Description and schedule of services

3rd of June: private transfer from Faro to Seville and introductory flamenco and tapas tour of Seville old town

Time TBC: meet your personal driver at your accommodation in Faro and be transferred in a modern and comfortable Mercedes minivan to your accommodation in Seville.

2,5h later: arrival to your accommodation in Seville and free time to check-in, have lunch and freshen up before your evening flamenco and tapas tour of the city.

6:30pm: meet your personal local host at your accommodation to start a guided walk towards a selected flamenco venue in Seville old town. This introductory walk is aimed at learning how flamenco emerged from South West Spain as a result of a slow fusion of the ancient multicultural musical heritage of Southern Spain with the original gypsy rhythms and musical roots. This will set the context for (and enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of) the flamenco performance in a small and intimate venue that will follow, with 4 people on stage (one singer, one guitarist and two dancers).

7:30pm: start of the flamenco performance.

8:30pm: after your flamenco performance, enjoy a tapas tasting tour through Seville old town. Your tour will take you to 2 – 3 selected tapas bars where the locals like to gather with family and friends and where you will taste a selection of 6 – 9 local dishes to share and up to 4 drinks per person (wine, beer, refreshments, water). This will make an excellent opportunity to learn about Southern Spanish gastronomy, about the connection of different foods to different festivities, regions and specific periods of history and also about the dynamics of tapas bars in Southern Spain.

10:30pm: after your tapas and wines adventure, be escorted back to your hotel stopping along the way for a sweet local treat.

11pm: arrival to your hotel and end of services for the day.
