Our Malaga city tour starts with the Old Town, Malaga Cathedral and its surroundings, Calle Marques de Larios street, botanical gardens, and old Malaga streets, then we continue to Ronda. Built on rocks, Ronda is one of the last castles left by the Arabs to the Spaniards under the jurisdiction of Malaga. This old town is built on top of a large rock. You will have the chance to take photos amidst magnificent views. Ronda both impresses and enchants. After our visit to Ronda, we head towards Seville. Upon arrival, evening dinner and accommodation.

After breakfast, our city tour of Seville begins. We will visit the Plaza de Espanya, Maria Luisa Park, and the Seville Cathedral (panoramic view), which was originally a mosque converted into a church and, through centuries of additions, has become Spain's largest cathedral, with its courtyard still standing. Also included is the Giralda minaret, originally the mosque's minaret and now a bell tower. After completing the city tour and visiting the Plaza America and the Museum of Fine Arts, we head towards Cordoba, the former capital of Andalusia. Upon arrival in Cordoba, we will see the Roman bridge, the Guadalquivir River, and enter the old city through the Roman Gate. We will admire the Great Mosque of Cordoba, one of the main masterpieces of Islamic architecture from the Umayyad period, featuring 850 columns; although part of it was converted into a cathedral after the fall of Andalusia, it still retains its grandeur. We will also explore the Jewish Quarter and the Synagogue of Cordoba, built in Andalusian architectural style. Walking through the old streets of Cordoba, we will see statues of famous Andalusian emirs and sections of the city walls that have survived to the present day. Afterward, passing by the ancient libraries along the Guadalquivir River, we depart for Granada. Upon arrival, we will have dinner and spend the night.
