Where Should I go: Andalusia or Languedoc-Roussillon?
Andalusia
The Andalusia Region of Spain is located in the south of Spain. The territory is divided into eight provinces: Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaen, Malaga and the capital city of the region, Seville. Andalusia is in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and is the only European region with coastlines on both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. Traditionally, the main economic contribution of the area is from agriculture, but in recent years the service industry, specifically tourism, retail, and transportation, have become at least as important and possibly even more important to the economy.
Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon (often called "the Languedoc") is a historical coastal region in southern France, extending from Provence to the Pyrenees Mountains and the border with Spain. It is a former administrative region of France. Since 1 January 2016, it is part of the new region Occitanie. The area is a major wine producer, with Vin de Pays d'Oc and sparkling Cremant de Limoux among its best-known varieties. The regional capital, Montpellier, is home to a well-preserved medieval quarter. It comprises five departments, and borders the other French regions of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Rhone-Alpes, Auvergne, Midi-Pyrenees on the one side, and Spain, Andorra and the Mediterranean Sea on the other side. It is the southernmost region of mainland France. The fertile coastal plain is given over to agriculture, vineyards and - particularly in Roussillon - fruit and vegetables. Languedoc is one of France's major wine-growing areas. The coast of Languedoc is characterized by long sandy beaches, often with plenty of space, and a modern tourist infrastructure, with twentieth-century resorts such as Cap d'Agde, Palavas, or Narbonne Plage.
