ABOUT Spain

Spain is, above all, a mosaic of cultures. Heterogeneous. Old and modern. Refined and popular. Holy and secular. Plural and diverse. The variety of its cultures attracts. The historic heritage dazzles. The vital power of its people fascinates. Spanish culture is extremely rich and touches upon all forms of artistic expression. From literature to painting, music to architecture, the theatre to sumptuary arts.

Andalucia is one of the most fascinating regions, blessed by a dry and sunny climate and cradled by miles of sandy beaches, where our villas and hotels are the perfect base for a luxury holiday in Spain – and from which to explore the countless restaurants, nightclubs and golf courses. Inland, Andalucia quickly reverts to its traditional culture, with whitewashed villages clustered around castles and palaces in a timeless agrarian landscape, where our selection of restored farmhouses rich with colour-washed walls and exposed beams are totally appropriate homes in communities that frequently flare into fiestas that last all night.
