Hola!
Welcome to Alison in Andalucia. I’m Alison and, as you can probably guess, I live in Andalucia in southern Spain.
I made Andalucia my home in 2017 and started this blog to help others discover all the wonderful things that this part of Spain has to offer.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year it’s safe to say that Andalucia really does have something for everyone, whether you love spending time in the mountains or on the beach, enjoy the atmosphere of a city, or prefer to chill out in one of the many beautiful ‘pueblos blancos’ (white villages).
And let’s not forget the food. There’s so much more to Spanish food than paella, and Andalucia has some delicious specialities of its own to cater for all tastes from vegetarians through to committed carnivores.
I hope my blog will inspire you to visit this beautiful part of Spain. Whether you’re looking for information on day trips or longer holidays, off the beaten track gems, or the popular cities of Seville, Granada and Malaga come and explore Andalucia with me.
