Costa Del Sol
It is possible that the Neolithic revolution, the discovery of agriculture the passage of nomadic to sedentary peoples, reached Europe by way of Africa through what is known today as Andalusia. This historical center of influence, an east - west displacement, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic began with a revolution that introduced the usage of metals and the arrival of colonizers from the east. A confluence of fertile lands, of metallurgy and fishing activities took place in this westernmost area that the Tartars once inhabited. This mysterious civilization that lived in the southern Iberian peninsula since the bronze ages, established the first known monarchy in western Europe. The Tartars, an agricultural and cattle raising people, also worked the gold mines while their ships traded with Great Britain from the west and received the Phoenicians from the east. This marked the beginning of a complex geographical position between two oceans and two continents. Rome took up residence on these shores after realizing that this region could become the open door for a threat from Cartage. Roman legions appeared for the first time in the 3rd century BC. The exuberant province of "Betica" would become for t
Other peoples appeared from the north. From the shores of the Rin descended the Vandals in 411 AD. They settled in the valley of the Guadalquivir river and in northern Africa and for half a century united the shores of the two continents. Before being expelled by the Visigoths they had given a new name to the region of Europe: Vandalucia. The center of global economic and political movement was displaced. An Andalusian town took notice of this crucial moment achieving its greatest glory shortly afterwards for the following 150 years. Known as the spot where "the heart of Europe beats", Sevilla became the neurological center of the Spanish empire. Her port received ships loaded with gold and silver from America, and from there minted coins were circulated throughout other European nations. A little later Cadiz would continue this Andalusian leading role in its relations with the Indies. Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a neighboring village became the port from where the first round the world voyage was initiated. The number of museums in Andalusia, leading off with the Bellas Artes in Sevilla, the second most important art gallery in Spain after the Prado Museum, offers the opportunity to behold everything from sacred works to the world of bullfighting. It also includes scenes from homes of various writers, painters and composers, exhibition halls of historic interest, ethnological and anthropological works, etc. It is most noted for its significant display of painting and sculpture. Bullfighting fiestas in Andalusia are highly important due to their deep roots. During three quarters of the year bullfights are celebrated in numerous plazas, coinciding with local fairs, where people dance and sing to the sound of guitars.
