Andalucia province also takes in mountains, the Sierra Nevada where you can ski in February and then drive down to the coast for a swim the same day. Perhaps more compelling though are the opportunities for walking in the lower slopes, Las Alpujarras. Alternatively, there is good trekking amongst the gentler hills of the Sierra Morena. Costa del Sol, Europe's most heavily developed resort area with its beaches hidden behind a remorseless density of concrete hotels and apartment complexes. However, the province takes in two alternatives much less developed and with some of the best beaches in all Spain. These are the villages between Tarifa and Cádiz on the Atlantic, and those around Almeria on the southeast corner of the Mediterranean. The beaches of Almeria allow warm swimming through all but the winter months; those near Cádiz more easily accessible are fine from about June to September. Near Cádiz, too, is the Coto de Doñana national park.Doñana National park, Spain’s largest and most important nature reserve. Andalucia is also Spain at its most exuberant the home of flamenco and the bullfight and those wild and extravagant clichés of the hundreds of annual fiestas, ferias and romerías. The best of them include the April Fair in Seville, the ageless pilgrimage to El Rocio near Huelva in late May, and the dramatically moving Semana Santa (Easter) celebrations in Malaga, Granada, Seville, Cordoba and Jerez.
