So Norwegian are just like Danes... Having to drive 200km is veeeeeery long. If you rent a car, and you want a bit of countryside, fresh air, and stay away from the supercrowded mediterranean cost and hot Granada, I would head towards Cadiz, Jerez, Sanlucar, El puerto de Santa Maria, Barbate, Vejer de la Frontera, Grazalema, Benalmaoma etc.. The Atlantic sea is far nicer in summer than the Mediterranean sea....... AAAhhhhh, The Cadiz province is so sweet and so Andaluz..... There´s a very strong tendency on this forum to always say Granada, Granada and Granada....... Maybe some people havent been to other places and only recommend what they know?????

Pamplona is in the North so as you are heading South I'd forget that idea. When I first came to Andalucia for a 10 day break we divided our time between the cities, Malaga, Cordoba, Sevilla and Granada, and the beach at Salobreña, or as Simon recommends La Herradura or Nerja, all nice coastal towns. I wouldnt bother with a car. The buses are excellent and cheap and cars in cities are a nuisance, expensive to park and can get broken into. There is a Granada bias on the forum as so many of the members have come to visit and love the place, added to that there are a few foro members living here. But it is a well deserved bias as Granada is a stunning city to visit. I'd see as much as I could and travel around, spending a few days here and there and staying longer if you feel like it. Dont plan too much and let Spain lead you whereever the fancy takes you

I like your last sentence the most My travelmates "has got to see the alhambra" so we will be a bit in granada. At the same time, as this is an vacation, it means exploring and i am drawn to the cadiz area and jerez. we decided to rent a car, but not for the whole vacation, granada by bus or train or something, then on the other side, cadiz and that area, we will use a car. I feel Anders knows me a bit because he is from the north so I think a mix like this, although a bit of hassle, is a way to balance it so all are happy Thank you all for the tips so far, I love you all

You're welcome Jonas. While you are still in planning mode read this thread if you haven't already. http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=170658&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1 It gives you the dates of the San Lucar course and you can see who is planning to go. If you make it to the Puebla it sort of makes sense to go on there and, you dont need to be on the the course to enjoy it, every evening there is a juerga, a party in different sherry bodegas. Harold and I spent a few days hanging out last year and enjoyed every minute. In past years after the course many foro members have come on to Granada, to carry on the juerga in the caves of the Sacromonte, getting in more practise. Also it makes a nice change from the coast to the mountains. There is a foro member Luke in Sevilla. I was reminded of him the other day as I am sure I saw him walking past my local bar, guitar in hand, a couple of pretty girls on each side, heading up the Albaicin. Anyway it may be worth sending him a pm as he doesnt get on the foro much. He should be able to give you some pointers as to where to hang out in Sevilla. I am so excited for you. I remember my first trip to Andalucia as if it were yesterday. Before I came here i had always gone to Barcelona or the Basque country. It really opened my eyes to another side of Spain, and changed my life
