It's now, when the temperatures become more mild, that we feel like participating in these seasonal activities: Go out into the country and practice hiking in Sierra Nevada or enjoy a day on the beach.

Each year, the arrival of autumn fills the kitchens of Andalusia with flavours that are true delicacies for the palate. Dishes are made using chestnuts, wild mushrooms, quince and game, the raw ingredients of the season offering an array of succulent results when properly combined which help us to understand Andalusia in a whole new way.

Whether you have just a weekend or more time to explore the region, the activities on offer are as diverse as the region itself.
