Seville

Explore the charming and historic city of Seville when your luxury cruise ship docks at nearby Cadiz. It’s a destination that evokes images of traditional Spanish life, whether that’s the flamenco rhythm or the scent of orange blossoms from a pristine garden. The city’s most dominant landmark is the Alcazar fortress, originally built in 913. As time has passed it has been expanded with a mix of Christian and Moorish architecture, while the expansive gardens have been further developed with ornate fountains. Alternatively head to the Cathedral of Seville, the third largest church in Europe. Explore its wonderful artworks and intricate details, and enjoy the views of the impressive La Giralda tower.

Head to the Barrio de Santa Cruz and wander this picturesque neighbourhood known for its winding streets and quaint plazas shaded by trees, and enjoy discovering unique shops and cafes where you can unwind. Or you may wish to take an excursion further afield into the Cadiz countryside to explore a Sherry Bodega, where you can learn more about what makes sherry distinctive and sample some of the fine wines made here.
