Tour Overview
A heady mix of cultures and faiths, dramatic mountain ranges and glorious sunshine make holidays to AndalucÃa a joy.

Step inside the Mezquita at Cordoba and witness this intriguing mosque-cathedral’s cool, graceful beauty. Marvel at Seville Cathedral’s epic proportions and Gothic intricacy. Explore Ronda, a fine example of Andalucia’s whitewashed villages (pueblos blancos). And sample some of Andalucia in a bottle with a tasting of sherry in Jerez.

Granada is a sprawling jumble of old Spanish flair and Islamic-influenced architecture. It has inspired travellers for centuries.
We’ll take a tour of the spectacular Alhambra Palace, known as the ‘Red Castle’ for its russet-coloured stone. The only medieval Arab palace still in existence, it is recognised as one of the Wonders of the World. We also visit the verdant Generalife Gardens. Full of secret corners, trickling fountains and blooming walkways, it’s the beautiful home of the summer palace.

We’ll explore Cordoba today, one of Europe’s most important cities in the 11th century, where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in harmony. Its distinctive landmark, the Mezquita, is one of the largest mosque-cathedrals in the world and remains one of the great wonders and curiosities of Spain.
We love venturing into the oldest part of the city, where cobbled streets open up onto lively squares and beautiful churches tower overhead. Here, you’ll notice the Gothic and Mudejar styles come together. We’ll have a guided tour including a visit to the Mezquita.

On arrival in Seville, our guided tour includes the Alcazar, a former Arabic palace and fortress, and the cathedral, the third largest in the world and burial place of Columbus. The cathedral shares the same site as the Great Mosque and we’ll also see the old Jewish quarter, Maria Luisa Park, and Plaza de España.

This beautiful ancient city was even known to the Romans and today it’s famous for its spectacular setting and impressive medieval bridge that spans the 120km-deep El Tajo gorge.
It’s also the home of modern bullfighting and at the centre of the town you’ll find Spain’s oldest bullrings. The city was loved so much by Orson Welles that his ashes are buried here.
