Andalucía #2 – Granada, Sevilla & Córdoba

Day 1: Granada (Friday)

Our first stop on this Southern adventure is Granada. Home to the world famous Alhambra palace, a historic gypsy quarter, and peaceful mountain atmosphere. Use your free time to explore the city’s magical wonders.

Important: One of the must-visit spots is the stunning Alhambra, a true jewel of Andalucía. Here’s a pro tip: tickets to this historic wonder sell out very quickly! If you want to explore its enchanting gardens and palaces, be sure to secure your tickets as soon as possible. Please note, it’s important to book your tickets for a time slot between 14:30 and 16:30, as we will be departing from Granada at 18:00.

After our visit to the beautiful city of Granada, we’ll continue our journey to Sevilla! According to legend, this vibrant capital of Andalucía was founded over 3,000 years ago by the Greek god Hercules. Once we arrive, we’ll check in to our hostel and enjoy a relaxing evening with free time. Rest up, because the next day will be all about exploring!

Day 2: Sevilla (Saturday)

After our complimentary breakfast at the hostel we’ll start our official guided tour of historic Sevilla! The local guide will take us through the historic centre, through the winding small alleyways and passing by the Alcázar (which was used to film in Game of Thrones) and the historic Cathedral (which holds the tomb of Christopher Columbus) as well as Torre del Oro and Parque de María Luisa. Finally the tour will end at the Plaza de España (which was used in the filming of Star Wars)!

After the tour, you’ll have free time to enter the monuments, take pictures, wander the city’s cobbled streets, and taste the renowned Sevillian cuisine. You can also join us for an optional Flamenco Show in the evening.
