ANDALUSIA

Driving Spain’s economic records

It is almost impossible to convey the essence of Andalusia in just a few words this southernmost autonomous community in Peninsular Spain is too rich in history, stunning landscapes, lively festivals, and celebrated gastronomy. All these treasures continue to enchant millions of travelers. In 2024, Andalusia set a new tourism record, welcoming almost 36.2 million visitors and generating revenues of 30 billion euros. The industry’s performance is expected to be even higher in 2025 as it becomes more sustainable, technologically advanced, and better spread across time and territory.

 

However, even such impressive numbers pale in comparison to Andalusias economic growth. The region now generates approximately 14% of the nation’s total GDP, a contribution that continues to grow at a rather steady pace. An unprecedented influx of foreign capital, new export records and leadership in renewable energy are taking Andalusia beyond its historical role, firmly establishing it as one of Spain’s most outstanding economic centres.
