Description of activity:
The tour begins in front of the Melia Sevilla with an offical local English speaking guide and allows attendees to avoid waiting in all ticket lines (if tickets are still available... they can sell out). This walking tour takes place along two of the most important sites in Seville: the Royal Palace and the Santa Cruz Quarters.
The Royal Palace of Seville, Alcazar, is one of the most visited monuments of Spain. The Alcazar was a luxurious and magnificent palace belonging to the Arabic Kings of Seville in Medieval times. It is considered the twin brother of the famous Alhambra palace of Granada. It is now the occasional residence of present kings whenever they stay in Seville.
Santa Cruz District is the name of the old Jewish sector of the city. It is located besides the Cathedral and Alcazar and it is now a quiet pedestrian area with plenty of narrow streets, flowers, chapels and taverns.
Guests should bring bottles of water, a hat, and wear sun cream.
