Golf Holidays Spain - golf Holidays in andalucia
Golf in Spain is synonymous with the Costa del Sol, with over 400,000 golfers having visited there last year! It is easy to see the 'Costa's' appeal; 150km stretch of coast, over 300 days of sunshine a year and 30 golf courses make it the most popular destination in Europe for the UK golfer. The diversity of accommodation and courses also appeals, as well as the vast choice of restaurants and bars, which make the area as popular during the evening as during the day.However, golf in Spain doesn't simply stop with the Costa del Sol. This culturally diverse country possesses many ideal locations for a golfing break.
Andalucia technically includes the Costa del Sol, however from Sotogrande to Isla Canela, on the Portuguese border, we take a look at the real Andalucia. The home of Tapas, sherry 'bodegas' and dancing horses. An area steeped in maritime history with Cadiz and Gibraltar overlooking their moorish neighbours the historic towns of Medina Sidonia and Puerto de Santa Maria and the natural beauty of the Donana National Park.
And the Golf's not bad either, Valderrama, Sotogrande, Almenara, San Roque, Montecastillo and Montenmedio all receive a 5 in our course guide!
We then cross to the east coast, to historic Valencia, home of El Saler GC rated the 2nd best course in Continental Europe, and La Manga Club, surely the ultimate sports and leisure complex in Spain. Finally finishing up with the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Mallorca where the cultural, natural and golfing diversity will greatly surprise those of you who thought they were just the home of the package holiday.
So this year take a look at the other side of Spain, we guarantee you won't be disappointed.
