Following breakfast at your hotel, fall in love with the Andalusian capital as you discover the charm of Hispanic-Muslim architecture that is all around the city. Our guided walking tour begins by discovering the alleys and neighborhood courtyards of the central neighborhood of Santa Cruz, the former Jewish quarter of Seville where the second largest Jewish community in Spain was established. In the company of our official tour guide, you'll visit some of the most emblematic works of Andalusia's historic & artistic heritage. You will be amazed by the Gothic-Mudejar beauty of the Reales Alcázares and the dimensions of the Cathedral of Saint Mary, both declared as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Seville's Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral and the third-largest church in the world. It is also the burial site of Christopher Columbus. Originally a Moorish fort, the Alcazar is a royal palace in Seville renowned as one of the most beautiful in Spain. Its upper levels still serve as the official Seville residence for the royal family making it the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe. This tour lasts approximately 3 hours and the remainder of the afternoon is free to spend as you chose. (B)
Today depart on a full-day guided tour to Cordoba and discover the extensive heritage that you can find there. With an official expert guide, you will pass through the Mosque of Cordoba, and the Jewish quarter among others. You can walk through its narrow streets with white houses that create a charming environment. The tour begins with a scenic one-hour bus journey to Cordoba passing many beautiful cities such as Carmona, La Luisiana and La Carlota. We will then arrive in the city which once was the light of the world when it enjoyed the position of being a caliphate city. Cordoba offers an enormous cultural and historic legacy. We will visit the marvelous Cordoban Jewish quarter, full of life and shops, meandering through its most emblematic streets - the narrow flower-lined alleys are pure enjoyment for your senses - until we reach the square of the great Maimonides and the secluded Synagogue. From here we proceed to visit the beautiful Mosque-Cathedral, a spectacular witness of the Caliphate period. Its shimmering golden mosaics and an endless row of red and white striped arches make it a visual delight. Once the guided tour has finished, you will have some free time to walk around by yourself, go shopping in the wonderful pedestrian streets of the Jewish quarter or try some of the delicious local cuisine, before returning to Seville where the tour ends in the city centre after a duration of 9 hours.
