About the tour
There is much to cover in our time there but due to the compact Old Town, we can cover most sights on a 2km walking circuit. We explore the Judería (The Former Jewish Quarter) and peek into the Synagogue and then enjoy one of the most emblematic local neighbourhoods and see the typical streets decorated with pot plants and hanging baskets. We pause to contemplate a wonderful living sculpture by Juan Manuel Belmonte which depicts the tradition of floral decoration. On our walking tour, we will also visit a wonderful boutique hotel made out of 2 ancient houses in the Old Town.
The highlight of the trip will be your stroll into the Mesquita or the former Mosque of the mighty Al-Andalus Muslim kingdom. This Mosque was second only to the Great Mosque of Damascus and it is one of the most unique and beautiful buildings in Europe. After your self-guided visit inside, we will make our way to one of our favourite TOMA restaurants before making our way home through the Olive Groves of Andalucía.
