Seville
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Today post breakfast take a break and you will be picked up from the hotel by 12 PM for your half day tour in Seville. Maria Luisa Park and It’s Botanical Garden: The largest green space in central Seville originally belonged to the nearby San Telmo Palace, dating to the 1500s.
- In the late-19th century the grounds were donated to the city by Infanta Luisa Fernanda and took their present shape after a remodel in 1911.
- Maria Luisa is one of those parks with a pleasant surprise down every path, whether it’s an ornamental pond, pavilion, sculpture or tiled fountain. The park’s broad avenues have twin-rows of tall palm trees, while the body of the park, woven with little trails, is a large botanical garden with unusual species from around the world.
- Plaza de España: This colossal monument was built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929 and stands within the Maria Luisa Park. It’s a semi-circular plaza edged by a canal and overlooked by a large, curved palace. The palace contains many of the city’s administrative buildings, but the reason to visit is to walk beneath the gallery. You’ll see busts of important national figures but also little installations for every province in Spain.
- Using typical Sevillian azulejos (painted tiles) these displays showcase details like the local food and famous monuments in each part of the country. It’s like a quaint geography lesson and will hold your attention for a good few minutes. Tirana Neighborhood: On the left bank of the Guadalquivir, opposite the old city is the Tirana neighborhood. This is an earth part of the city, credited for many of the things people associate with Sevillian culture, like painted ceramics and flamenco. The main way in is via the Isabel Bridge close to the bullfighting arena, here you can halt and see 250 years old bullfighting arena and moving in the said direction will make you arrive at the Plaza de Altozano, which has a much-photographed statue of a flamenco dancer, a “monument to the flamenco art”. Check out the area’s Moorish revival and baroque architecture and pop into one of the many tile and ceramics shops for authentic azulejos tiles and take a scenic boat ride.
- Back to hotel and overnight stay.

Seville
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- After breakfast today it’s time to visit the main hot spots of Seville.
- Seville Cathedral: This enormous structure is like a little world on its own, and you will lose hours staring in awe at the beautiful architectural flourishes, relics and historical curios. With 80 different chapels it’s the largest cathedral in the world by volume and is a World Heritage site. There are also hints of the mosque that once stood on this spot, especially in the Court of the Orange trees on the north side, where Muslims once performed ablutions.
- The big photo opportunity inside is definitely the tomb of Christopher Columbus, but there’s something spectacular at almost every turn.
- La Giralda: An enduring emblem for Seville, the Giralda is the bell-tower right next-door to the Cathedral. It has Moorish origins, being the minaret for the former mosque. What’s unusual about the tower is that 34 ramps lead to the top instead of a stairway.This was so that Muezzin who led the call to prayer could ride his horse up the tower instead of walking. To break up the monotony of the climb there are regular archaeological exhibits on the way up. And at the top the view is even better than you could hope for.
- Evening visit Real Alcazar: This is a marvelous Unesco-listed palace complex that is still in use by the Spanish royal family: their chambers, state rooms and halls are on the upper level and can be viewed if you pay a little extra. Nearly all of the complex is in the Mudéjar style (Moorish-inspired architecture for non-Islamic buildings) and was developed by Pedro the Cruel during the 14th-century.There are small glimpses of the original Almohad palace on the Patio del Yeso, for instance.
- On a visit you’ll walk from courtyard to beautiful courtyard, look up at carved coffered ceilings and surround yourself in the lush greenery of the sprawling gardens. Fine views of the grounds can be had from the elevated Grutesco Gallery.
- Back to hotel and overnight stay.

Seville (Full Day Museum Tour)
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Post breakfast, you will go on a full day tour of Museums. These are famous and must visit sites on your travel to Seville.
- Archaeological Museum: This attraction is part of ensemble built for the Ibero-American Exposition, collecting the most important artefacts from the archaeological sites around the Seville Province. The most exciting finds are from the Bronze Age: For example, dating to the 8th century BC is Treasure of El Carombolo.
- This hoard belonged to either the local Tartessos Culture that lived on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, or to the Phoenicians. It's a hoard of 21 pieces of gold jewellery, and after replicas had been on display for many years the original items were installed in 2012
- Museum of Arts and Traditions: Also part of the Exposition is this surprisingly diverting museum covering Seville’s traditional industries, households and customs.Here you’ll see everyday items from throughout Seville’s history, including ceramics from the 16th-century and large displays of swords and knives forged in the city.One section leads you through the various workshops relating to Seville’s historic trades, such as tile-making, metalwork, lacework and barrel-making for the local sherry (fino).
- Museum of Fine Arts: Walking around the older parts of the city, the buildings that don’t look Moorish have a highly ornate baroque style. This is because the 17th and 18th centuries were a time of great wealth for Seville, which gave rise to a whole cultural movement. At the Museo de Bellas Artes you can see the painting and sculpture from the Sevillian School.
- Much of the work here is religious and comes from monasteries and convents around the city that were closed down in the 19th-century and brought here. The building is also fabulous, with a series of peaceful courtyards.
- Back to hotel and overnight stay

