7 Days

Seville -> Marbella -> Granada

This journey explores Andalusia through its people, landscapes, and traditions. From Seville’s architectural confidence and local tables to the dehesa where Iberian ham is shaped by time, the route follows craft rather than crowds. Sherry culture in Jerez, a gentler rhythm on the Costa del Sol, and a sea-aged wine experience add depth before the journey concludes in Granada, where the Alhambra and Sacromonte bring history and living culture into close conversation.

Day 1

Seville, From Landmarks to Local Tables

Begin in Seville with its defining landmarks, Plaza de España, the Cathedral, and the Royal Alcazar gardens, experienced at an unhurried pace. As evening approaches, shift from monuments to appetite on a tapas crawl that follows the city’s natural rhythm, small plates, thoughtful pours, and the easy cadence of a Sevillano night.
