Seville and the white villages of Andalusia

An itinerary to discover Seville, the beautiful Andalusian capital that will make you feel alive, as well as the pueblos blancos, those typical and authentic villages with rich traditions.

Séville et les villages blancs d'Andalousie

This dense territory offers a multitude of landscapes and riches that allow its inhabitants and the many visitors to passionately love Andalusia. When we talk about Andalusia, we obviously think of its art cities – true architectural jewels and witnesses of History –, tapas and flamenco, the Mediterranean coast that bathes Andalusia, making it the sunniest region in Spain. But it is also a land of nature, with landscapes unique in Europe, a gastronomic tradition, and a whole art of living. From Seville, the Andalusian capital, to the white villages known by the Spanish name pueblos blancos, we wish, through this stay, to help you discover a part of Andalusia that, we are sure, will delight you.
