However captivating they may be, Andalucia‘s cities are also gateway to vast stretches of relatively unspoilt and addictive interior

"K2T Wisata"
However captivating they may be, Andalucia‘s cities are also gateway to vast stretches of relatively unspoilt and addictive interior. Even there, between herds of bell-tinkling goats and pottery shops, a new sophistication is creeping in; many country cortijos are now the pastoral settings for some wonderful guesthouses and hotels. The terraced foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarras, which lie between Granada and Malaga, have in recent years lured waves of expatriates in search of rural bliss and idyll. Here, you will find goats, jamon, almonds and yoga classes belonging in tandem.
Another area experiencing a surge in popularity is Costa de la Luz, south of Cadiz and Jerez. This greener side of Andalucia boasts some stunning hilltop villages (Vejer de la Frontera being particularly entrancing), breathtaking sandy beaches and strong Atlantic winds – Tarifa, its southern tip, is one of Europe’s best windsurfing spots. Further west to the Portuguese border lies yet another surprise, the Donana National Park, where shifting sand dunes and riverside pastures nurture one of Spain’s riches wildlife populations.
And then there is eastern Andalucia between Granada and Almeria, traditionally much pooper but catching up fast. Despite encroaching coastal development around Mojacar and Roquetas, there remains one unspoilt corner: Cabo de Gata Natural Park. Beyond a bright of plastic hothouses, it conceals a host of unexpected sights – derelict gold mines, tiny fishing – villages, deserted beaches, volcanic rock formations and the farmhouse scene of the crime of passion that Gracia Lorca’s “Blood Wedding”.

Born in central Malaga in 1881

"K2T Wisata"

Andalucia’s indisputable creative giant was none other than painter and sculptor, Pablo Picasso. Born in central Malaga in 1881, Picasso spent the first decade of his life in this luminous, exuberant port, thematically absorbing and obsession with building as well as his iconic dove of peace. Although he never returned to his hometown after a brief visit in 1900, Malaga never forgot him. Finally, in 2003, the much overdue Museo Picasso opened its doors to reveal a stupendous collection of around 250 major works, donated and loaned by Christine Ruiz-Picasso, his daughter-law, and Bernard, his grandson.
In order to reintegrate their prodigal son, the Andalucian government invested nearly 70 million euros in his landmark in the heart of old Malaga, just a few minutes walk from the artist’s birthplace in Plaza de la Merced. It joins a handful of major sights clustered around a hill which overlooks the port: a Roman theater, the much-renovated 11th century Alcazaba and, high above, the ruins of the 14th century Gibralfaro castle. All are striking relics of Malaga’s long history – a factor that delayed the museum schedule by over two years when Phoenician walls were uncovered in its foundations. Now spotlit as artworks in themselves, these walls lie below a beautifully renovated Renaissance mansion. Locked into this edifice is an intelligently designed extension by New York architect Richard Gluckman and Spanish architects Isabel Camara and Rafael Martin Delgado.
The Malaga, a seaside town not previously associated with a strong cultural agenda, now claims not only the Museo Picasso, but also a slick contemporary art center, the CAC, and a sharply designed museum illustrating the town’s history. As a result, instead of speeding from the airport en route to the sybaritic delights of Marbella ot north to towering splendor of the Allhambra, many people are now giving more time to his extroverted Andalucian crossroads. Art aside, Malaga is an unpretentious place for enjoying tapas bars, pedestrianized shopping streets, breezy seafood restaurants and a few city beaches.

Far closer to Africa than to Spain

"K2T Wisata"

Far closer to Africa than to Spain, the sub-tropical Canary Islands are known for their budget sun and sand – although, as they are volcanic, the latter is often a rather uninviting shade of charcoal. Solutions have been found by importing golden sand from the Sahara 200 km away, and by building saltwater lidos. Nonetheless, the balmy year-round climate, cooled to a steadt 25-30º C by marine currents, has ensured that these seven islands have not only fabulously lush vegetation, including a sufeit of bananas, but also a constant flow visitors.

The majority are attracted by resorts such as Tenerife’s Playa de las Americas, yet their tarnished reputations – complete with satellite football and fish and chips – eclipse dramatic and incredibly varied scenery. This ranges from Tenerife’s cloud-forest and Teide volcano (Spain’s highest peak) to the canyons of Gran Canaria, the lush interiors of La Palma and La Gomera, the simmering craters and lava-fields of Lanzarote, or the windswept rock-formations of tiny El Hierro.

