White-washed villages and alfresco dining. Seville and Granada, Santa Maria and San Fernando. The snow-capped Sierra Mountains and the sun-kissed beaches. The home of flamenco, tapas, and bullfighting, and the site of the Spanish Inquisition. Andalucía is one of Spain's most cherished and authentic regions.

Climb the Giralda Tower in Seville, and take a birds' eye view of this beautiful city. Ride the rollercoasters in Isla Mágica theme-park and see the Torro del Oro light up the city at night. Pass castles and orange trees on your way to eat tapas in Granada. Watch flamenco beneath the Sierra Nevada Mountains and visit the bejewelled palace of the Alhambra - one of the most famous fortresses in Spain. Venture inland to Cordoba, passing cathedrals and olive groves. Study the red and white stone arches of the Mezquita mosque, or head to Andalucía's southern beaches to see Morocco on a clear day.

The warm weather, laid-back attitude and alfresco lifestyle in Andalucía are very much appreciated by visiting school groups. STS offer beach or city-based accommodation, to suit the particular needs of each group. A region of rich culture and stunning landscapes, Andalucía offers a very Spanish experience for students of any discipline.
