Costa del Sol and Marbella have been popular destinations for GCC in the last 20 years and with the introduction of direct flights, we have seen an increase in numbers and we are hoping to continue this trend once the borders open up and direct flights to the airport of Malaga will be re-connected to Qatar, Riyadh, Bahrain, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.
Malaga is a Mediterranean city that enjoys the best climate in Europe, ideal to live, feel and enjoy. Internationally connected by air and also by land thanks to the Spanish high-speed train AVE, Costa del Sol’s capital is currently one of Spain’s largest cultural cities, boasting around 40 world-class museums, being the birthplace of Picasso and home to such important cultural icons as the own Picasso, Thyssen, Pompidou, the Russian art museum in Saint Petersburg. But Malaga also offers excellent five-star properties, fine and rich and careful gastronomy (for example, the espetos), and a spectacular monumental heritage from Roman, Arab and Catholic times dated centuries ago.
Located in the south of Spain, between the highest mountain range in the Iberian peninsula and the tropical and Mediterranean coast, we find the jewel city of Granada. Granada has the Alhambra fortress and the gardens of the Generalife. But Granada is more than this mesmerizing construction. Granada is the Muslim neighborhood of the Albaicín, the Gipsy Sacromonte cave district where the most authentic Flamenco is to be found, and the old Christian town presided the majestic Cathedral, the finest form of Renaissance architecture in Spain which are all sure attractions for clients from GCC.
Costa del Sol-Andalucía, is indeed one of the most fascinating areas in Spain thanks to its multi aspects, from luxurious hotels to the authentic historic cities; fashion design, shopping, outstanding gastronomy, a great variety of options for halal food; Mediterranean lifestyle, and nightlife. Malaga, Costa del Sol, is no doubt a go-to destination in the GCC.
Sevilla Cathedral, Alcázar and Archivo de Indias in Seville – together these three world heritage buildings by UNESCO form a remarkable monumental complex in the heart of Seville. The cathedral and the Alcázar – dating from the Reconquest of 1248 to the 16th century and imbued with Moorish influences – are an exceptional testimony to the civilization of the Almohads as well as that of Christian Andalusia. However, the main attraction is Plaza de España, full of tiles and ceramics. But once you have seen these you will see that Sevilla has pleasant weather, tasteful gastronomy and offers great value for money, perhaps that’s why more than 60 per cent of people come back again and again.
Córdoba is a medium-sized city – a city whose streets are a delight to stroll through and whose climate is benign throughout the year, full of charming spots and unique historic treasures, where the people are cheerful and friendly, and give a warm welcome to visitors, to whom they proudly show their impressive cultural heritage, their unique accolade of four World Heritage Sites (the Mosque of Cordoba since 1984, the Historic Quarter since 1994, the Patios’s Festival since 2012 and the Caliphate City of Medina Azahara since 2018), Córdoba is this and so much more and we hope the agents enjoyed the webinar as much as we did and we can’t wait to welcome you and your clients from the GCC.
