Andalucía and Costa del Sol : DK Travel

The diverse and politically semi-autonomous region of Andalucía has a population of some 7 million and embodies what is thought of as typically Spanish – an accurate portrait of the place and its people must include the bullfight, flamenco, gypsies, remote white villages, high sierras and mass tourism on endless stretches of beach. The memories you take with you after a visit here will be colourful, joyous, intense and deeply stirring.

Hotel Meliá Córdoba

Right in the middle of the Jardines de la Victoria, this highrise is certainly convenient and luxurious, if a bit soulless. The big advantage is off-street parking for those travelling by car.
Hotel Murillo

Named after the artist who called this area home, this family-run place does, indeed, have a homey feel. Facilities are a bit cramped and the rooms basic, but it’s comfortable.
Hotel Palacete Santa Ana, Baeza

This hotel occupies a 16th-century palace, beautifully restored and set off with priceless antiques and paintings.
Hotel Paraíso del Mar, Nerja

This hotel enjoys a view of the coast. Rooms facing the mountains are generally larger or with a Jacuzzi to compensate.
Hotel Playa Victoria, Cádiz

A highrise hotel with a swimming pool over the beach. It’s in the new city, but it’s a pleasant walk to the old town.
Hotel Porfirio

Hotel Porfirio is a short walk from Zahara beach, with an excellent traditional restaurant; family rooms from £115
Hotel Posada de Vallina, Córdoba

The hotel is located facing the southern wall of La Mezquita, in an old converted mansion. According to archaeologists, the site dates back to Roman times. The rooms are all relatively spacious, if simple, and there’s an excellent restaurant featuring local dishes.
Hotel Reina Cristina

Everything has been kept more or less the same as when the poet Garcia Lorca was forced to hide out here – this is the last place the poet stayed, before his untimely end (see Federico García Lorca). Each room has unique style and there are patios and fountains in the public areas.
Hotel Riu Canela, Isla Canela

A vast resort offering every facility you can think of amid its gardens and neo-Moorish splendours, including several swimming pools, one for children, and a playground.
Hotel Room Mate Lola

A wonderful boutique hotel in central Malaga close to the Bus and Train Stations and the main shopping areas.

The reception lobby and breakfast room are very tastefully decorated in a contemporary and trendy style, there is also a relaxation area with couches for reading and free internet access.

The rooms are well appointed with avant-garde design, and there can be no confusion regarding your room number, as the hotel room doors are fitted with large metallic numbers which cover the entire door surface!

Each stay is a truly unique experience!
