 With
its foundations in Roman, Moorish, Jewish, and Christian
civilizations, Andalucía is a diverse cultural center. In Seville,
Andalucía’s dazzling capital city, visit the awe-inspiring Cathedral
of Seville, the largest of all Roman Catholic cathedrals and the
world’s largest medieval Gothic religious building. Marvel at
impressive Moorish architecture with a visit to the 14thcentury
Alcázar of Seville royal palace. The journey proceeds to the Moorish
jewel of Granada, which is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. You’ll experience the serene beauty of the Alhambra — a
Moorish fortress and royal palace. Next, learn about the region’s
ancient history at Carmona, and in Córdoba’s unique mosquecathedral,
the Mezquita, the crowning symbol of this crossroads of
civilizations. Then, enjoy a taste of the local sherry at Jerez, and
visit Arcos de la Frontera, one of Spain’s quaint pueblos blancos,
or white villages. Experience a special cultural immersion and
explore Spanish culture and traditions, including flamenco dancing
and cooking.
