We’re in for a real Spanish treat this afternoon, as we enjoy a spectacular flamenco show.

We start the day with a guided tour of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, situated at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. As well as being known for its stunning beaches, the town showcases ancient churches and breathtaking historic landmarks like the Castillo de Santiago. There’ll be free time in the town - perhaps indulge in one of the many traditional seafood dishes that the province is famous for, before embarking on a relaxing trip on a traditional barge to Doñana National Park. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Europe’s largest nature reserves, Doñana is home to a unique ecosystem of sand dunes, marshlands and forests. Its proximity to the meeting point between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean seas makes it the perfect breeding ground for an incredible variety of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for a Spanish imperial eagle, or perhaps even the endangered Iberian lynx. After some free time to discover the park, we’ll return to our hotel.

We spend today exploring the capital of Andalucia - and one of the most picture perfect cities in Spain - Seville. Our walking tour will take us past the wealth of cultural treasures on offer, including the stunning Alcázar Palace, the Gothic cathedral, and the Plaza de España, a grand square built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. In the afternoon we’ll get to experience it from a whole new angle as we take a boat trip on the Guadalquivir, where we’ll continue to be amazed by these breathtaking sights.

The day is free to explore. Or you could join an optional excursion to Ronda, an incredible mountaintop city that’s set dramatically over the plunging El Tajo Gorge that divides Ronda in two. This unique city has a fascinating history of bandits, artists and bullfighting, and one of the most important landmarks - the Moorish palace of Casa del Rey Moro - is built into the cliff face itself.

We’ll head to the ancient port city of Cádiz, with time to explore at leisure. We’ll then take a midday boat trip to Rota, a charming town known for whitewashed houses, golden beaches and a lively central square. Our guided walking tour will take in some of the town’s most important landmarks, including the Castilla de Luna, a fortress built in the 13th century to defend the city. After an afternoon of stepping back in time, we’ll return to our hotel.
