On this exclusive VIP guided tour, we will travel through the ancient Andalusian kingdoms of Castille and Granada while revealing scenic nature, history, and tradition. The Kingdom of Castille was a large and powerful state on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
We will begin our journey by exploring the Sevillian countryside. Here, we will stop at The Castle of “Las Aguzaderas”, an interesting medieval building located at the old borderline among Catholic kingdom and Moorish kingdom. Its mission was to defend a spring that flowed into the middle of the land on which the castle was built, and which was the water source for the fountain of Las Aguzaderas. This area was an intense war zone between the Moors and the Christians during hundreds of years, and that made water a precious resource. Since the Arab period, this place has olive groves and centennial mills that we will visit! Enjoy some free time to have a nice meal (lunch not included), surrounded by the picturesque white houses.
Let's proceed our trip through the mountains, stopping at the picturesque white village of Zahara de la Sierra, one of the pueblos blancos of Cádiz province. Arriving in the village, you are immediately struck by the sight of the fortress tower sitting on a narrow plateau at the top of the mountain rocks, and the white buildings wrapped around the mountain base!
Time to visit Grazalema, one of the famous white villages of Andalusia, considered by many to be among the most beautiful! We will drive to the Natural Park “Sierra de Grazalema”. You will enjoy a range of amazing landscapes and views over the provinces of Cádiz, Málaga, and Seville, from “Puerto de las Palomas” which is 1357 meters above the sea level. We also get the chance to witness vultures in their natural habitat. These mountains are known as the largest colony of Griffon vultures in Spain.
After lunch, we will leave Grazalema and head to Ronda, on the way we will cross a very beautiful Mediterranean forest full of cork trees and oaks. Where up to this day locals still work with its cattle (Iberian pigs, goats, and cows), to extract honey, cork, aromatic spices or wood.
After an exciting morning, we will reach Ronda, one of the oldest towns in Spain! Ronda, it's unique for its surrounding nature and history. It is built on two separate cliffs. The town is connected by the most famous bridge in Spain, known as “The New Bridge” (Puente Nuevo), even though it was built in the 18th century. Our tour guide will take you around Ronda and tell you about the rich history the city holds. You will have some free time to explore the town's beauty. The drop-off at your hotel is included!
