The capital of Andalusia ~ Seville
Andalusia Tour ~ Seville (Region)
Seville is a city that has left its mark and many people define it as special. This may be due to the grandeur of its monument. Or maybe it's the charm of areas like Triana.
It might be the scent of jasmine in the square, or it might be the Spanish guitar music on the streets. Some say it's a holiday tradition, and many believe the snacks are the real reason.
a monumental city
You can see it with your own eyes just a few meters between the Giralda Tower, the Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Seville. The Giralda is an icon of the city and one of its main charms lies in its views. The views of Seville are fantastic, with courtyards of orange trees typical of Andalusia, and a close-up of the cathedral, the largest Gothic temple in Europe. Visit the Royal Alcázar and you will notice that this extraordinary palace architecture is filled with details. If you visit during the summer, take advantage of night tours and festivals held in the gardens.
Seville's charm goes beyond its undeniable monumentality. It's a city with lively streets and large open spaces, such as the huge Plaza de España, Parque María Luisa and the avant-garde Certas Seville. If you want to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Seville, try tasting tapas in the Old Town and in popular areas such as Alameda, Macarena, Nervion, Los Remedios or Triana. Pickled "pescaíto" (fish), rolls, typical escargots, fino (white wine), manzanilla (sweet wine) or cold beer are a must-have for any tapas outing.

An Ancient Town Built on Cliff Edges: Ronda
Traveling freely in Spain, after leaving Granada, we headed to our next destination, the white mountain town built on sheer cliffs: Ronda, a town that leaves people in awe.
Ronda is a town located in southern Spain, in Andalusia. It is the birthplace of the world-famous Spanish bullfighting. But what is most astonishing is the Puente Nuevo, a bridge spanning two cliffs, with a gorge 120 meters deep. The town is built on the cliffs, divided by the bridge into the old town and the new town.
To capture the spectacular cliffs and the Puente Nuevo from above, you can walk down a winding path along the river valley to reach the best photography spot. However, the vantage point is also on a cliff edge, so you need to be very careful when taking photos.
Besides the cliffs and the Puente Nuevo, the Ronda Bullring is also a must-visit. This circular bullring, built of stone, is the oldest in Spain and is quite a sight to behold.

incredible church
Andalusia Tour ~ Seville
Seville is full of incredible churches. If you're in the area and willing to spend 4 euros, go for it.
The church is small, but its shape and decoration make it unique and special. It has an almost circular, symmetrical plan, rather than being rectangular like other churches. The symmetrical space under the beautiful vaults is decorated with exquisite Baroque altarpieces. The decor is so gorgeous and impressive.
This alone is worth a visit.
Of course, don’t expect a grand church with different chapels and spaces. The church is visible at a glance. If you don't know it clearly, it might disappoint you. The church is a bit far from the cathedral and the Alcazar area.

One of the top three attractions in Cordoba
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
Jardines del Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos is an ancient fortress steeped in history, a fortified palace complex that is all about the gardens. The castle is not very impressive and the grandeur is easily forgettable. However, the gardens and swimming pool are very pleasant. Apart from this, a hall dedicated to Roman mosaics was found on site, which was okay, and there are a large number of structures still in ruins with stray cats running around on them. Another plus is the amazing view over Córdoba from the tower. Excellent value for money. It is the second most important attraction in Cordoba after the Mosque of Cordoba.

The tranquil yet gorgeous palace
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
It was once an official royal residence, but is not as impressive as other castles in Spain. First you can see some Roman mosaics, which are well preserved on the walls of the gallery. You can climb the walls and towers to admire Córdoba’s skyline. Although the line to enter the tower was long, it moved quickly. Finally, take a stroll among the orange trees and pools. There are few flowers and it may be too hot for them, but the whole garden has a peaceful atmosphere.

Private garden in the palace
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
During our visit to the Alcázar, we saw several attractions inside, such as this Moorish courtyard located on the west side, next to the Tower of the Inquisition. On the terrace we can see a fountain with water and two ponds or basins on either side. The courtyard also has its appeal, as it is in the style of an Andalusian garden, with orange trees, lemon trees and fragrant jasmine flowers hanging on the walls. Another place to visit without any rush and enjoy it.

Córdoba's only bridge for centuries
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
One of my favorite places in Córdoba is the riverbank and the ancient Ponte Romano (Bridge of Rome). We walked to the other side of the Guadalquivir River. Incredibly, the original bridge was built in the 1st century BC and it was the city's only bridge until the 20th century. Of course, it has been rebuilt several times over the years. It is 247 m long, about 9 m wide and has 16 arches. What a great experience! This is a footbridge with one end close to the Mezquita, where we started. I could stay there for hours. If you're in town, don't miss it!

Interesting insights into ancient baths
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
This is a unique place to learn about how Arabs live and take care of their bodies in Spain. Hygiene, relaxation and spirituality are also transmitted through the body. It is undoubtedly an archaeological site that deserves admiration, however, does not objectively offer anything exciting compared to other similar sites in Andalusia. In fact, the existing structures and findings are very one-sided, cover multiple eras, and are not easy to read. However, this problem can be greatly mitigated through the Reconstruction, Settings, Model and Illustration panels. At three euros per ticket, don't miss out.

I prefer it to the Madrid Prado!
Andalusia Tour ~ Córdoba
The museum houses a large collection of works by Julio Romero de Torres and others, perfectly bridging the gap between modern and classical art. The museum is quick to visit and is adjacent to another gallery with more of his work, which requires a separate ticket. Although part of the gallery was closed, overall it was a quick but worthwhile visit. If you are an art lover, this is a must-see when visiting Cordoba. This is the painter's home and you can see part of the original home when you visit. Admission is free, the staff are very friendly and it's not crowded with tourists.
