Seville tour from Marbella & Estepona

Sensational Seville is bursting with world-class attractions. The city famed as the setting of sultry operas is a showstopper. It's a feast of the senses. Pedro, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘People imagine Seville is all sherry-sipping guitarists sitting under the shade of an orange tree. And that's the way it is. You don't visit Seville, you live it.' Star turns on this day trip include the Plaza de España, the Gothic Cathedral and Santa Cruz quarter.You'll kick off with a panoramic bus tour passing the best bits – Torre del Oro, Maestranza bullring and more – with a stop at the Plaza de España. This semi-circular square of wedding cake towers, tiled alcoves and gondolas is so enchanting that it featured as the planet Naboo in a Star Wars film. You can then choose to have a traditional three-course lunch or explore and eat at your own pace, before your guide takes you to the cathedral.Famed for its landmark Giralda – a minaret converted into a belfry – the cathedral is a treasure trove of religious and architectural gems. Pedro says, ‘There's so much to take in, whether it's the Columbus tomb, the Capitol, the Patio de los Naranjos or the gilded skyscraper-like main altarpiece. And, of course, you can climb to the top of the Giralda for the views over the old town.' And last but not least, you'll enjoy a guided walk through the cobbled alleys of Santa Cruz – the former Jewish quarter – admiring its secret patios, walled gardens and laidback atmosphere.
