8 8 Villa Candela Location Andalusia lies at the point where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean and Europe gives way to Africa at the south of Spain. Rich in folklore, Andalusia is renowned for gorgeous beaches, white villages, flamenco, fiestas, toreros and bullfighting that form the very essence of this sunny Iberian country. It comes as no surprise that such a strategically located and geographically diverse country was subjected to multiple invasions over the centuries. First came the Phoenicians, then the Carthaginians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Visigoths and the Moors, with each group imprinting their unique legacy on the land. The mountainous region embraces Costa del Sol, a storied coastline with some of the most beautiful cities lying between the Costa del Sol and breath-taking national parks. Málaga, the capital of Costa del Sol and fifth largest city in Spain, is the main point of entry into Andalusia. The Costa de Sol is divided into two sections, with Málaga city at its centre. The eastern coast stretches from the provincial capital as far as Nerja, where it meets the Costa Tropical of Granada province. The western coast curves southwards towards Gibraltar, with patches of charming towns along the way such as Fuengirola, Torremolinos, San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella. Another outstanding feature of this coastline is its extraordinary number of golf courses and is often referred to as the Costa del Golf. With stunning mountain and cliff top locations, the golf courses offer spectacular views over the varied landscapes and down to the sea making this a compelling destination for avid golfers as well. Case Muse Marbella has no less than 15 championship golf courses with in 5 to 30mins drive.

9 9 The Spanish - Cuisine! A big part of the Spanish food culture is tapas. The story began in the early days at Andalusian taverns when flying insects tended to get into bar patrons' drinks on hot days. As a preventive measure, the patrons started using flat items to cover their glasses and it eventually evolved to using bread, cheese or meat as covers instead. The word 'tapas' is derived from the Spanish word tapar meaning 'to cover' and the concept of tapas was born with small bites being an integral part of drinks. Andalusia's culinary influence draws heavily on the North African and Arabic legacy bequeathed by nearly eight centuries of Moorish rule. The Moors were skilled agriculturalists, taming arid land into fertile oases to introduce an astonishing array of produce that included fruits, rice, nuts, vegetables and spices. It was only after 1492, when the last Moorish stronghold fell and Spain was reunified, that importation of produce such as tomatoes, potatoes, capsicums, chillies and chocolate from the New World contributed to the unique, hybrid nature of Spanish cuisine that we recognise today. With an abundance of fresh produce, seafood, meat, spices and herbs from around the world, this cuisine is a fantastic amalgamation of tastes and flavours. Essential ingredients and traditional favourites include: Olives Having arrived in Spain around 1000 BC the olive tree was further cultivated by the Romans and the Moors. An estimated 262 varieties are grown throughout Spain The fruit of the tree is also eaten after brining and is found in every bar and market. Chorizo Considered as the king of sausages in Spain, it comes in different shapes and sizes, raw or cured, spicy or sweet. Made from ground pork and its fat, flavoured with pimentón, garlic and pepper. Jamón Ham or jamón is an integral part of life and retains its traditional artisan methods of production. Several varieties are available but the finest is jamón Ibérico de bellota made from black-footed pigs fed on a rich diet of acorns and herbs that lend the meat its distinctive flavour. Haunches of jamón are seen hanging from the ceiling of every traditional bar and restaurant in Spain. Paella Moorish peasants were the first to conceive paella, one of Spain's hero dishes. It started life as poor man's fare, using short-grain rice cooked with olive oil, saffron, vegetables and anything else at hand. While the key ingredients remain largely unchanged, there are certainly more variations available these days. Paella is almost synonymous with the broad, shallow steel pans used to cook it..
