Group Tour Operator for Holidays to Seville, Spain

Travel to Spain

Fly from the UK to Seville. Upon arrival in Spain, board your private coach transfer to your hotel, your base in Seville for the next three nights.

In the evening, if time permits, why not head into central Seville and wander the maze of streets of the old town. Flamenco music fills the air and locals are known to burst into song and dance the famous flamenco in the streets at the drop of a hat. Feast on tasty & traditional tapas in the numerous bars and bodegas.

Historic Seville

Today, enjoy a guided tour of Seville and explore the Andalucian capital. You’ll be led through the maze of the historic streets of the Santa Cruz district, the old Jewish Quarter. In the heart of the city, you’ll easily spot Seville’s imposing Cathedral, the largest in the world and largest Gothic building in Europe. With a fabulously ornate golden alter, it is home to the tomb of navigator Christopher Columbus and is not to be missed. Here, the Giralda minaret, the city’s famous bell tower, affords great views over the city and for the brave, you can even tour the cathedral roof!

In the afternoon, visit the exquisite Royal Alcázar of Seville. A royal palace originally developed by Andalucia’s Moorish kings, it mixes sumptuous Islamic architecture with colourful, medieval Spanish design. See the impressive plaster-work, colourful tiles, quaint pools and beautiful walled gardens as you trace hundreds of years of history.

Along with the Archivo de Indias, these buildings form a remarkable monumental complex and a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the heart of the bustling town.

Seville Sightseeing

After breakfast, why not head to the Parque de Maria Luisa to discover the beautiful Plaza de España. Built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, it is an architectural marvel with fountains, mini-canals and maps depicting each of Spain’s provinces and one of the city’s most notable icons.

In the afternoon, a range of possible activities awaits. Why not discover the 17^th century neo-Gothic Basilica of the Macarena, the third largest temple in the world? Perhaps head down to the mighty River Guadalquivir, the lifeblood of the city. Take a cruise on the river or enjoy a scenic stroll along the riverbank past the Torre del Oro, a favoured pastime of the Sevillanos.

Alongside the river lies the famous Real Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza. Seville’s imposing, whitewashed bull ring affords visitors a behind the scenes glimpse into the history and flair of bullfighting and even allows you to enter the ring in one of the world’s largest and most famous bullrings.

Alternatively, get a glimpse of modern Seville’s contrasts at the Metropol Parasol. Known by the locals as ‘Las Setas’ (The Mushrooms), the innovative building affords fantastic views over the city, including the adjacent historic sail-covered narrow streets, filled with long standing boutiques and shops, such as the famous La Campana bakery.

¡Hasta luego Sevilla!

After breakfast, it’s time to check out of your hotel. If time permits, why not enjoy a little time purchasing some last minute souvenirs before boarding your coach transfer back to the airport for your return flight back to the UK.

Cordoba or Málaga

Why not add an additional day to explore Cordoba? It is easily accessible from Seville by the high-speed AVE train, taking around 40mins. Home to La Mezquita (Grand Mosque), the design, with nearly a thousand arches and columns, is mesmerising. The Torre del Alminar is a 54m-high bell tower. You can also discover the fascinating history and shows at the Spanish Royal Riding School.

If flying to/from Málaga, why not spend some time discovering the bustling port town, with its imposing cathedral and maze of streets in the vibrant old town. See the Alcazaba standing atop Gibralfaro Hill or spend your Euros in the swish shops down the picturesque Calle Larios.
