This paper deals with gender differences in the daily mobility of the population in 'urban regions of Andalusia', using data from the "Social Survey 2011: Mobility in the urban regions of Andalusia", by the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. In this work, differences in the main variables of mobility (purpose of travel, means of transport used and time spent on travelling) are discussed. Moreover, this paper highlights gender differences in people's mobility, the different reasons which lead men and women to take trips, a greater use of public transport by women and the importance of using cars as the main private resource for people's mobility in Andalusia, regardless the gender, or urban region of origin.
