North, South or both?
The Choice is Yours
If you choose to stay in the Mediterranean Granada, you will be less than an hour away from the most beautiful beaches of Andalucía. Take this opportunity and join us in this idyllic location, surrounded by picturesque villages, the most visited monument in Spain, and the natural beauty of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada.
Do you prefer the North? Stay in A Coruña! You’ll be just minutes away from the longest coastline in Spain and the unique charm of Galicia’s beaches. Explore rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and vibrant seaside towns, all while enjoying the region’s rich culture, delicious seafood, and breathtaking Atlantic sunsets.
South vibes, northern tides… Why not both? Start your adventure in one destination and continue in the other. Experience the warmth and history of the South and the wild beauty of the North — all in one unforgettable journey.
