Program

Day 1:
ARRIVAL SEVILLE
Arrive at Seville airport and meet with a rent-a-car representative to assist you in picking up the car. Drive to your hotel for check-in and, if time permits, explore the beautiful streets of Andalusia's capital.
Overnight in Seville.

Day 2:
SEVILLE
Discover Seville after a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Visit some of the Andalusian capital’s top attractions such as the Royal Alcazar Palace and the Cathedral – both UNESCO World Heritage Sites – as well as Santa Cruz, its most picturesque old town neighborhood. The Royal Alcazar traces its origins to the 10th century when it became the palace of a Moorish caliph. Over the centuries, it has been expanded with a series of stunning halls, pavilions, patios and gardens in a variety of styles from Moorish and Mudejar to Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. Admire the elaborate arabesque carvings, the ornate tilework and the fine tapestries and paintings decorating the walls. Behold the brilliance of the inner domes of the Hall of Ambassadors and the Patio of Dolls, and wander the tranquil landscaped gardens. Continue to the Cathedral, whose glorious Giralda belfry is Seville’s most iconic symbol. The cathedral began life as a mosque in the 12th century and has since grown to become the third-largest church in the world. Discover the 80 chapels and more than 700 works of religious art, see the amazing gilded altarpiece – which took 80 years to make – and stroll through the peaceful Patio of the Orange Trees. Next, explore lively Santa Cruz, the former Jewish quarter and today the most traditional neighborhood in the old town. It is a warren of whitewashed lanes, alleys, archways and patios, each with a historical tale to tell.
Overnight in Seville.

Day 3:
SEVILLE – CORDOBA – GRANADA (350 Km – 4 hrs)
Bid farewell to Seville after breakfast at the hotel, departing for Cordoba. Discover the old town, which is a delightful UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cordoba was the capital of the Moorish Caliphate of Al-Andalus during the height of its powers and glory, and nowhere is this wealth more evident than in the magnificent Great Mosque, which is now the Catholic cathedral. In the former Jewish Quarter you can visit the 14th-century synagogue. Continue to Granada for check-in at the hotel with the rest of the day free at leisure.
Overnight in Granada.

Day 4:
GRANADA
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before exploring the historic city of Granada and visiting its greatest treasure, the Alhambra Palace. For more than 1,000 years, this ‘pearl set in emeralds’ has stood atop Sabika hill overlooking the city, gaining in importance during the Moorish Nasrid dynasty, which turned the original castle into the palace of today. The royal complex and gardens were built to be 'heaven on earth', with cool patios, fountains, and intricate carvings. Cross the verdant ravine of the River Darro to the historic Albaicin quarter, which has existed since Moorish times and still maintains its original chaotic layout. Narrow cobblestone alleys of tightly packed whitewashed houses snake their way upwards to the various vantage points offering breathtaking views of the Alhambra nestled under the Sierra Nevada.
Overnight in Granada.
