Andalusia is located in the southernmost historical and geographical region of Spain and is also a fertile autonomous region in southern Spain. The name originally came from the Arabians, meaning "the land of the Vandals."
The region mainly consists of the Guadalquivir River Basin and the Baetic Mountain Range, with the famous tourist destinations Sun Coast and Lus Coast along the southern coast.
The fertile land produces sugarcane, bananas, grapes, and cotton. Numerous ruins from the 8th to the 15th century during Moorish rule exist in the area. Alongside this, it is also responsible for 80% of the country's olive oil production.
As the southernmost region in Europe, Andalusia's southern tip is only 17 nautical miles away from Africa. Its unique geographical location allowed it to absorb various different cultures throughout history.
