It was from Seville that Christopher Columbus set off on his discovery of the Americas. Discover the city’s architectural richness, from the heights of Muslim art to the Christian imprint, not forgetting the futuristic buildings inherited from the 1992 World Expo.

A sunset kayak ride on the Guadalquivir River in Seville offers a different perspective on the city.

By train, connect Seville to Cordoba in 45 minutes, with the sierras and valleys as a backdrop. Cordoba, an example of tolerance in the 10th century among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, is a city with a unique heritage. Everyone comes to visit the famous Mezquita (Great Mosque), but in the evening, the streets come alive with locals. "Córdoba, mother of the world’s best horses," said Don Quixote. Nothing is better for the evening than an equestrian show at the Royal Stables of Cordoba (dating back to 1570). The experience combines a passion for Andalusian horses with the art of flamenco. A fascinating show for both adults and children. Overnight in a charming boutique hotel with a swimming pool.
