The Andalucía Rally is a rally raid that has been held in Andalucia, Spain since 2020.[1] The event was part of the World Rally-Raid Championship in 2021 and 2022.

The rally is organized by ASO and the ODC company, represented by the rally driver David Castera, and it is promoted together with the Rallye du Maroc as a shakedown for the Dakar Rally.[2] It typically takes place in June, though the 2022 edition was moved to October due to a heat wave in the region.[3]
