The short answerHalal food in Andalusia is available but needs more effort than in Muslim-majority countries. Look for Moroccan, Lebanese and Turkish restaurants, ask clearly about meat and pork, and be careful with tapas, which often contain pork. Keep safe fallbacks such as vegetarian and fish dishes.
Spanish food is wonderful but ham-heavy, so a little planning helps.
