DAY 3 SEVILLE

Today we include an excursion to the beautiful city of Seville, the regional capital of Andalucia. Take a stroll along citrus-lined streets, admire mighty churches, and visit the Alcazar, the royal palace built on the site of a Moorish fort. Along the way, we will be tasting a ‘cortadillo’ a sweet made in convents throughout the province of Seville. Then you could choose to head to the Plaza de Espana, a semi-circular complex which is home to monumental staircases, fountains and a beautifully tiled alcove for each of Spain’s provinces. If you’re feeling peckish, be sure to dip into some of the many tapas bars here. (B,L,D)

Andalucia was a hugely significant location for Christopher Columbus, and the aptly named Columbus Trail pinpoints the main sites connected with this great explorer.

ROOM UPGRADE

Call to speak to one of our Holiday Advisors about a room upgrade.

As we’re so close to the border with Portugal, we have the ideal opportunity today to join an optional excursion to Tavira, on the beautiful Algarve. The town’s origins date back to around 2000 BC but, in 1755, virtually all of its buildings were destroyed by an earthquake. However, it was rebuilt and is now home to fine 18th century architecture displaying Roman, Arab and Christian influences, as well as 37 churches. On our visit, we can admire the Roman bridge which spans the River Gilao, stroll along the river bank, or perhaps enjoy a refreshing drink and lovely views from one of the pavement cafés. (B,L,D)

If relaxing by the hotel or seaside is not for you today, then why not join our optional excursion to Huelva, perhaps one of the oldest settlements in Spain, with a history dating back more than 5,000 years. This evening, we’ll gather as a group to enjoy a farewell get-together before dinner. (B,L,D)
