Andalucía is a fiesta of flamenco, olive groves, sunsets, and savory tapas. Seville was once the gateway to Spain's empire—today it remains perhaps the most beautiful city in Spain. Your private guide leads you ito dazzling historic highlights like the Alcázar Palace & Gardens, featured in Game of Thrones, where Christian and Moorish architecture blend. Marvel at the Santa Cruz district under the soaring Giralda tower and one of the world's largest Cathedrals. After lunch we suggest a magnificent place, where hand-painted ceramic tiles tell the story of every Spanish province outdoors with the legendary Andalusian light.
