Andalusia Spain Tourism

By on Jan 27, 2012 in Spain Tourism

Andalusia has three major geographic subregions. In the north, the mountainous Sierra Morena separates Andalusia from the the plains of Extremadura and Castile-La Mancha on Spain’s Meseta Central. South of that, the one can distinguish Upper Andalusia—generally the Baetic Cordillera—from Lower Andalusia—the Baetic Depression of the valley of the Guadalquivir. Since the Industrial Revolution, Andalusia has been an economically poor region in comparison with the rest of Spain or of today’s European Union at large. Agriculture and the service sectors predominate in the ecomomy. The region has, however, a rich culture and a strong cultural identity. Many cultural phenomena that are seen internationally as distinctively Spanish—for example, flamenco, bullfighting, and certain Muslim-influenced architectural styles—are largely or entirely Andalusian in origin.
