Teach English in Spain with CIEE to meet Spaniards who embody and enliven the Andalusia behind the stereotypes. Marvel at the clash of cultures in the Mezquita in Cordoba, stroll along the Mediterranean coast, celebrate Semana Santa and Feria in towns all over the region, dance , sing, or just absorb flamenco. Join in the unparalleled spectacles of southern Spain - and in the quieter magic of its daily life.

Andalusia is a vibrant Autonomous Region in southern Spain flanked by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and the rest of Spain to the north. It is bursting with quaint pueblo blanco villages, traditional cities, and an unbeatable culture. Whether you prefer a merienda or late night tapas, the culinary options in Andalusia are boundless. From olives of the heartland to the fresh catch in the Mediterranean, taste buds are never ignored. The birthplace of flamenco, Picasso, and Antonio Banderas is also home to the national sport corrida de toros, a tradition enjoyed or loathed by locals and visitors alike. The countless fiestas and long siestas all contribute to the unique customs of Andalusia.
