Axis between Europe and Africa and meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the region of Andalucía in Spain has been coveted by many different cultures throughout history and prehistory. Andalucía has a surface area of 87,268 sq.km. and represents 17.3 per cent of Spain. The diversity of landscapes and geographical terrain give rise to an array of environments that go from the heat of the Guadalquivir River valley through to luxuriant mid-mountain areas, volcanic landscapes such as the Tabernas desert, and the snow-capped peaks of Sierra Nevada. The Guadalquivir is Andalucía’s most important river and brings life to many areas in its journey across the region. In barely 40 km, you can go from Alpine landscapes to tropical areas on the shores of the Mediterranean. The coast of Andalucía stretches for almost 900 km and is home to many cities, towns and beaches that are a delight to visit.

Andalucía today is a modern region with well-developed infrastructure. It not just offers a warm welcome to the visitors, but also takes care of its roots and maintains its important cultural heritage and monuments.

Akbar Holidays The SSP is well designed with photos, videos and lots of relevant content. The basic course is so simple and easy to understand that even a fresher can get the knowledge and confidence to advise and design a Spain itinerary. It is not just the destinations and sight-seeing, but you also get a good understanding of the history, culture, art, festivals and even local cuisine. For a detailed understanding of Spain, there is the advanced course and region-specific courses. I have found it interesting and informative. It is a one stop place to refer to when designing a Spain itinerary. The webinar gives you a very good idea of what Andalucía is.

I am truly passionate about Spain and my experience on doing the Spain Specialist Program was very enriching. The SSP Program was very informative and will provide a great usefulness to us travel agents in future. The strongest aspect about the course was how detailed & clear the content was with presenting and structuring each topic. I gained a lot of knowledge about different art, culture, museums, monuments, beaches, cities, fiestas, routes, cuisine and natural spaces in Spain. A big thank you to Spain Tourism for giving us this platform to enhance our knowledge to sell Spain effectively.
