The best of Andalucia

Ok, here is my list of "the best of Andalucia". It's pretty slim because I've never been there, but if you have and would like to recommend a few places, tapas bars, or ideas you can do so here. Thanks.


-the BEST tapas bars (free tapas with drinks, good portions, or interestings tapas)
-the best authentic/most unforgettable local travel experiences (i.e. non-typical, interesting/special experiences (full of original character), and unique only to the regional area).
-memorable/dramatic scenery & landscape photography. Where do I find the best (viewpoints, city views, panoramas, skylines, sunsets, etc..)?
-the unique outdoors, hikes/hilltops/lookouts, and amazing views...
-lovely/charming streets, magnificent/attractive architecture
-specialty/unique regional cuisine, and gastronomy (under 15Eur/meal),
-and the best freebies and/or anything else off-the beaten path.

Thanks again...(my list is located below)
