Dunes of Bolonia, Cádiz

Bolonia beach has recently been named by Condé Nast Traveler magazine as “the best beach in Spain in 2023” and it is very likely that its dunes are partly to blame. The beach itself has some four kilometers of extension in which the sea and the sand are not the only protagonists. The Bologna dune was named natural monument in 2001, where the accumulation of sand reaches 30 meters high.

Juzcar, Malaga

This Malaga town is better known as the “smurf town” thanks to its blue houses. But curiously not only their houses are painted in this color but there are monuments and graffiti dedicated to the Smurfs.

Riotinto mines and its river, Huelva

This mining town is located in the province of Huelva and shows a mysterious landscape of its abandoned mining operations that today are used for tourist enjoyment. Some, like Corta Atalaya, are spectacular. It currently has a very interesting initiative: the Mining Train, which runs along the route followed by the mineral. The image of the red river is simply spectacular.

Santa Cruz neighborhood, Seville

The Santa Cruz neighborhood in Seville is one of the most visited places in Andalusia thanks to its perfect location near the cathedral and the Alcazar, thus offering some amazing settings of the old jewish quarter with its narrow streets, its squares with orange trees, its shops that sell souvenirs, handicrafts and ceramics and its bars where you can enjoy Andalusian gastronomy.

In addition, the experts point out, “the vaccines that are being used for autumn 2022 include the original variant (from Wuhan, used in the first vaccines) and the Ómicron variant, which is mostly circulating since the end of 2021». This makes them, they indicate, completely safe for the population.

The Ministry of Health also recalls that, through health centers -as well as through Salud Responde and the application of the Andalusian Health Service- you can request an appointment both to receive the first dose and for the memory doses.

The toilets also clarify that the minimum age to be vaccinated in Andalusia is still five years. Minors who are reaching that age can request an appointment to receive immunity against Covid-19. “Currently, the minimum age is 5 years old, that is, people born in 2016 or before, and those born in 2017 as they turn 5 years old,” detailed in the Andalusian Health Service.

«In the child population between 5 and 11 years old, only the vaccine is being used Monovariant Children’s Comirnaty (Pfizer), since the bivariates are not yet authorized for children under 12 years of age, “they add. And from the age of 12? “Pfizer’s bivariate Comirnaty vaccine (in its adult format) is being used,” they explain.
