You have plenty to choose from, without a doubt.
The culture of Andalusia is one defined by traditional dances such a the Flamenco, by the world famous custom of the bullfighting, by the amazing local gastronomy, popular events such as the Easter Week, the Carnival in Cadiz, the April Fair in Seville, the Rocio pilgrimage in Huelva.

You most likely have heard about the nature of many places being defined by variety. Well, it's actually the same for the nature of Andalusia, just that here everything has its own specific character... a Spanish one: incomparable.

You can actually go skiing in the resorts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in winter, and you can of course, see to an inflatable banana boat at the beach, or go sailing, swimming, sunbathing, explore the “white villages” with their folklore and artisany. Surfing in Tarifa, on the Coast of Cadiz is also just perfect.
