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)
