Descrição
Seville concentrates in its historic center three of the most relevant monuments of the Hispano-Muslim heritage of Europe, jointly declared World Heritage by UNESCO: the Real Alcázar, the Cathedral of Santa María, and the Giralda. This full-day excursion from Granada allows you to explore them with an expert guide and entrances included, without queues and without the need for additional management, with pickup at the hotel in the center of Granada.
The day starts with the Real Alcázar, the oldest Mudejar palace still in use in the world, with its patios, gardens, and architecture that mixes Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance influences in a single enclosure. From there, the route continues to the Cathedral of Santa María, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, with the climb to the Giralda and its views over the city at almost 100 meters high. The itinerary continues through the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the old Jewish quarter of Seville, with its narrow streets, patios with orange trees, and the footprint of the second most important Jewish community in Spain. The day includes a walk along the Guadalquivir before returning to Granada.
