If you want to visit a small but historic Andalucian city, then Almeria airport is where to collect your hire car. The surrounding area offers some of Spain's finest and most unusual beaches - wide sweeps of sand hemmed in by rose-coloured cliffs. This area is as yet undeveloped, so it's a perfect destination for those who prefer quiet days lazing in the sun, away from busy towns and noisy crowds. Movie-lovers will enjoy a visit to the old Hollywood film sets, where many Westerns were filmed, and where you can still see gunfights and dancing girls in a saloon bar.

From Granada airport, you can explore some spectacular mountain scenery nearby: choose from the Sierra Nevada, in winter Europe's southernmost ski resort, and in summer an excellent hiking destination; or the Alpujarras, unspoilt mountains with tiny, remote villages which haven't changed in centuries; the roads are narrow and tortuously windy - not for those in a hurry! This part of Andalucia offers many yoga retreats and alternative communities; it is also a haven for nature-lovers.

Jerez de la Frontera is one of the most delightful airports in Spain - small and picturesque. The city itself is also compact and pretty, and nearby you will find the "sherry triangle", two other towns which also produce the famous fortified wine. Beach-lovers will delight in the Costa de la Luz, with its quiet, unspoilt stretches of golden sand.
