There's a warm welcome waiting
in Andalucian inland villages.
|
The whitewashed villages of Andalucia are impressive
historical monuments in themselves, and their people still live
according to age-old traditions, inherited from their Iberian, Roman
and Moorish forefathers.
Many of the villages near the coast have become
fashionable resorts, while still conserving their ancient charm,
whereas others, lost in the highlands of Andalucia, remain rough
and ready olive-farming towns, with a special appeal for the adventurous
travellers.
Most Andalucian towns began as fortresses, which
stood along the ever-fluctuating frontier between the Christian
and Moorish realms, as is apparent in the names of such towns as
"Jerez de la Frontera", "Arcos de la Frontera",
"Morón de la Frontera"... Over the centuries, many
have developed into thriving agricultural centres producing olive
oil, fruit and vegetables and goat's milk.
