On the banks of the ancient Betis, which the Arabs called the “Great River” (Guadalquivir), rises one of the most beautiful cities in the world: Seville. The Andalusian capital is a city that envelops and captivates visitors with a blend of beauty and emotion. Its monuments, such as the imposing Gothic cathedral, the epicenter of one of the largest historic centers in Europe, are the perfect backdrop for a city that enjoys its streets like no other.<\/p>\n
To make the most of our stay in Seville and our visit to Do\u00f1ana National Park, Enjoy Catalonia has designed a comprehensive plan with several guided walks<\/strong> through the neighborhoods of Santa Cruz,<\/strong> Seville’s most touristy and historic district, where we can admire some of the city’s most beautiful corners; Triana,<\/strong> where the Guadalquivir River flows through its colorful streets; La Macarena,<\/strong> one of Seville’s most traditional neighborhoods, where everything revolves around its two most recognizable icons: its gate and its basilica; Plaza de Espa\u00f1a,<\/strong> built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition and a symbol of Hispanic culture; and Mar\u00eda Luisa Park<\/strong> , one of the most beautiful parks in Spain.<\/p>\n Guided tours of the Cathedral<\/strong> , the third largest church in the world and the largest Gothic cathedral; the Giralda<\/strong> , the most beautiful vantage point from which to admire Seville; the Royal Alc\u00e1zar<\/strong> , a splendid palace complex where you can admire buildings of various architectural styles united by beautiful gardens; the Torre del Oro<\/strong> , on the banks of the Guadalquivir River,<\/strong> a beautiful watchtower and home to the Naval Museum of Seville; the Metropol Parasol,<\/strong> also known as Las Setas (The Mushrooms), a curious wooden structure with a walkway-viewpoint from which you can enjoy some of the best views of the city; and the Palace of the Due\u00f1as,<\/strong> owned by the House of Alba and birthplace of the great poet Antonio Machado, whose childhood was filled with “memories of a Seville patio…”<\/p>\n And an exclusive day trip (8 hours) to Do\u00f1ana National Park in a 4×4 with expert guides:<\/strong><\/p>\n Our first stop will be the Sevillian town of Puebla del R\u00edo,<\/b> at the gateway to the Do\u00f1ana<\/b> marshes<\/strong> . Bisected entirely by the Guadalquivir River, this municipality boasts one of the best-preserved wild olive groves in the area, the Dehesa de Abajo, which is home to the largest colony of white storks in Europe. The area also features the largest rice-growing region in Spain by planted area, and the most productive thanks to the high summer temperatures and the abundant water available from the Guadalquivir. Its unique geography and landscape have served as the backdrop for such famous films as the award-winning Isla M\u00ednima.<\/p>\n Leaving the rice paddies behind, we’ll continue our tour to the northern part of Do\u00f1ana National Park,<\/b> where we’ll stop to visit the village of El Roc\u00edo,<\/strong> famous throughout Spain for its pilgrimage. This village evokes a bygone era in Andalusia, recreating a typical Andalusian atmosphere from centuries past, like stepping back in time, with its sandy streets traversed by horses and people on foot.<\/p>\n After exploring the village of El Roc\u00edo, we’ll visit the Acebr\u00f3n Palace<\/b> next to the Rocina Stream<\/b> and discover another of Do\u00f1ana’s ecosystems: the gallery forest<\/b> . We’ll take a circular hiking route, interpreting animal tracks and learning about some of the endemic plant species of this natural environment. After completing the trail and taking a short break for lunch, sampling the local cuisine<\/b> , we’ll head to the next ecosystem on our tour: the beach<\/strong> .<\/p>\n Stretching over 30 kilometers, Do\u00f1ana beach is the<\/strong> longest unspoiled beach in Spain,<\/strong> reaching from the famous town of Matalasca\u00f1as to the mouth of the Guadalquivir River opposite the coast of Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda.<\/p>\n A pleasant and comprehensive trip to discover and enjoy Do\u00f1ana and the capital of Andalusia, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.<\/p>\n MINIMUM GROUP SIZE 15 PEOPLE AND MAXIMUM 25<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the banks of the ancient Betis, which the Arabs called the “Great River” (Guadalquivir), rises one of the most beautiful cities in the world: Seville.
