Granada, picturesquely situated in front of snow-covered mountain peaks, is a symbol of Moorish Spain until 1492. Not only the Alhambra with the Generalife, the former summer residence, but also the Albayzin, the former Moorish quarter, bear witness to the rich cultural heritage of this city. Today’s university city is also considered one of Spain’s intellectual centers.

Numerous aristocratic palaces with lavishly decorated facades characterize the cityscape. We also recommend a visit to one of the most traditional oil mills in Andalusia, followed by an olive oil tasting.

Continue to Jaen, the capital of olive growing. The former Santa Catarina castle, which towers over Jaen above the old town, is now the Parador, one of the most beautiful in Andalusia. Jaén Cathedral is also worth a visit.

Day 8 Seville - Jerez De La Frontera - Arcos De La Frontera
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Seville - Jerez De La Frontera - Arcos De La Frontera

After breakfast at the hotel, continue southwest towards the Atlantic to Jerez de la Frontera, which is nicknamed "on the border" because this is where the border between Moorish and Christian Spain used to run. The town, which stands for rural Andalusia, is known today for its horse stud farms and bull farms, as well as for its typical wines, which were given the name sherry by the English. The Alcázar, a palace fortress from the 11th century and a testimony to the Moorish history of the time with a mezquita and Arab baths, towers over a hill in the city.

During a visit to what is probably the most beautiful "cathedral of wine", as the famous bodegas are popularly known, a leisurely stroll through the warehouses provides an expert introduction to the production of the most famous of Spain’s southern wines and the Andalusian brandy.

Continue to Arcos de la Frontera, an important town in Moorish times and today known as one of the white villages and well worth seeing. Overnight stay and breakfast at the hotel of your choice in Arcos de la Frontera.

12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arcos De La Frontera To Ronda

After breakfast at the hotel, continue via Arcos de la Frontera to the picturesque mountain town of Ronda. Ronda impresses with its spectacular location, the old town reminiscent of the Middle Ages with its numerous bridges, churches and palaces as well as the unforgettable views of the mountainous surroundings from many points in the town. The imposing "Puente Nuevo" bridge, built in the 18th century, offers impressive views into the hundred-meter-deep Tagus Gorge. In addition to a tour of the city, we recommend a visit to the oldest bullring in Spain and the former collegiate church of Santa María la Mayor. Ronda is not without reason the crowning glory of your trip.
