Seville, Córdoba, Cádiz or Málaga - Andalusia, at the crossroad of Europe and Africa, has figured prominently in the history of Europe and the Mediterranean. The region has a rich heritage and a strong identity. Many cultural phenomena that are seen internationally as distinctively Spanish are largely or entirely Andalusian in origin. These include flamenco, bullfighting, and certain Moorish influenced architectural styles.
