  • Pronunciation
    Caveat Lector In the text that follows, I have tried to give some background information about the cities of Córdoba, Granada and Sevilla, as well as about Andalucía in general. I have also attempted to provide practical information about places to visit, things to see, and places to eat, drink and relax. This information is correct to the best of my knowledge, but establishments (especially bars and restaurants) can change and even close down altogether. Likewise, bus timetables and routes change, so please regard travel information as a rough guide only. If making a particular journey is critical to your making a connection or boarding a flight, please double check! Also, as you would expect, my recommendations are personal. I am more interested in galleries and churches than in funfairs and climbing walls. My taste in bars tends more towards the traditional décor of an old-fashioned hostelry than the gleaming chrome of a high-end cocktail bar. When it comes to food, I look for a place that serves Spanish cuisine (even haute cuisine) rather than a ‘concept’ place which claims to serve Ibero-Japanese-Peruvian fusion dishes. Having said that, one or two of those sorts of places might creep in here and there. Peruvian food is, after all, a fusion cuisine in which the Iberian and Japanese influences loom large. For each of my suggestions and recommendations, I have tried to explain why I am recommending it. I hope this will make it easier for you to decide to either add it to your itinerary, or to give it a miss! Moreover, the Granada section is comparatively short — more a list of suggestions without much detail.
