Itinerary:

Day 1: Seville

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Seville. On arrival, we transfer to our hotel in aristocratic Jerez de la Frontera – home to sherry making dynasties.

Day 2: Jerez de la Frontera

Today we take the opportunity to explore Jerez. Our guide will offer an insight into its rich cultural heritage, delving into the history and production of its famous sherry wine and bodegas (wine cellars), before allowing your tastebuds to discover it for themselves with a wine tasting at the famous Sandeman winery. We’re in for a real Spanish treat this afternoon, as we enjoy a spectacular flamenco show.

Day 3: Sanlúcar de Barrameda

We start the day with a guided tour of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, situated at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. As well as being known for its stunning beaches, the town showcases ancient churches and breathtaking historic landmarks like the Castillo de Santiago. There’ll be free time in the town – perhaps indulge in one of the many traditional seafood dishes that the province is famous for, before embarking on a relaxing trip on a traditional barge to Doñana National Park. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Europe’s largest nature reserves, Doñana is home to a unique ecosystem of sand dunes, marshlands, and forests. Its proximity to the meeting point between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean seas makes it the perfect breeding ground for an incredible variety of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for a Spanish imperial eagle, or perhaps even the endangered Iberian lynx. After some free time to discover the park, we’ll return to our hotel.

Day 4: Seville

We spend today exploring the capital of Andalucia – and one of the most picture-perfect cities in Spain – Seville. Our walking tour will take us past the wealth of cultural treasures on offer, including the stunning Alcázar Palace, the Gothic cathedral, and the Plaza de España, a grand square built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. In the afternoon, we’ll get to experience it from a whole new angle as we take a boat trip on the Guadalquivir, where we’ll continue to be amazed by these breathtaking sights.

Day 5: Jerez de la Frontera

The day is free to explore. Or you could join an optional excursion to Ronda, an incredible mountaintop city that’s set dramatically over the plunging El Tajo Gorge that divides Ronda in two. This unique city has a fascinating history of bandits, artists, and bullfighting, and one of the most important landmarks – the Moorish palace of Casa del Rey Moro – is built into the cliff face itself.

Day 6: Cádiz

We’ll head to the ancient port city of Cádiz, with time to explore at leisure. We’ll then take a midday boat trip to Rota, a charming town known for whitewashed houses, golden beaches, and a lively central square. Our guided walking tour will take in some of the town’s most important landmarks, including the Castillo de Luna, a fortress built in the 13th century to defend the city. After an afternoon of stepping back in time, we’ll return to our hotel.

Day 7: Jerez de la Frontera, Seville

We transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
