Geotoura – Hotel concept

When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, a location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.

We divide our hotels into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.

Boutique Hotels – Four categories

Encantador (“Charming”): Our most affordable option. Lovingly furnished rooms that offer everything the discerning traveller expects.

Especial (“Special”): Hotels with a special ambience – historic palaces, monasteries, haciendas or beach hotels with exceptional charm. Perfect for the classic cultural tour.

Extraordinario (“Extraordinary”): Luxurious hotels in excellent locations and with the highest level of comfort, often in centuries-old aristocratic palaces, old oil mills or haciendas.

Luna de Miel (“honeymoon”): For the honeymoon – span. Luna de miel – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …

Character of this travel idea

Would you like to get to know Andalusia as intensively as possible in a short space of time? Then this 9-day round trip, which takes you to the major highlights as well as hidden gems, is just the thing. There’s even time to relax by the sea. Let yourself be enchanted by Andalusia’s diversity.

Experience culture

In the Judería, the former Jewish quarter in Córdoba, you will disappear into another era after just a few steps. The neighbourhood owes its special charm to its flower-filled patios, among other things, which offer you real postcard motifs. In Carmona, by contrast, the real life of Andalusia awaits you in the plazas. Settle down in one of the small cafés and watch the goings-on before you set off in search of witnesses of times long past in the historic old town between the two city gates, Puerta de Sevilla and Puerta de Córdoba.

Experience nature

This individual Andalusia round trip takes you to the high plateau in the hinterland of the Costa de la Luz, 200 metres above the beaches and coastal towns. The picturesque town of Vejer de la Frontera is enthroned here. Especially in the evening, when the surrounding hills are bathed in warm sunlight, the white village exudes an almost magical charm. You can reach an altitude of 1000 metres in the Montes de Málaga. It’s hard to believe that this natural paradise with its rich flora and fauna is only a few kilometres away from urban Málaga.

Andalusia culinary delights

In addition to its authentic Mediterranean cuicine, Andalusia is celebrated chiefly for its tapas. The ‘tapeo’ is an Andalusian custom in which the small appetisers are eaten in company and accompanied by a glass of wine or the increasingly popular Spanish beer. In other words, eating is a sociable experience in which the restaurant is often changed for the next bite.

Moorish influences can also be found in Andalusian dishes, for example in the use of spices such as saffron, cumin, oranges, almonds and honey. Fish and seafood are naturally at the top of the menu, especially on the coast.

In the interior, on the other hand, it is more hearty meat dishes that tantalise the palate. A particularly refreshing drink is the sherry produced in Andalusia – well chilled and ranging from really sweet to very dry, there is something for every taste.

Not forgetting the Jamón Ibérico – sliced into wafer-thin slices – which you should not miss out on when travelling through Andalusia.

The authentic Andalusia

Take a closer look and listen. The winding alleyways tell you stories from the everyday lives of people then and now. The cheerful sounds of street musicians can be heard from many a corner. Get involved in the culinary side of life and discover Andalusia with all your senses.

Our tour of Andalusia had been a dream of ours for years. Thanks to the great planning and advice from Geotoura, our dream has come true! Granada with the Alhambra, the Mezquita in Cordoba, the vibrant life in Seville, the beach of the Costa de la Luz and the white villages with Ronda as the final destination were great and impressed us. We can recommend to everyone to go with Geotoura to experience Andalusia.

I would like to thank you for the excellent preparation of our trip and for your good judgement in selecting the small but very fine hotels. We returned from Andalusia with a wealth of wonderful impressions. The Alhambra was particularly impressive, with the first snow in the Sierra Nevada in the background, as was the Caminito del Rey – both are well worth seeing. I also like the fact that we have you as a point of contact in the background during our trip.

Our first trip with Geotoura will certainly not be our last. The ten-day tour through Andalusia was well prepared. The professional organisation by the competent and friendly team took a lot of work off our hands. The selected hotels were exceptional and gave each stop an individual touch. We would like to thank you for a great travel experience!

Our tour of Andalusia was perfectly planned. Everything went wonderfully. The personalised tour guide helped us to prepare well for the cities. We particularly liked the personalised offer from Geotoura, where everyone can put together their own trip. We were also impressed by the hotels. We are happy to recommend Geotoura.
