| ACCOMPANYING PERSONS PROGRAM
All registered accompanying persons are invited to join the following TWO half-day
tours, Seville
City Tour
Take
a stroll around the San Bartolomé quarter, which was the most authentic and popular
Jewish quarter of Seville. And after visiting the cathedral, one of the largest
in Christendom, and the Reales Alcazares, an impressive series of buildings built
in the 10th century enclosed by a wall, you can restore your energy going on a
tapa tour, the custom of strolling from one eatery to another and enjoying delicious
morsels of food. It is not just a pleasure, but an authentic ritual!
Ancient
City of Carmona Drive to Carmona (30 km from Seville).This unspoiled Andalusian town of Roman and Moorish origin is well worth a visit to enjoy its wealth of Mudejar and Renaissance churches and its streets of whitewashed houses of clear Moorish influence. Visit the headquarters of the "Ruta Betica-Romana", which traces the ancient Roman route through eight Andalusian townships in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba and Cadiz. Visit Carmona's most splendid monument - its Roman Necropolis (one of the largest in Spain), and enjoy the Puerta de Sevilla gate, the San Pedro fortress and the town museum. Both tours depart from the Hotel Alfonso XIII at 09.00, returning at approximately 13.00. |

We
start the visit in the Santa Cruz quarter with its balconies and flowers and peaceful
interior patios which inspired the well-known Zorrilla to write "Don Juan
Tenorio". Walk along Calle Judería, Callejón del Agua, Plaza Doña Elvira
and Plaza Santa Cruz and see the Hospital de los Venerables, the convent of San
José and Murillo gardens. Its streets intertwine with the walls and gates
of the Reales Alcazares. The cathedral with the Giralda tower marks the start
of the 
eastern
edge of the quarter. In this thick maze of streets you will also see the Archivo
de Indias and the old port with the Torre del Oro and the Hospital de la Caridad.
