Your perfect Spanish holiday villa… in Andalucia
T
he Luxury Villa Collection is a selection of curated, inspected and truly beautiful villas in
Spain. Stay in traditional farmhouses, beachside mansions and country estates steeped in history while discovering more of Spain. As a base, these villas go a long way towards helping guests to get underneath the skin of this fascinating country. Te coastline of Andalucia in
southern Spain is well-known for the languid, laid-back lifestyle it offers. But looking away from the coast, there’s another side of Andalucia that fewer people know — one of moun- tains, culture, and adventure. To help create this experience
of ‘real’ Spain, it’s best to get local experts involved. Te Luxury Villa Collection’s pre-arrival itinerary plan- ning service ensures you’ll enjoy your villa rental exactly how you like it. So,
what do this mean? Well, to complete a trip, some of the exciting experi- ences recommended include discovering Andalucian cities through their cuisine: a gourmet tapas tour in one of the cities of Malaga, Seville, Cadiz, or Granada should do the trick. Learn about the finest of pork products, olive oil, seafood, cheese, and wine. Guests are encour- aged to adapt their routines to the slower pace of southern Spain, where lunch can sprawl throughout much of the afternoon. Te Luxury Villa Collection

round is pleasant, although during summer months a refreshing dip is needed, and in winter a cosy fire for the evenings — and a heated pool — doesn’t go amiss. Villa concierge services including private chefs, and cooks can be organised, as well as guides to local events and festivities
such as Holy Week, the Tree Kings, ferias and flamenco. Once holiday mode has kicked in,
it’s time to get active. Te Caminito del Rey is an incredible day out; it’s an easy, five-mile cliff-hanging stroll, but the 345ft-high walkways aren’t for everyone. If heights aren’t appealing, then hire a yacht with toys — water skiing, wakeboarding, donuts, jet skiing or seabobs. Head out into the Mediterranean and mix a day of adrenaline with dolphin-watching before finishing with a sunset supper on board. To get into the mountains — and
more watersports fun — go canyoning in Guadalmina near Marbella or the beautiful Rio Verde in Granada. Or if more adventure is needed, then the Cathedral of Canyons in the Natural Park of Los Alcornocales is one not to be missed.
When the nature, gastronomy, and
culture of Andalucia have tired even the most energetic traveller, retreat to the villa in exquisite surroundings and create memories with loved ones.
