This afternoon join the included visit: Cádiz. Depart on foot toward the historic center of Cádiz. Situated at the tip of a narrow strip of land, Cádiz stretches across a coastline of lagoons, beaches, and salt marshes. Once coveted by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and other civilizations, this white city has retained, over the centuries, the nostalgic charm of a lively historic center. The winding streets of the medieval quarter and the more structured layout of the Baroque district give it an undeniable appeal.

Day 6: Seville - Granada - Seville
This morning join the included excursion: Seville Cathedral and the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija. Guided tour of the cathedral, which remains one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Built on the remains of the old mosque, it became, during the Christian era, Saint Mary’s Church and the city’s cathedral. However, it retained its minaret, which later became the famous Giralda we know today, offering a magnificent panorama of the Andalusian capital. Then, visit the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija. A magnificent example of historical Andalusian architecture, built in the early 20th century, it is renowned for its sumptuous interior, which combines Neo-Mudéjar, Gothic, and Baroque elements, and for its remarkable art collection, including Spanish artwork and Roman antiquities. It is also known for its impressive patio, adorned with mosaics, colorful ceramics, and lush gardens, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. Formerly the residence of the Countess of Lebrija, this fascinating place offers a unique insight into the history and refinement of the Andalusian aristocracy.

Throughout the centuries, the monastery has grown and expanded. We will then head to the Wharf of the Caravels, where the great explorer set out on August 3, 1492. Life-size replicas of the famous Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria ships await you.
