For a break away from your beach resort in Malaga, there are many other areas within Andalusia to delve into and discover. In each of Andalusia’s eight provinces there are great places to gain rich experiences regarding Spanish culture; from the capital of Seville to flamenco dancing and charming sights.  These are just a few reasons why car hire in Malaga is popular option for tourists to discover the wider region of Andalusia.  Read more to find out what you can discover by car.

Lanjaron

An hour and a half along the A7 will bring you to the spa town of Lanjaron which is closely situated to the Sierra Nevada National Park. This town offers tourists a view over the mountainous scenery and lush green landscape. An attraction which many tourists enjoy is the discovery of the pure spring water which runs through the town. Alongside the area’s sublime nature, the Parque el Salado offers tourists a place to relax alongside the town’s brook and under the shade of its many eucalyptus trees.

This is also a place to visit if you desire to find some unspoilt Spanish culture. Whilst locals are pleasant to tourists, they are adamant about keeping and maintaining their cultural identity and Alpujarran tradition. This is something which tourists can enjoy, from the typical Spanish cuisine to the whitewash Alpujarran houses.

Jerez

Another unspoilt area around Malaga is Jerez which offers the few tourists which visit the village an intensely Andalusian experience. A great way to spend your time is strolling around the sherry houses and there rolling greens surroundings.  Other traditional activities to enjoy are the daily occurrences of flamenco dancing (which was founded in Jerez and Seville) alongside the dancing white horses from the Andalusian Equestrian Arts School.

Although the area is not a destination which many tourists visit, this is only due to the past lack of hotels and limited travel to the area. However due the 2002 Equestrian Games, the Jerez has been growing, yet still maintains its traditional Spanish roots.

The Capital City: Seville

The bustling capital offers tourists a copious amount of activities and attractions for cultural visits. The popular tourist area of Santa Cruz can be best explored on foot; this enables you to discover the traditional cobbled alleyways and backstreets as well as soak up the Spanish architecture and way-of-living.

Another recognisable landmark is the Torre del Oro which dominates the skyline and whose gold exterior is illuminated by lights at night. On Tuesday, the tower opens its doors to tourists and also is host to a small museum.

At the heart of Seville, is the love and tradition of Flamenco dancing. You can learn to dance at Taller Flamenco or just enjoy watching the dancing in the area of La Macarena. Barrio Santa Cruz, in the old Jewish quarter, also hosts many flamenco shows for tourists to enjoy.

Granada

Another popular place for tourists to visit is Granada; one of its greatest tourist spots is the Alhambra. This exceptionally sized castle has been added to over the centuries creating a breathtaking exterior alongside its exotic gardens and opulent interiors within the palaces. Alongside this pleasurable experience, tourists an also enjoy views of the mountainous range which surround the palace.

There is more historical intensity within Granada in the old Arabic quarter, here tourists can explore the cobbled alleyways and white washed buildings. The squares which are dotted throughout offer tourists places to eat as well as stroll along the traditional shopping areas which sell Granadino pottery.

If you desire to escape Malaga for a few days there are a range of cultural experiences for you to enjoy; there are popular tourist areas rich in monuments and architecture alongside quieter retreats which retain their Spanish cultures and traditions in visually stunning backdrops. Whichever trip you desire, the areas surrounding Malaga can satisfy your cultural needs.

If you’re a fan of theme parks then one you will want to check out whilst on holiday is Terra Mitica. This theme park is themed after different areas of the Mediterranean and features some truly thrilling rides.

You can easily get to Terra Mitica from Benidorm. You can also visit from your villa in Moraira or Javea, which will take you 30 minutes and 45 minutes respectively by car.

Visiting the Aitana Safari Park is a fun day out and you can see all manner of wildlife including zebra, lions and giraffes. Situated in the Aitana mountain range there is a trail laid out for you to follow at your leisure and enjoy the wonderful scenery and beautiful animals. Vergel Safari Park is another great safari park worth visiting on your travels in Spain.

For people that like a bit of exploring and adventure the Cuevas del Canelobra or Candelabra Cave is worth going to. A massive cavern 150 meters in length the caves have many stalactites and stalagmites giving the cave its name.

One of the highlights of a visit to the Costa Blanca has to be seeing dolphins at Mundomar a Marine and Exotic Animal Park. Situated close to Moraira and Javea the Exotic Animal Park is easy to get to.

In terms of where to stay when you visit the Costa Blanca one popular town located on the coast is Moraira. It is worth search for luxury villas Spain to get a good idea of what is available and to see some Spanish villa images.

5. Starting in Central America El Salvador offers some great surfing locations. The reason that El Salvador is so popular is because it is usually less crowded than other famous surfing destinations. However be warned that El Salvador’s popularity is on the rise, so it may not be long until every surfing enthusiast is taking a trip down to the best surf spot of Sunzal, El Zonte and La Libertad. You will get the best swell during the rainy season between March and October.

4. Costa Rica has always been a very popular tourist destination in Central America. But now more than ever surfers are packing up their Billabong clothes and coming to the jewel of Central America for surfing rather than sightseeing. There are waves all year round on both coasts of the country, which are most suited to the more experienced surfer.

3. If you’re in America and want to surf the best locations are along the coast of California. Of course California is a well populated state and you can expect to find most surf spots packed nearly all year round. One thing to bear in mind is that the water is relatively cold for most of the year except in the height of summer around July and August.

2. Bali is a legendary destination not only for its surfing but also its natural beauty. An island Bali is the biggest tourist attraction in Indonesia. There are decent swells of around 12ft for most of the year between April and November but expect to get hassled by people trying to sell you souvenirs and trinkets.

1. Down in Australia, the home of Roxy surf clothing, you will encounter the luscious sandy beaches of the Gold Coast. The famous 70kms worth of beaches make this a true surfer’s paradise. The top spots to visit include Mermaid Beach, Narrowneck, The Spit and Palm Beach.

1. Number one on the list is perhaps unsurprisingly Afghanistan. Now I don’t suppose many people are planning a summer holiday to Afghanistan and for good reason. Most of you will already know that Afghanistan is in a state of war and you will find the roads and land riddled with landmines. Bombings occur often and are most prone at or near embassies, making this a poor destination choice for anyone visiting.
2. In Venezuela your biggest enemy will be the man at the top Hugo Chavez. Venezuela’s leader has no problem when it comes to expressing his hate for almost any other country and this of course has an effect on the locals. Just being a foreigner in this country will put you at risk.
3. Iraq like Afghanistan is full of violence at this current moment in time. Rebel forces are still active throughout much of the country and road side killings are a daily event.
4. Haiti has always been an unorganised and dangerous country even without the recent and deadly earthquake. One of the biggest dangers that are faced in Haiti is the chance that you will be kidnapped. Haiti has the highest rate of kidnappings in the world and there is no discrimination when it comes to the victims of this crime. Now with the earthquake people are is a state of desperation and anyone who isn’t will be singled out.
5. Somalia has always been a very dangerous country. The rebel groups are not afraid to attack military forces in Somalia and the pirates who patrol the waters have been known to take people from any country hostage.
