Today's included excursion is to Seville. In this city of sleepy squares fringed with orange trees, see the huge cathedral, the Giralda Tower and the exquisite Moorish Alcazar. Stop for tapas and a glass of fino (payable locally) in one of Seville's many tapas bars.
3
Relax today, or join our full-day optional excursion to Cordoba. This elegant, former Roman and Moorish capital of Spain has at its heart the breathtaking Mezquita - the huge Mosque into which the Christian cathedral has been incorporated. After a guided tour of this magnificent edifice, you're free to explore the narrow lanes and corridors of the nearby ancient Juderia.
4
On today's excursion you'll travel, through a countryside dotted with villages of whitewashed houses, to stunning Ronda. Set above the dramatic El Tajo gorge, which cuts a swathe through the sierra, this once-Moorish citadel is a maze of narrow streets with fine Renaissance houses, a historic bull-ring and - across the Puente Nuevo bridge which spans the gorge - fascinating Roman-style baths.
5
Today we'll journey to the great city of Granada. Set atop three hills, this former Moorish capital is one of Spain's greatest treasures. Enjoy a guided tour of the awe-inspiring Alhambra, the beautiful formal gardens and walled settlement crowned with the one of the world's finest Moorish palaces.
