'"Andalucia"' is a single from Doves' 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, and again on 4 March 2010, on Steve Lamacq's BBC 6 Music radio show 'Roundtable'.[http://www.dovesmusicblog.com/2010/03/hear-andalucia-now.html Doves Music Blog Hear Andalucia Now!] The song was then released as a digital download-only single on 5 April 2010, the same day the compilation was released.[https://www.amazon.co.uk/Andaluc%C3%ADa/dp/B003CAKTGA Andaluca: Doves: Amazon.co.uk: MP3 Downloads] It was the band's final single before their ten-year hiatus. "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,[http://percydean.blogspot.com/ Percy Dean Blogspot dated 14 April 2010] but was not included on the DVD for 'The Places Between'.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-Y2M3fLJsc YouTube Doves Andalucia (Heavenly Recordings)] 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." 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.
