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 all aspects of history and culture? Do you want to see the major highlights, but also take a look behind the scenes and into many a local cooking pot? Then this 9-day round trip will give you your Andalusia concentrate. “Immerse yourself and take away many fascinating impressions” is the motto of this travel idea. And when are you travelling?

Experience culture

The Alhambra and Mezquita are the great highlights of history in a single ensemble or building. With the Judería Córdobas, however, after just a few steps you disappear into an entire neighbourhood that seems to have been lost in time. On this 9-day tour through the highlights of Andalusia, you will follow the Romans, Moors and Spaniards who left their mark on the Jewish quarter of the old town. The district owes its special charm, among other things, to the flower-bedecked patios that dot every corner with colour. On your excursion into the past, take a seat in one of the small cafés and explore the surrounding houses. The glorious era of the Middle Ages comes to life again, when Jews, Christians and Muslims coexisted peacefully here. At first glance, the inconspicuous details on the doors and walls of the houses tell of the everyday lives of the people of that time. And the cheerful melodies of street musicians can be heard from many a winding alleyway and across the squares.

Experience nature

This individual round trip in a hire car takes you to one of the most beautiful gems in the province of Málaga. Ronda has inspired many great minds from the worlds of art and culture. However, this is not only due to its architectural beauty, such as the Arab baths, the Palacio de Mondragón and the elegant ensemble in the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent. Above all, Ronda’s location high up on a rocky plateau and torn apart by the sheer walls of the Tagus Gorge impresses every visitor. You can experience this moving natural spectacle up close by standing on the Puente Nuevo and gazing down into the abyss. Or you can enjoy the dramatic panorama of the plateau with the gorge from the Balcón del Coño.

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

Flamenco is the danced fire of Spain. Spirited, seductive and yet traditional, it is a piece of the Spanish soul. It reveals itself to you on your personalised round trip during a rousing performance in the Casa de la Memoria in Seville. Feel the tingling under your skin from the first sounds to the final figure and take a deep look into the Spanish soul.

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.
