White Villages of Andalucia Walk

All meals

Andalucía’s base their cuisine on traditional fresh fayre.  Onions, tomatoes and peppers feature liberally, simply cooked in olive oil and served as a starter seasoned with local herbs and accompanied by good fresh bread.  Dinner often consists of Fish (pescado) or meat (carne) served grilled or deep-fried in olive oil.  A good alternative for vegetarians is ensalada de garbanzos y tomate - a delicious salad of chickpea and tomatoes.  Local specialities depend on the region: in the mountains, you’ll be offered delicious hams and game, down by the coast seafood will be more prominent.

Tapas was invented in this region and several different mini snacks can make a cheap, fun way to try the various dishes on offer.  If you want larger portions, ask for ‘raciones’.  Seville is the best place to tapear - tour the many bars sampling their tapas!

The Finca el Cerrillo is an absolute gem of a place to stay. There are 13 individually styled en-suite rooms. The living areas include a wonderfully atmospheric beamed lounge - cool in summer and kept cosy on winter nights with a blazing log fire, dining room, small library and 'honesty' bar. The terraced gardens, with 100-year-old carob and palm trees, surround both sunny and shaded patios with comfy seating areas. The pool affords stunning views of the valley below and the pretty Moorish village of Archez with its 13th century Moorish tower.
