Spain Cruises | Intrepid Travel IL

Delve into the sights, sounds and tastes of traditional Spanish culture in the sizzling south.

Some of Spain’s most famous traditions, such as tapas and flamenco, originated from its southern reaches. The former battleground of Muslim and Christian rulers, the Andalusia region, owes much of its charm to a colourful past. You could spend days marvelling at the ornate churches that used to be mosques, and sprawling Moorish palaces like the Alcazar in Seville and Alhambra in Granada. And then there’s the food – Andalusian staples like fried fish and spinach with chickpeas are simple yet bursting with flavour. Cruising the warm Mediterranean waters that surround the south lets you delve into this glorious culture while taking advantage of sunny beach towns and lesser-known gems that line the coast – all with a glass of local sherry in hand, naturally.
