Hi! I'm Michael.



Welcome to Autentical

Tired of crowded tourist destinations?

We know the feeling! And we completely understand your fear of running into crowds of tourists everywhere. Therefore we started exploring every little corner of Andalusia. There are so many unique experiences out there - in the authentic Andalusia, away from the touristy areas.

We value authentic experiences that support small local businesses, where you can relax - away from the crowds of tourists.