Seville – Cordoba
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Post breakfast, you will go on a full day tour to Cordoba. Explore the architectural and cultural treasures of Cordoba on a fascinating full-day tour from Seville. Wander the narrow alleyways of the Jewish Quarter and admire the Moorish magnificence of the architecture. Immerse yourself in the religious resplendence of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba and see one of Spain’s few existing synagogues. Delve deeper into the Islamic heritage of the city with an interesting guide and enjoy a stress-free sojourn with a priority access pass.
- Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba: The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, officially known by its ecclesiastical name, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Córdoba dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and located in the Spanish region of Andalusia. The Great Mosque of Cordoba represents a unique artistic achievement due to its size and the sheer boldness of the height of its ceilings. It is an irreplaceable testimony of the Caliphate of Cordoba and it is the most emblematic monument of Islamic religious architecture.
- Alcazar Fortress of Don Pedro: This Alcazar or Moorish fortress is situated to the west of the walled town on the highest point of Carmona. Peter I had it restored in the 13th century, and it became one of his favorite palaces. The Catholic Monarchs erected the circular tower and embellished the royal quarters. This whole complex is accessed by a large double pointed horseshoe arch that still preserves remains of geometric paintings on the intrados of the same. The Lisbon earthquake of 1755 affected him greatly and since then the ruin has been progressive.
- Back to Seville and overnight stay.

Seville – Cadiz
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- While preparing your visit to Seville and your trip to Andalusia, you might not have thought about going to Cadiz. The city is often forgotten in favor of Seville’s more famous neighbors such as Cordoba and Granada. However, the city really deserves a day trip, as it’s only about 1h30 by car from Seville. Here are the best places to visit in Cadiz.
- Cádiz Cathedral- Cádiz Cathedral is a Roman Catholic Church in Cádiz, southern Spain, and the seat of the Diocese of Cadiz y Ceuta. It was built between 1722 and 1838. The cathedral was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931. The Plaza de la Cathedral houses both the Cathedral and the Baroque Santiago church, built in 1635. There are some very beautiful Baroque images. The church is crowned with a dome of golden tiles which gives it an imposing appearance.
- The Plaza de San Juan de Dios- The importance of the new cathedral means that Cádiz doesn’t exactly have a ‘main’ square as such, but it is hard to look past the Plaza de San Juan de Dios when it comes to a major meeting point in this social city. The commercial center of the city since way back in the 16th century, the square opens out onto the harbor and the Atlantic and is home to a fascinating collection of buildings, among them the City Hall and a church that takes the same name as the square, that being the Church of San Juan de Dios. There is also a Burger King, if you’re after a weird juxtaposition of the old and new.
- The Roman Theatre- In Andalusia, the cradle of great artists, art is one of the most illustrious aspects. This is one of the reasons why, since time immemorial, there has been evidence of places in the city of Cadiz destined for the performance of plays. The Roman Theatre of Cadiz was built around 70 BC when Lucius Cornelius Balbo, a friend and adviser to Julius Caesar, decided with his nephew Balbo to extend the urban perimeter of Gades. This is why it is also known as Theatrum Balbi (Balbo Theatre). In this new neighborhood an amphitheater and a theatre were built, the latter being discovered in 1980 under the current El Pópulo district. The building was abandoned at the end of the 3rd century AD and was looted from the following century onwards, although until medieval times the remains of its powerful structure were used as warehouses, stables and dwellings. Another of its functions was to serve as a base for the Islamic fortress, mentioned in sources of the time as the “Castle of the Theatre”, and later reconstructed by Alfonso X “the Wise” after the conquest of the city.
- Tavira Tower - Watch tower from the eighteenth century, situated in the down town and the highest point of the city, turned today into a focal point of cultural interest. The tower has two exhibition halls, the Camera Obscura and the terrace from which you can enjoy wonderful views of CádizIts Cámara Obscura was the first one installed in Spain.
