Activities

Departure by coach for the excursion to Seville. We will begin the tour at the Plaza de España, decorated with azulejos and built especially for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The square forms a semicircle 200 meters in diameter, symbolizing Spain... more+ welcoming its former colonies. It faces the Guadalquivir River, representing the path to the Atlantic Ocean and America. A single building runs along its entire curved side. In the center of the square is a fountain (designed by Vicente Traver, a Valencian architect). Between the center and the palace are semicircular canals, spanned by four bridges, representing the four former queens of Spain. You will continue the tour through the charming Santa Cruz district, where it is very pleasant to stroll past the typical Sevillian flower-filled patios. Formerly the Jewish quarter, located within the old city walls, it is part of the historic heart of the city and is adjacent to the most famous monuments of the Andalusian capital. A place of art and history, the district dates back to the Middle Ages and is steeped in legends, churches, and palaces that bear witness to its past. Developed in the early 20th century, it is now one of Seville's most iconic neighborhoods. It is particularly renowned for its charming steep streets and shaded squares. Next, discoverthe Alcazar, home to the King of Spain and one of the oldest royal palaces in Europe. A fortress and Moorish residence,the Alcazaba (the old Arab quarter) is a sublime example of the Mudejar style, showcasing a masterful combination of Moorish techniques and Christian symbols. Finally, you will end this comprehensive tour of Seville with a visit to its cathedral, one of the last Gothic-style cathedrals. The building was constructed on the site of an Almohad mosque, with the aim of symbolizing, through a prestigious monument, the prosperity of the Andalusian capital, which became a major trading city after the Reconquista. Return to the ship at the end of the morning. NOTESThe order of visits may be changed.Times are given as a guide only.Please wear comfortable walking shoes.Appropriate attire is required for the cathedral.

The bell tower outside was probably built over the mosque's minaret. The rectangular temple has five naves and houses a latin cross structure. Afterwards, we'll discover the Alcazar which still displays a large amount of features from its early construction in the 12th century by the Almohads. After the city fell into the hands of Alfonso X, it became the house of Sevillian Caliphs and the headquarters of Christian governers. We'll return on board.

The streets of the Jewish Quarter branch out from the great mosque and emerge onto peaceful plazas. The ruins of Medinat al-Zahra, to the west of town, stir the imagination with its mystery and grandeur. We'll have lunch in a local restaurant.