Two capitals serve the archipelago: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas on Gran Cnaria. Santa Cruz, a lively town with a 500year history and a gigant port, is famed for its exuberant February carnival which is massive fuelled by Gran Canaria’s excellent wines. A more sober policy has produced a spectacular new opera house courtesy of Santiago Calatrava. This ambitious architect has, once again, hit the headline with a sculptural desgign which resembles the Sydney Opera House. Herzog & de Meuron are meanwhile, hard at work on a new cultural center in the centre of the town. Similarly sleek, contemporary design approaches throughout the island have converted typical tinerfeno farm-estates into compelling specialist museums devoted to ethnography, ceramics, and wine. All this is a sign that islands, far from being culturally isolated, have caught peninsyular Spain’s self-renewal bug.

The most populated and visited island among the Canaries is Gran Canaria

"K2T Wisata"


The most populated and visited island among the Canaries is Gran Canaria, mainly due to its breathtaking and incredibly diverse landscape. Naturalists head for the Parque Rural del Nublo on the flanks of Pico de las Nieves, to track down the largest number – and amazing variety – of endemic species in the archipelago. However, the biggest card id the seemingly endless beach – in fact about 17 km long – of Maspalomas on the south coast.
Shared by four resorts, Maspalomas’ natural highlights is a spectacular protected area of undulating sand dunes dotted with oases of palm trees. These dunes are home to many rare palnt species – as well as nudists enjoying the idyllic seclusion – and can only be crossed on foot or by camel, an enlightened measure.

Las Palmas, the sprawling capital and port, dates back to 1748 and its old quarter of Vegueta reverberates with the memories of four stopovers by Christopher Columbus en route to the Americas. The Casa de Colon (in the governor’s palace where he stayed in 1502) outlines the great navigator’s expeditions. Yet Las Palmas is as feisty, dynamic and forward-looking as Santa Cruz, impressively straddling the Guiniguada ravine and the Isleta peninsula for 10 km, with a buzzing city beach. Like Santa Cruz, Las Palmas too has a museum, which pays homage to the archipelago’s indigenous inhabitants, the Guanches, who were still in the Stone Age when the Spaniards arrived. Little is known of their origins and primitive other lifestyle other than their mummification techniques.

the Balearics have long been classics in the farniente

"K2T Wisata"


Flung into the Mediterranean like four very unequal pearls, the Balearics have long been classics in the farniente – ships, sailing and maritime – stakes. At the most, activity involves grabbing a tiller, unfurling the sails and heading for a cove. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and its afterthought, Formentera, form this idyllic group, each one different in nature, history and culture. From Mallorca’s moody, mountainous backbone, coves and literary associations to Menorca’s emeralds-green pastures and prehistoric relics, from the hopping nightlife of Ibiza to tiny Formentera’s omnipresent turquoise sea, they are all equally enchanting.
What binds them together – apart from sensational beaches and clear, calm sea – is a sense of a separate identity to Catalonia and, more generally, to Spain. The Balearic language may be derived from Catalan, but it preserves ancient roots, and the mentality is certainly more laidback, some would say less pretentious, than in mainland Catalonia. These are, after all, islands where, until a few decades ago, agriculture was the mainstay – with commerce, fishing and shoe-manufacturing close behind. Today, although sun, sea and sand rule the economy, each island claims its own stimulating features.  Take  the plunge … into the ultramarine Cala Figuera at Mallorca’s Cap de Formentor, the ever-increasingly popular northern haunt of the island.

Mallorca is easily the most diverse, something which is, of course, no secret to millions of tourists

"K2T Wisata"


Mallorca is easily the most diverse, something which is, of course, no secret to millions of tourists. Through an ambitious program of self-improvement, it has successfully raised its profile from the mass-tourism morass of a decade or so ago. Palma gets slicker by the minute as new galleries, museums, boutiques and restaurants fling their doors open. The inevitable label of “the new Barcelona” has been mooted, but, for the moment, this city of 335,000 souls has a long way to go.
Many measures have been successful, not least the traffic flow through this town that sweeps proprietorially around a generous bay. A vast marina, spiked with thousands of masts, fronts rows of high-rise apartment blocks, typical of the 1960s and 1970s when development was in full swing. Palm trees – no surprise in a town with this name – are of course, omnipresent. From here, over 20 km of seafront hotels and apartments extend west to the mass-tourism black spots of Magaluf and Palmanova, and east to quieter beaches much favored by capital-dwellers.
It was in these waters where, in 12929, the Aragonese king captured Mallorca after 400 years of Muslim rule and kick-started a strange history that at one time united Mallorca with Montpellier and Roussillon in France. A striking relic of those days is the circular Castell de Belver overlooking the harbor; this medieval building built by Jaime II served as both a royal residence and royal prison – somehow typical of Mallorca’s schizophrenic nature. Palma’s heyday came in the 16th to 18th centuries when Mallorca was part of the powerful Mediterranean empire which united Barcelona and Valencia with Naples and Sicily. In time, the resultant population of wealthy merchants left a clear and distinguished seigneurial stamp on the old town.
