SEVILLE
Andalucía’s
largest city offers a wealth of sights and draws many visitors
every year. Situated on the banks of the Guadalquivir, Seville
is surrounded by a patchwork of olive groves and wheat fields.
In the city itself the main attractions are all closely located,
making for some interesting tours. The city centre is dominated
by the Cathedral and Giralda tower. Close by there are the Alcazar
gardens of the Moors, the famous Toro Del Oro, and the Maestranza
bullring. Flamenco also has strong roots in Seville. There are
many concerts on throughout the year and depending on your budget,
you can find the perfect show. We want to offer you a unique
experience of Seville that you´ll never forget.
GRANADA
Located
at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Granada is home to the
impressive Alhambra palace that overlooks the city. From the
north the Sacromonte hills sit above the city, the caves found
here were once lived in by the large gypsy community of Granada.
From high peaks, to fertile valleys, there are some challenging
and enjoyable locations in the nearby Sierra Nevada. In the
city itself there are many churches, monasteries and chapels
from different eras for you to enjoy. Granada has a diverse
mix of cultures, which in turn presents lots of different places
to eat, drink, and enjoy music. It´s also famous for its
unique take on tapas, for each drink you order, free tapas is
provided in many of the traditional bars. With us you can have
a perfect introduction to the ancient city of Granada.
CORDOBA
Once
the capital of the Moorish Kingdom, Cordoba is another Andalucían
city steeped in tradition and beauty. Home of the Mezquita mosque/cathedral,
it was once a strategic outpost as one of the most important
trade routes for the Romans. The famous bridge, El Puente Romano,
Calohorra Fort, and medieval Jewish quarter all add to its unique
charm. The city walls that enclose much of the old town have
a big part to play in its history. One section encloses the
old Jewish quarter, another has the quaint Seville Gate, and
finally the Alcazar Gardens bring it to the Guadalquivir River.
From fine art museums, to palaces, to flowered patios, Cordoba
truly is the Jewel in the Andalucían crown. Hopefully
we can acquaint you perfectly with the impressive city of Cordoba.
JEREZ
Famous
for its Sherries, horses, and wines, Jerez de la Frontera has
been influenced by a wide range of cultures that are still evident
today. Settled on the banks of the Guadalete river in the fertile
plains, it is a short distance from the Atlantic beaches and
Gaditana mountains. In Jerez itself there are many visitor attractions
such as the Old Centre, with lots of churches and ancient buildings.
With horse and flamenco festivals Jerez de la Frontera has very
lively feel to it. There are also the Arab Baths, Cathedral
San Salvador, and a famous clock museum featuring timepieces
from the sixteenth century onwards. If it is world famous equestrian
shows, museums, or food and drink tours you want, then Jerez
is waiting just for you.
CÁDIZ

With
origins dating back three thousand years, this is a truly historical
city. Situated on a peninsula the city is famous as the launching
point for discovering new territories to the west in the sixteenth
century. During this golden age this city became the richest
in Europe. The narrow cobbled streets open out on to some of
the most picturesque plazas in the Old Centre, and many of the
buildings are also dated from this time. The impressive cathedral
is the most prominent monument in Cadiz. It also houses the
tomb of Manuel de Falla, a famous musical composer native to
Cadiz. With an archaeology and fine arts museum, the Oratorio
de Santa Cruz, and Iglesia San Felipe Neri, there are plenty
of sights to visit here. For a relaxing cultural experience
close to the beach, Cadiz has it all.
