First time in Andalusia and fell in love !

First four photos are from Seville, the next four are Granada, and the last three are Cádiz.

My girlfriend and I flew into Madrid, spent one night there, and then went to Granada for three nights.

In Granada we toured the Alhambra, which was incredible. I also highly recommend Hammam Al Andalus, an Arab-style bathhouse that ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Another great experience was seeing a flamenco show in one of the caves in the Sacromonte neighborhood, which felt really unique to Granada.

After Granada we moved on to Seville for four nights. Seville felt incredibly romantic and quite grand tbh. The Alcázar has stunning Moorish architecture, and the dome in picture 3 is a good example of that style. We also really enjoyed walking and biking along the river, which I didn’t capture in these photos. There’s definitely enough to do in Seville to spend three to five nights comfortably.

We also wanted some beach time, so we did a day trip to Cádiz, since it’s one of the closer coastal options from Seville. Cádiz felt quieter and slower compared to Seville, but relaxing on the beach and walking in the water felt amazing after days of exploring medieval cities.

Overall it was an incredibly romantic trip with my girlfriend. She even said it felt like a honeymoon, which I honestly agree with!

Also worth mentioning is the high-speed rail between Seville and Madrid is fantastic. It cuts what would be about a 6-hour drive down to roughly 2.5 hours and the train ride is very comfortable.

If I return to Andalusia I’d love to explore Ronda, Córdoba, and Málaga, which we chose to skip this time so we could experience Seville and Granada more thoroughly.

Happy to answer any questions!
