Andalucia (Doves song)

"Andalucia" (sometimes spelled as "Andalucía") is the first single taken from Doves' first career-spanning best-of compilation, titled The Places Between: The Best of Doves. The song was released as a promo single on 1 March 2010. The single received its first airplay on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on 3 March 2010, despite not being listed on the track list for that show, and again on 4 March 2010, on Steve Lamacq's BBC 6 Music radio show Roundtable. Both shows are available for streaming on the BBC's website.^[1] The song was then released as a digital download-only single on 5 April 2010, the same day the compilation was released.^[2] "Andalucia" also marks the first Doves single release not available commercially on a physical format.

A music video was produced for the song, filmed in Granada and directed by Soup Collective and photographer Percy Dean,^[3] but was not included on the DVD for The Places Between.^[4] nthWORD said of the music video, "It's very possible that the video for Doves' "Andalucia" will start your day off on the right feet. Dig the old man."^[5] A video of Jimi Goodwin and Jez Williams performing an acoustic version of "Andalucia" at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire premiered on The Guardian's website on 4 April 2010.^[6]
