Cross through the natural border of “Despeñaperros” and get into Andalusia, a region for itself that shows an enormous heritage from a splendorous past until you reach Cordoba.

Set eye upon all of Seville’s most important sites with a panoramic tour of the city. The tour includes a fun photo stop at the magical Maria Luisa Park, a large lush green space large enough to contain two impressive squares, both of which you will visit. The first one is Plaza de España, which boasts beautiful ornate tiles, elaborate redbrick towers, bridges and canals. The second square is the Plaza de America, which is flanked by a number of magnificent neo-Gothic and neo-Mudejar palaces. You will also have a guided tour of the Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its glorious Giralda bell tower, the most emblematic symbol of Seville. As well as the Barrio de Santa Cruz, its most picturesque old quarter, and the old Jewish quarter. It is a labyrinth of whitewashed alleyways, alleys, arches and courtyards, each with a story to tell.

Free lunch and the rest of the day at your disposal.
