Tour Details
At the scheduled time, we’ll meet at the main fountain in Plaza de la Encarnación, right in the heart of Seville. Once the group is together, we’ll begin this small-group tour, limited to a maximum of 10 people, the best way to explore the Andalusian capital.
Seville is home to countless monuments and historic buildings that have made it one of the most visited cities in Spain. Its long history and the many cultures that have passed through it have also given rise to fascinating legends that will leave you amazed.
To begin, we’ll stop at Las Setas de Sevilla, also known as Metropol Parasol. Did you know it’s one of the largest wooden structures in the world? We’ll learn all about this modern design and its impact on the city’s urban landscape, admired and criticized in equal measure.
Our tour will continue to the Alfalfa neighborhood, in the heart of the old town, where buildings from the early 20th century welcome us. This area was once a Roman forum and later hosted one of the most important medieval markets on the Iberian Peninsula.
We’ll pass by the Church of El Salvador, a true gem of Andalusian Baroque architecture. Built on the remains of a former mosque in Plaza del Salvador, it is the second-largest church in Seville after the Cathedral. We’ll then admire City Hall before heading deeper into the historic center.
Here, we’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the Cathedral, the Royal Alcázar, and the Archive of the Indies. As we take in these iconic landmarks, we’ll share the stories and secrets behind them.
The tour continues in the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the former Jewish quarter of Seville. We’ll stroll through its narrow streets, admire flower-filled houses, and hear some of the area’s most famous legends, including those of Don Juan Tenorio and Susona.
Finally, after 2 hours, we’ll conclude the tour in the Santa Cruz neighborhood.
