"It might seem crazy what I’m ’bout to say
Sunshine, she’s here, you can take a break."

(Let's face it—those words could have been written with Andalucía in mind.)

"I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care, baby, by the way."

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you.

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.

Every now and then, a song comes along that, no matter how many times you hear it, never gets old. You still smile and find a spring in your step—even if it’s the 50th or 100th time you’ve heard it.

The song that fits this category in spring 2014 is Pharrell Williams' "Happy." Not just because of its catchy, upbeat tune and joyful lyrics—"Clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do... because I'm happy."—but also because of the countless videos it has inspired.

Here at Andalucia.com, we’ve been keeping an eye on the creative videos Andalusians, with their strong sense of fun, have been producing. These videos showcase their hometowns in a unique and joyful way—whether it's cities like Seville and Granada or seaside towns like Chipiona (with its famous lighthouse) and glamorous Marbella (with shopping bags in Puerto Banús).

Here are our top picks. If these don’t brighten your day with their infectious Andalusian joy and glimpses of these beautiful places, we’ll be very, very surprised!
