To complement our travel itineraries, this section gives more background information about places to visit in Andalucía. This includes the “main sights” like the Alhambra, Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and Seville Cathedral, as well as some of the neighbourhoods, towns and villages with most character.
It really is a case of “the more you look, the more there is to see”. Even after 20 years in Andalucía, we keep finding new places to visit – be it a whitewashed village, olive mill, speciality museum, viewpoint, traditional bar tucked away in a side-street or hiking trail. We really want to encourage you to go beyond the most obvious destinations and explore Andalucía, so we’ll be adding some lesser-known sights to this section as well. Make sure to check back regularly.

Santa Cruz
Just a stone’s throw from the cathedral and the Royal Alcázar, Seville’s Santa Cruz district is often referred to as the judería – or Jewish quarter. The main attraction is exploring the narrow, winding alleyways and quaint squares planted with jasmine and orange trees.
-
Seville Cathedral
Officially called the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, Seville Cathedral is one of the world’s great religious monuments. Although it still retains a few structures from the Muslim period, most of the cathedral was built in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Triana
Until 1852, Triana on the “other” side of the River Guadalquivir was only connected to the city centre by a pontoon bridge. The district therefore developed its own colourful character.
