While Málaga can sometimes be overshadowed in the modern travel zeitgeist, it is a true gem that is so much more than just the gateway to the Costa del Sol. Málaga offers a deep cultural landscape, a vibrant culinary scene and sun-soaked beaches. I first visited Málaga when I was studying abroad in Granada in 2012 and have loved every return visit since. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore a city that many tourists only pass through!

I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in this magical medieval city, and it truly captured my heart. Granada blends the rich Arabic influences from its history with the vibrant culture of southern Spain, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. Despite its small size, the city is packed with amazing food, fascinating history and a lively nightlife. Granada is a hidden gem, with a welcoming charm that makes you feel right at home. While Madrid and Barcelona often steal the spotlight, Granada is a must-visit destination that also serves as a perfect gateway to other cities in southern Spain.
An Ideal Trip to Spain: Focus on Andalusia

Spain fascinated me long before my spur-of-the-moment long weekend in Madrid. Where else could I see a Hieronymus Bosch masterpiece by day and Flamenco by night? Where else could I visit great monuments of Islam by day and take a walking tour of pork-based tapas by night? And where else could I immerse myself in a rooftop infinity pool atop a centuries-old spa overlooking one of the country’s most beautiful plazas?
Spain, of course.
Does Spain enchant you, as it does me? Elegant Madrid, magical Granada, breathtaking Cordoba, ancient Cadiz and gorgeous Seville await. All with rich history, food and wine and world-class hotels.
I have selected highlights of many trips to curate my ideal itinerary for Madrid and Andalusia. The large part of southern Spain, ruled for over 700 years by Moorish rulers who helped Christians, Jews and Muslims live peacefully together.
Madrid is the best point to start your trip to Spain. The beautiful Barajas Airport welcomes you, with its undulating ceilings resembling a bird in flight. Madrid is a cosmopolitan hub filled with art and culinary hot spots and welcomes visitors with open arms.
