In this masterly guide, Michael Jacobs casts a fresh eye on all the traditional delights of Andalucía while doing full justice to the lesser-known aspects of the region. He explores its extraordinarily varied landscape, its food and drink, its musical and literary heritage, and the Spanish Civil War. Andalucía’s Moorish remains, its outstanding prehistoric and classical heritage, and its exuberant Renaissance and Baroque monuments make it one of the richest regions in Europe for visitors. Nearly a hundred Andalucían villages and towns are described in the gazetteer, some of which—Seville, Granada, Córdoba, and Cádiz—are as lovely and as haunting as anywhere in the world.
