5 Enjoyable Days in Andalusia
 
Hello everyone,
I'm finally done putting together my trip report on the Andalusian region. I visited Spain this past January for the first time. After 3 wonderful days in Barcelona (TR link in case you're interested: http://goo.gl/WMgo7r), I flew to Granada and started exploring the Southern part of Spain.

I only had 5 days in total in the South, so I chose to spend 2 in Granada, 1 in Cordoba and 2 in Seville before moving on to Lisbon. Before I went, I was a bit concerned because I had read over and over again on here that I would need more than 5 days to do these cities properly. However, it turned out to be enough and a wonderful introduction to the southern Spain. Maybe, it had everything to do with the absolutely gorgeous weather even in the middle of winter. Without further ado, here are:

- Two lovely days in Granada: http://goo.gl/bEM4e8

- A day in the surly Cordoba: http://goo.gl/k82vbj

- Two days in the charming Seville: http://goo.gl/s89veh

Hope you enjoy. And as usual, I'm happy to answer if you have any question :)

Thank you willowjane and progol. I hope the weather will be nice when you visit in December. Oh and Granada, it was just so, so lovely :) I loved it there.

Loved your pictures-reminded me of my trip. Granada was by far my favorite city besides Madrid but it takes a bit of digging to enjoy it. For me, I loved the plazas where people hung out and talked. The wonderful scents of the orange trees and the white houses with gorgeous wooden doors(minus the graffiti ).

Beautiful pictures (almost like oil paintings) - I wonder if the time of year helped with the composition?

Thank you emily71 & ashwinb. The light in Granada was indeed magical :)

stevelyon: Thank you. I really believe that I lucked out on my visit because I went in the midst of winter (this January), but the weather was sunny and warm for the most part. And that contributed a whole lot to the photos.
