About The Event

Here you can read the full exciting itinerary (Could change depending on season):

Day 1 - Malaga airport – Cordoba

Upon your arrival at Malaga airport you will be greeted in the arrivals by Andalcuian Routes. Once the group has gathered you will be transferred to Cordoba, the legendary Muslim city that was the Capital of al Andalus (approximately 2 hour drive). Upon arrival we will check into the hotel. There will then be time to freshen up before a short briefing and introduction, followed by a short evening stroll in the city (evening stroll to be confirmed).

Day 2 - Cordoba

After breakfast we will take a guided tour of Cordoba Mosque, one of the most important and largest Mosques in its time. After taking lunch we take a walk through the old Jewish quarter and then across the old Roman bridge for a visit to a fantastic interactive Museum on Islamic Spain (approximately 4-5 hours). In the evening we will be visiting local Spanish Muslims on their farm in Almodovar for dinner.

Day 3 - Cordoba – Seville

After breakfast we will leave for Seville stopping on the way at the archaeological site of Madinat al Zahra. The city built by the Caliph Abdul Rahman III. Here we see the Palace ruins and take a visit to the new exhibitions and museum (approximately 2.5 hours). We will then continue to Seville (approximately 2 hours drive). Upon arrival there will be free time to explore the city.

Day 4 - Seville – Granada

After breakfast we will take a guided visit to Seville’s historic center which will include the Royal palaces and gardens built for a Christian king in Islamic Architecture and its Giralda Tower, once the biggest Minaret in the world. It is said the Muezzin used to ride up on a horse to call the Azan (approximately 2 hours). We will then depart for Granada, the last Muslim Kingdom which held out for 250 years before the inevitable fall in 1492 (approximately 3 hours drive). Upon arrival we will check into the hotel and freshen up before a quick city tour of Granada.

Day 6 - Granada – Alpujarra – Granada

We will have a chance to interact with the local Muslim community while having dinner at a Muslim restaurant run by Spanish Muslim revert(approximately 4-5 hours). We will then return back to Granada.
