Step away from vibrant Seville and embark on an intimate private tour adventure to the medieval hill town of Arcos de la Frontera, where times slows down. Arcos is one of the famous Los Pueblos Blancos de España.
You’ll discover a captivating village nestled amidst the verdant embrace of the countryside and Sierra de Grazalema mountains. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, a sanctuary of whitewashed houses and cobblestone alleyways, beckons with its promise of serenity and cultural immersion.
If you are driving yourself be warned about Arcos… there is very little parking and very tight fits between buildings on small lanes built in medieval times so it is easy to scrape up a car.
This is why our private tour clients enjoy themselves more as our drivers and guides take away the stress and set the stage so you just enjoy the moments, in style with your favorite people. Your private guide, a seasoned connoisseur of Andalusia’s beauty and heritage, will show you the best of this enchanting gem.
Upon arrival in Arcos, immerse yourself in the town’s labyrinthine streets, where time seems to slow down. Your guide will lead you through the heart of Arcos, the Plaza del Cabildo, a bustling square that pulsates with the vibrant life of the town. Admire the majestic 16th-century Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, its graceful architecture a testament to the town’s enduring spirit.
Climb the ancient Torre de Arcos, a sentinel of the town, and ascend to its summit. Here, the Andalusian landscape unfolds before you in all its splendor, a breathtaking panorama of rolling hills, verdant valleys, and the distant peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema.
Next let your taste buds embark on a culinary odyssey. Indulge in the town’s signature rabo de toro, a slow-cooked oxtail stew that exemplifies the region’s culinary heritage. Or opt for a variety of Spanish tapas. Savor the flavors with a glass of local wine, a harmonious blend of sun-kissed grapes and the terroir of Andalusia. By request we can sometimes arrange a private guitar serenade.
In the afternoon, you can return to Seville directly or first enjoy a private visit to a family-run winery nestled in the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a sanctuary for nature lovers, with a diverse array of flora and fauna, including cork oaks, olive trees, and a variety of birds species. As you stroll through the vineyards, breathe in the intoxicating aromas of ripe grapes and soak in the serene beauty of the surroundings.
After your private tasting visit as the day draws to a close, your private driver will escort you back to Seville, leaving you with a treasure trove of memories and a renewed appreciation for the beauty and cultural richness of Andalusia.
