Spain - Andalusia - driving a car

[Fragony]

Come to Portugal instead.......you come here as a boy....drive 700 km in our roads and leave a MAN!!

But the place is dead, everybody is at least 50+, there isn't anything to do.

I was in Andalusia a few years ago. I only really saw Cordoba and Sevilla. I did manage to be in Sevilla during the April festivities, which was wonderful.

Then I travelled south to Morocco, which was great. Morocco wasn't great, quite the opposite in fact, but the experience was. The Mediterranean, it turned out, was a much less solid border than you'd expect. Much was a cultural continuum. In food, architecture (see the Moorish originals!), people. Very interesting.


I have no tips for Andalusia that one can't find in a five-page tourist folder.

Are you perhaps thinking of the algarve here?

I myself found Portugal very lively. Pretty too. Lisbon is the best city in Iberia, better even than Barcelona.

Phreaps I may be a tiny bit biased, but I agree with you.

better even than Barcelona.

Bah. You are wrong.

Just because I'm going to Barcelona someday (oh yes, long live Barcelona FC )

You said the same thing about Italy!

Either you are harboring a deep seated prejudice towards swarthy people or you're secretly working for the Netherlands Board of Tourism! CONFESS!

I spent two and a half weeks in Spain last year, there was an abundance of attractive, young, home grown comestibles to be found...

never.

It's just true for Italy. Not for Spain though. Or France. or the Netherlands

Lisboa is a verry nice city with lots of thing to do and watch. (especially if the weather is hot ) and has a decent night life too. Not dead at all if you ask me.

OT: well I never been on Andalusia so err... well...err... see ya!
