbella, Puerto Banús or Nerja and also the cultural cities like Málaga, Seville, Granada and Cordoba. You can even visit Morocco for a day or go to Gibraltar. Andalusia is perfect for nature lovers and walkers as well. There are spectacular natural areas, like the Guadalhorce Valley or El Torcal which is a must-see because of its incredible karstic rock formations. Recently, we’ve made international headlines with the opening of the Caminito del Rey, a walkway suspended on the side of a spectacular gorge.

Which beach would you recommend in Andalusia? 

Cabopino beach between Fuengirola and Marbella, is a well preserved sand dune area with shallow waters, with a brand new boardwalk if you just want to take a walk between Mediterranean pine trees next to the sea. Personally, I love to snorkel at the El Carabeo beach in Nerja or rent a Kayak at Playa Burriana to get to the crystal clear waters of Maro.

What local food should visitors try in Andalusia?

The area is well known for the Espeto de Sardinas which are sardines that are grilled with sea salt over an open fire, seen all over the coast in the beach side restaurants called Chiringuitos. They also specialize in all kinds of fried fish called Pescaíto Frito.

What is the best experience in your region that no visitor should miss?

I highly recommend a visit to the romantic town of Ronda. It’s the perfect combination of local culture, history and nature. The town is situated in the mountains, surrounded by white villages in stunning scenery. The valleys around Ronda are known for their high-quality wines. The town is split by a spectacular gorge but both parts are united by an impressive historic bridge. Ronda also boasts a historic bullring and lots of beautiful medieval buildings.
