Journey highlights
-
- SEVILLA
According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilisation. It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the Moors. Its high point in its history was following the discovery of America. - JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA
Jerez de la Frontera, well known for its wines, its horses and its flamenco, preserves a historic centre that has been declared a historic artistic site. One of the noblest towns in Cádiz brings together the splendor of aristocratic palaces with the popular flavor of typically Andalusian houses. - CORDOBA
Cordoba was once the capital of Al-Andalus, the Moslem-occupied territories in the Iberian Penninsula during the middle ages. At the time, it was the most powerful and influential city in Europe. Glorious capital of the western world in the 11th century, Cordoba is not only a convenient stop in central Andalusia, but the essence of Spain–Iberian, Roman, Visigoth, Jewish, Islamic and Christian civilizations, captured in its stones, its monuments and its collective consciousness. - RONDA
Ronda is located amid mountains, on an excellent site halfway between the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga. Its beautiful town centre is arranged on both sides of the Guadalevín river.
Under the Roman Empire, Ronda was a small town; the city of Acinipo was more important. With the fall of the Empire, Ronda began to gain importance, especially during the Muslim period, when it was established as a city. - GRANADA
The Arabs, invading the peninsula in the 8th century, gave it its current name of Granada. It was the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians in 1492, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon.
