2nd of October 2024: private walking, cycling and food tour of Seville
–
9:30am: be met by your personal local guide at your hotel in Seville to start your day with a private walking tour that will take you to visit its two most impressive World Heritages Sites: the Alcazar or Moorish palace and the Cathedral with its Giralda tower.

You will start your discovery journey by visiting the Alcazar, which is a massive complex of palaces erected in different periods and of breath-taking gardens of different styles. The Alcazar has stunning historical constructions featuring a very particular crossover between Hispanic-Muslim and Christian architecture styles, called Mudejar. This style became very fashionable in Spain in the 14th and 15th centuries amongst the Christian nobility and it reached its maximum splendor in Seville. Another essential part of the Alcazar is the famous house of Trade, which once hosted the offices from where all the commerce with the New World was managed. After enjoying these inner areas, you will be taken to the gardens, which are an exquisite sample of European landscaping from the 16th until the 20th centuries.

Then you will be taken to visit the Cathedral, which is the largest gothic temple in the World and where Christopher Columbus is buried. The Cathedral of Seville was built on a vast extension of land where previously a Mosque had been erected. An important part of the Mosque was preserved and it is now a part of the Cathedral. This makes it a unique construction featuring styles as diverse as Hispanic-Muslim, Gothic, Renaissance, Neoclassical and Baroque. A most important part of the Cathedral is its bell tower known as la Giralda, which is a perfectly preserved Hispanic-Muslim minaret from the period when a Mosque occupied the grounds where the Cathedral stands today. During your tour you will be taken to the top in order to enjoy the wonderful views of Seville that one can admire from there.

12pm: after your introduction to Seville through its most impressive landmarks, walk together with your guide to a nearby e-bike collection point.

12:15pm: upon arrival to the e-bike collection point, collect your e-bikes and helmets and start your cycling adventure through Seville metropolitan areas. You will start your adventure by cycling along the city walls, understanding at the same time the system of gates that the city featured in the Muslim times. Then you will cross the river to discover the grounds where the famous 1992 world Expo was held.

From there, your cycle tour will take you to the quarter of Triana, home of potters, ceramicists, flamenco dancers and bullfighters. It will be in Triana where you will take a stop to visit its local market and have a drink and some tapas there.

Then it will be time to venture into the beautiful park of María Luisa, taking stops to enjoy the beauty of its many colorful constructions dating from the 1920s, being the gorgeous Plaza de España the absolute highlight of the tour.

Finally, you will make your way back along the most beautiful access to the old town of Seville, which is lined up with buildings designed by architects from different countries for the city’s 1929 Iberian-American exhibition.

3:30pm: end of your tour back at the e-bike collection point and rest of the day at leisure.
