Excursion Seville & casa pilatos tour at Cadiz

The day begins with a panoramic bus tour of the city, past the beautiful Avenida Colón with its typical Sevillian houses; the Golden Tower, a vestige of Seville's Moorish fortifications; and the beautiful Avenida de las Palmeras, where most of the beautiful buildings from the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition are located. You will also see the María Luisa Park with its unique, impressive Plaza España.

Continue the tour with a walk through the winding Santa Cruz neighborhood, a glowing labyrinth of white houses and flower-filled courtyards.

Next stop is a visit to Seville Cathedral, which was built on the site of a mosque and is the third largest in the world. See the numerous side chapels filled with art treasures, including works by Murillo and Goya.

Then we visit Casa Pilatos, This palace dates from the last quarter of the 15th century and springs from the union of the Enríquez and Ribera families. As a result of their most conspicuous members' intense relationship with Italy, throughout the 16th century it underwent deep transformations and became the filter through which the new Renaissance forms and tastes were introduced into Seville. Alterations carried out in the mid 19th century in accordance with the romantic taste complete its picturesque appearance, a harmonious blend of mudejar-Gothic, Renaissance and romantic styles.

After your visit, make the return trip to the ship.
