Day 3 - Sanlúcar de Barrameda

We start the day with a guided tour of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, situated at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. As well as being known for its stunning beaches, the town showcases ancient churches and breathtaking historic landmarks like the Castillo de Santiago. There’ll be free time in the town - perhaps indulge in one of the many traditional seafood dishes that the province is famous for, before embarking on a relaxing trip on a traditional barge to Doñana National Park. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Europe’s largest nature reserves, Doñana is home to a unique ecosystem of sand dunes, marshlands and forests. Its proximity to the meeting point between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean seas makes it the perfect breeding ground for an incredible variety of wildlife - keep your eyes peeled for a Spanish imperial eagle. After some free time to discover the park, we’ll return to our hotel.

Day 4 - Seville

We spend today exploring the capital of Andalucia - and one of the most picture perfect cities in Spain - Seville. Our walking tour will take us past the wealth of cultural treasures on offer, including the stunning Alcázar Palace, the Gothic cathedral, and the Plaza de España, a grand square built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. In the afternoon we’ll get to experience it from a whole new angle as we take a boat trip on the Guadalquivir, where we’ll continue to be amazed by these breathtaking sights.

Day 5 - Jerez de la Frontera

The day is free to explore. Or you may have pre-booked the optional excursion to Ronda, an incredible mountaintop city that’s set dramatically over the plunging El Tajo Gorge that divides Ronda in two. This unique city has a fascinating history of bandits, artists and bullfighting, and one of the most important landmarks - the Moorish palace of Casa del Rey Moro - is built into the cliff face itself.

We’ll head to the ancient port city of Cádiz, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, known for its rich history and culture. After taking in the historic atmosphere, we’ll enjoy an afternoon boat trip across the sparkling Bay of Cádiz to El Puerto de Santa María. This charming coastal town, famous for its golden beaches, sherry bodegas, and historical sites, offers the perfect opportunity for exploration at your own pace.
