South of Spain

Meander your way through the south of Spain and explore the beautifully rugged region of Andalusia.

Famed for its fascinating architecture, unique food scene and vibrant flamenco dancing, this is where you flit from off-the-beaten-track scenery to urban action in just a short ride.
Must stop: El Rinconcillo – Seville’s oldest tavern. The fried croquettes here are something else.

Must stop: Nashville’s new-to-town National Museum of African American Music, where visitors can go deep into the influence of African American music and go wild on all the interactive tech.

Oh and don’t skip the little, lemon-producing town of Menton.
