Andalucía:
A Place of wonder waiting to be explored
We begin in Granada the last Muslim stronghold to fall to Queen Isabel and King Fernanado in 1492. Explore the wonders of the Alhambra Palace and Gardens and soak in the Moroccan feel of the Albaícin, a labyrinth of narrow streets and exotic shops. Take in the dramatic views of El Tajo Gorge in Ronda from the famous Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) before strolling through this charming white hill town known as the "Spiritual Home of Bullfighting". Absorb the fascinating and visible history of its many inhabitants over the last 2600 years: the Celts, Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors. Experience enchanting Sevilla and its centuries rich legacy as one of the most important cities in Spain with its fragrant orange trees, famous cathedral, sumptuous Alcázar Palace, Moorish roots and passion for flamenco. Step back in time for a day as we walk the footpaths connecting the iconic white washed villages of the Sierra de Aracena and discover its many ancient sites. Indulge in the exquisite beauty of Córdoba, the European Jewel of the Middle Ages; learn about its Roman heritage, renown as an intellectual center and its blending of Moorish, Christian and Jewish cultures.
