Day 2: GRANDIOSE SEVILLA & FLAMENCO EVENING                                    

Sevilla is the capital and largest city of Andalucia. Shaped by a half dozen civilizations and reborn in numerous incarnations since its founding over 2000 years ago, Sevilla has never lost its capacity to amaze.Drenched for most of the year in spirit-enriching sunlight, this is a city of feelings as much as sights with different seasons prompting vastly contrasting moods; solemn for semana santa, flirtatious for the spring fiesta, and soporific for the gasping heat of summer.A morning guided tour will reveal the city’s highlights, including the medieval Barrio de Santa Cruz “Juderia” (the Jewish Quarter) a tangle of atmospheric, winding streets and lovely plant-decked plazas perfumed with orange blossom. The main architectural highlight is the mighty Gothic CATHEDRAL, a UNESCO World Heritage site which we will visit today. Sevilla is also renowned as the birthplace of flamenco and Don Juan. Tonight, attend a performance of FLAMENCO before dinner on your own.Overnight in SEVILLA

Day 3: SHERRY TASTING IN JEREZ & PAELLA COOKERY LESSON        

The rolling landscape between Jerez de La Frontera and the Atlantic, known as the Sherry Triangle is ideally suited to raising the grapes that the wineries of Jerez convert into extraordinary sherries and brandies. We start the day with a visit to the stunning CASA DE PILATOS, an early 16th century Golden Age palace, constructed by the Marquis of Tarifa in a mix of Italian Renaissance and Spanish Mudéjar styles.

This morning we will visit the bewitching whitewashed villages and towns of inland Andalusia. Instead of settling on Andalusia’s plains, where they would have fallen prey to bandits, some Andalusian chose to live in fortified hilltop towns and villages. These are known as pueblos blancos (white towns) because they are whitewashed in the Moorish tradition.We will visit first the tiny SETENIL DE LAS BODEGAS, hidden in a gorge of a river, where the houses-caves have rocky, mineral walls and the white town of ZAHARA DE LA SIERRA fanning out below a castle ruin declared a national monument.After some time on your own to enjoy the stunning views over the Andalusia countryside, you’ll experience a home-hosted lunch in a family tavern located in the charming main square of the village.Continue to RONDA for your next two nights at the charming “CATALONIA RONDA” or similar.Dinner is on your own. Overnight stay in RONDA

Day 5: DISCOVER ROMANTIC RONDA                               

Because of its impregnable position on a massive rocky outcrop, straddling a precipitous limestone cleft RONDA was one of the last Moorish bastions, finally falling to the Christians in 1485.The town claims one of Spain’s greatest bullfighting legacies enshrined in the tale of two pugnacious local families – the hard-bitten Romero and Ordonez clans. During your time in Ronda, you will be shown the city where remains of prehistoric settlements dating back to the Neolithic Age still exist and view the spectacular sight of Puente Nuevo (The New bridge), the tallest of the three bridges in Ronda,120 meters above the canyon floor.After visiting Spain’s oldest Bullring you will have the rest of the day on your own for more discoveries maybe visiting the archaeological museum or the stunning Arab baths.
