Itinerary
Day 1
UK to Seville
This morning begin your journey by boarding your international flight to Seville. On arrival you will be transferred by private car to your hotel in the city centre. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the city at your leisure. You may wish to take a wander to the grandiose Plaza de España located in the Parque del Maria Luisa. This extravagant building was created for the 1929 Exposicion Iberoamericana, and whilst it is slightly over the top, it remains an impressive structure with its flamboyant neo-Mudejar architecture, Venetian-style bridges, ceramic tiles and fountains. In the evening you may be interested in visiting a flamenco bar to experience this traditional Spanish dance.

Day 2
Seville
Today you are at leisure to explore the Andalucian capital. We would recommend visiting the Real Alcazar, a magnificent marriage of Mudejar and Christian architecture. This spectacular royal palace is a must-see during your visit to Seville where the complex of rooms boasts airy courtyards, elegant columns, arabesque arches and geometric tiling. The gardens are even more exquisite; take a stroll through the symmetrical groves of orange trees, cypresses and magnolias, or cool off by the beautiful fountains and mirrored pools. You may wish to continue to the Seville Cathedral, one of the world’s largest and most magnificent cathedrals which is also located in the city’s old Jewish quarter. Registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, highlights include the building’s beautiful Gothic architecture, colourful stained glass windows and the Giralda, the mighty bell tower which incorporates the original mosque’s minaret.

Seville
You have another day at leisure to explore Seville or the surrounding area. You may wish to take the easy train journey (c. 45 minutes) to the lovely city of Cordoba which boasts many historical and cultural sites. During your visit to Cordoba we recommend visiting La Mezquita, an impressive mosque from 784 A.D. which is home to Byzantine mosaics and a notable prayer hall, the Roman Bridge of Cordoba and the medieval Alcazar. Alternatively, if you wish to stay in Seville, why not spend the day wandering through the different neighbourhoods and take a stroll to the riverfront where the Guadalquivir River cuts a straight course through the city. Cross the river to the Triana district which is associated with flamenco, tapas and sherry bars. This evening enjoy your chosen opera performance at Seville’s Teatro de la Maestranza.

The seats could not have been better, and the performance was outstanding. We can't thank you enough for making everything hassle free and providing a trip which exceeded our expectations.
