The Best of Andalusia

Description

This offer includes 6 overnight stays with breakfast in a 4*-Hotel in Seville. The quoted prices are per person in double room, a single room can be booked at an additional cost. This hotel is in a sense your "base camp", there is no need to constantly pack and unpack your suitcases and change of hotel and you will still enjoy during your stay the sights of all Andalusia.

All hotels are located in the city center and easily connected by public transports. The provider will choose the best option for you depending on availability at the time the reservation is confirmed, for this reason we are unable to inform you upfront which hotel will be, however you may fill in your preferences in the comment field, i.e. if you prefer modern facilities to a more centric location or vice versa, etc. In any case this package means a substantial saving for you compared to the separate rates of its components.

Day Trip Granada, Alhambra and Generalife (included): You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning between 6:15 and 6:45 and then travel to Granada. There you will experience a three-hour guided tour of the Moorish palace Alhambra, certainly one of Andalusia's main attractions, and of the Generalife gardens (all entrance fees are included). You then have about two hours of free time in the historic city center, to have lunch, shop, walk, etc. Around 7:30 p.m. you will be back at your hotel in Seville.

Day Trip Cordoba and its Great Mosque (included): takes place from Tuesday to Saturday.
You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning around 8:00 and then travel to Cordoba. During a three-hour guided tour you visit the main attractions, including the Alcázar, Jewish quarter, the Synagogue and of course the Cathedral which was built over the magnificent columned halls of the Moorish Mosque (all entrance fees are included). After the tour you have free time, for example to have lunch. At about 6 p.m. you will be back at your hotel in Seville.

These above mentioned day trips will of course normally not take place on consecutive days, so you can enjoy before and inbetween them your stay in the Andalusian capital Seville in a relaxed way. For this you have the the following tours and packages which are already included in the price at your disposition:

Panorama-Tour Monumental Seville (included): a round trip in a two-storeyed tourist bus (departs every 15 - 30 min) with information on all sights in English (via headphones). During a whole day you can get off and on at all stops as desired, visit a sight individually (or simply take a coffee break) and then continue the journey.

Guided tour in the quarter Barrio de Triana (included, at midday): Triana is considered the perhaps most "typical" part of Seville, here you find regional craft, traditional taverns as well as excellent restaurants. A tour-guide will show you the major attractions.

Guided tour in the quarter Barrio de Santa Cruz (included, afternoon): this is the heart of the historical and monumental Seville, here are the Cathedral with its bell tower Giralda, the palace Alcazar and the former Jewish quarter with its narrow and winding alleys. And of course you find here some of the nicest bars, restaurants and souvenir shops.

Panorama-Tour the vespertine, romantic Seville (included): from sunset, a romantic tour with the two-storeyed tourist bus through the illuminated Seville. Through headphones, you will receive information on all sights in English.

These above mentioned four tours may be consumed in any order and also on any day of your stay, but only within 24 hours. We highly recommend this program for the first day of your stay in Seville, as you will know the city's main attractions and at the same time will be oriented for the next days already. When you start the program you will also receive a map and many useful tips and informations in the city center.

To make your stay enjoyable there are many more "highlights" waiting for you:

Tablao Flamenco - Show and Gourmet-Menu (included): in one of the best Flamenco-locals of Seville and of all Spain. The greatest stars of Flamenco have performed here, among them: Matilde Coral, El Farruco, Manuela Vargas, Cristina Hoyos, Milagros Menjibar, Chano Lobato ... and also the current in-house ensemble offers of course Flamenco at the highest level.
You can choose to dine either before or during the flamenco show which is approximately one and a half hours long. The typical Andalusian gourmet menu consists of two courses, dessert and wine, water, coffee or tea.

Cruise on Guadalquivir river (included): a cruise which takes about one hour with panorama-ships on the river in the heart of Seville. The ships pass along the bullring, the quarter Triana, the buildings of the Expo 92 as well as those of the Ibero-American exposition of 1929, the towers of Plaza de España, and the beautiful historical and modern bridges of Seville. During the cruise you receive commentary in English. The ships operate daily between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m.

These included tours and trips show you what is considered the essential Andalusia. Apart from the two day trips to Granada and Cordoba you stay 5 days in Seville. If you wish, you may add more day trips to your individual package. However, if you wish to add several or all of these trips, we strongly recommend that you also book additional hotel nights in Seville - after all you probably also want to relax a bit during your vacations.
