Description
Seville City, an essential land to know, come to Híspalis.
On the banks of the Guadalquivir River sits the historic city of Seville, capital of Andalusia and province with the largest population and territorial extension, the city is believed to have been founded by the Turdetans who lived in the valley of the Guadalquivir, territory of the ancient Tartessos and from that time and also during the following centuries it has been inhabited by different peoples and cultures.
From the 15th and 16th century onwards, Seville, with its ancient status as a commercial port, was the gateway for all trade with the newly discovered New World and it is this legacy that we would like to show you on this tour.
We offer you a weekend where you can get to know the city, which is home to a large number of monuments and very important buildings, which demonstrate its grandeur as a World Heritage Site.
Strolling through one of the largest old quarters on the European continent, you can listen to the sound of hand clapping and flamenco singing and also fascinate your palate to experience the true meaning of “Andalusian tapas”.
All of this will be combined with a current offer of exceptional gastronomic and leisure experiences and an endless number of surprises so that you and all your companions can live a unique “Urban Adventure in Seville”.
