The Itinerary
Day 1 - Malaga
Discover in this 3,5h private tour the Islamic heritage of Málaga, one of the most important ports of Al-Andalus. Explore the impressive Alcazaba fortress, built by the Hammudid dynasty in the 11th century, admire the Roman Theatre at its foot, and stroll through the historic centre while learning about the city’s strategic role during the Islamic period. Private Airport Pick up included.
Day 2 - Malaga to Seville
Private transfer to Sevill, the vibrant capital of Andalucia.. Enjoy a private guided tour of the Royal Alcázar, a world heritage site celebrated for its exquisite blend of Islamic and Mudéjar architecture. Wander through its lush gardens, tranquil courtyards, and intricately decorated palace halls that reflect centuries of Andalusi art and craftsmanship.
Continue with a leisurely stroll through the Santa Cruz Quarter — once the heart of Seville’s old medina — where winding alleys, flower-filled patios, and inviting tapas bars create an atmosphere of timeless charm. From here, enjoy views over the Wadi al-Kabir River (today’s Guadalquivir) as you explore other vestiges of Islamic Seville, including the Golden Tower and the Giralda, the former minaret of the Almohad mosque of Ishbiliya.
Optional Experience: Enhance your visit with a 1-hour sightseeing cruise along the Guadalquivir River (€18,00 pp).

As you walk, uncover the layered history of this World Heritage site and admire the elegant remnants of Andalusi architecture still visible throughout the city.
Enjoy panoramic views from the Roman Bridge and the Calahorra Tower framing the old city as it once appeared to travelers of Al-Andalus.

Stroll through the Albaicín Quarter (UNESCO World Heritage), the historic heart of Islamic Granada, where the narrow, winding streets still follow the original layout of the Andalusi medina.
As you wander its whitewashed lanes, pause at scenic viewpoints such as San Nicolás Square, offering breathtaking views of the Alhambra framed by the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. Continue along the Darro River, following a picturesque boulevard lined with Renaissance palaces, stone bridges, and remnants of Moorish houses, cisterns, and fortress walls that once defined the vibrant spirit of Al-Andalus.
