A nine-night escorted tour with Explore Worldwide across Andalucia, visiting Malaga, Ronda, Seville, Córdoba and Granada with a focus on Moorish architecture, history and local produce.
Highlights
Visit to Ronda and El Tajo gorge
Olive oil tasting in Sierra de Grazalema
Guided visits to Seville's Alcázar and Giralda tower
Córdoba's Mosque-Cathedral and 14th-century synagogue
Guided tour of Granada's Alhambra and Generalife gardens
This small-group touring holiday begins in Malaga, where the Picasso Museum and pedestrianised streets offer a gentle introduction to Andalucian life. After an easy day settling in, there’s a two-hour drive to Ronda, perched above the El Tajo gorge and split by a bridge that links its 15th-century new town to the Moorish old quarter.
Journeys
The tour continues through the limestone landscape of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, with a visit to an Andalusian farm to taste olive oils from hundred-year-old trees. Seville follows, where the Alcázar Palace and Giralda tower stand as reminders of the city’s layered history under Moorish and Christian rule. Córdoba offers the Mosque-Cathedral, a grand structure combining Islamic and Christian architecture, plus the chance to see a 14th-century synagogue.
Granada rounds off the trip, with time in the Albaicín quarter and a guided visit to the Alhambra and Generalife gardens. The pace allows time to consider the centuries of craft and culture behind these sights. The journey ends back in Malaga, leaving opportunity for a final glance at the fortress or Picasso’s work before departure.
