Hello everyone! :-) Back from your summer holiday and already looking for your next break? Here I am! Let's fill ourselves with energy in Spain's beating heart: Andalusia! Absolute beauty, passionate people, splendid weather and mouth-watering gastronomy are awaiting you. As you can see on my profile, I've seen many countries and cities, but Sevilla is probably (one of) the most beautiful I've seen. Flowers, architectural beauties at every corner; so many different styles but such a gorgeous harmony. It's a mix of the Arabian Nights tales and 19-20th century splendour, with a smell of orange tree flowers and incense in the air. And the public parks are to die for... Cordoba is a "small Sevilla" that has a special atmosphere with a blend of Islamic, Christian and Jewish architecture. It is famous around the world for its Great Mosque, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, the Synagogue and the Roman bridge. Its historic old town is a World Heritage site, full of little streets to be explored, courtyards full of flowers, inviting squares and lively taverns where you can enjoy a good flamenco performance or try the local cuisine. I'll also bring you to the gorgeous beaches of Rota to breathe fresh sea air and relax. Located to the north of Cadiz Bay, this small city has long beaches and dune formations, and fishing enclosures (this is a traditional method of fishing which is typical of this area). We'll probably eat in one of the best fish & seafood restaurant located on the small port & marina. The fish cannot be fresher! Yummm... It's fun to know it is home to a major American naval base, so you'll see some American flags!

About me: I'm Damien, your Trip Guardian Angel! I'm a super intuitive organizer, and always know the hidden places to go (and the ones to avoid!), in total fluidity and Connection. When they're travelling with me, people say their soul & heart have been nourished. And is it not the most important thing in Life, after all? I travel to rediscover the feeling of freedom, to nourish open-mindedness, to find inspiration. What I prefer in traveling is the fact that it allows me to deepen my Life knowledge and share human contact. Traveling is my food for the soul! Last but not least, I do love meeting people and sharing simple and deep life moments... and having great fun :-) I'm looking for TripMates who love walking around and enjoy a bit of culture and typical city vibe, but also appreciate more relaxed moments connected to Nature.

SEVILLA: Our hotel has one of the best location in the city. There is an incredible rooftop hangout with stunning views of the cathedral. There are big family dinner parties every night on the roof. • A funky reception lounge, themed on our favourite music and art from around the world. We’ve board games, free computers, free wifi, and someone around 24 hrs a day to help you out. • A fantastic kitchen, with great utensils, lots of cooking space and food storage. • A laidback rooftop garden where we get together for family meals, art nights, great cocktails, drinking games and live music!. We will each have a bed in a 6-Bed Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom. This air-conditioned dorm offers individual storage lockers. Bed linen is included, and the dorm has access to a shared bathroom. Hairdryers are available on request. Expect to sleep like royalty on a luxury hotel standard mattress and pillow, after a great evening & night socializing! CORDOBA: Our hotel is housed in the old Casa Colomera, built in 1928 to serve as a palace for the counts of Colomera. Located in the central Plaza de las Tendillas, the hotel plan aimed to recreate the palatial atmosphere of the old building. It has cosy rooms, a landscaped patio with plunge pool, the El Patio Restaurant serving breakfast in the elegant atrium of the hotel and the El Balcón de Córdoba Rooftop with panoramic views of the city.

Trip Itinerary
1

Seville

Day 1-2
This first day will be like "Bienvenidos". Upon your arrival, we will meet in the old city center, where the journey will begin. In the morning and part of the afternoon, I will show you Sevilla's most emblematic monuments and magnificient parks. A typical lunch will be taken together in one of the city's numerous quality restaurants. The icing of the cake will be the visit of the Royal Alcazar. The Real Alcázar de Sevilla is the royal palace of Seville. The name 'Alcazar' means castle in Spanish and was derived from the Arabic word al-qasr (fortress or palace). The palace complex is in Mudéjar style: an architectural style with many influences from Moorish and Christian cultures. It is probably the oldest palace still in use in Europe: when King Felipe V visited Seville, this palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was still his residence. One of the attractions of the Alcazar Palace is the Patio de las Doncellas (photo). In the 'patio of the virgins', an elongated pond is surrounded by embedded gardens and a gallery with dentiled vaults with access to the reception rooms. The Salón de Embajadores (Ambassadors' Hall) is also impressive, with a splendid dome of worked cedar wood. Another historic building is the Casa de Contratación. In the 'Casa de Contratación' dating from 1503, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella received, among others, the explorer Christopher Columbus. All Spanish trade with the New World was administered here, and it was also home to a navigation school run by Vespucci. In addition, the palace complex has beautiful and extensive gardens: from Moorish to Renaissance style, with numerous ponds, exotic trees, shady paths and pavilions. To end this beautiful day, we will head to our rooftop hotel and enjoy a big family dinner party!
2

Córdoba

Day 2-3
After a nice breakfast at our Sevilla hotel, we will head to our second stop, Cordoba. Welcome to the city of flowers, with 4 cultures and plenty of life! The Great Mosque, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, the Synagogue and the Roman bridge are the prime examples of Córdoba’s old quarter. The city reflects its Roman past and the coexistence of Christian, Islamic and Jewish cultures throughout its history. I will show you the Jewish quarter, the Calahorra tower, the Roman theatre, Caballerizas Reales, Plaza de la Corredera… We'll also take a stroll to discover a tangle of narrow streets, squares, fountains and courtyards decorated with flowers. Food wise, the best-known areas for tapas are the historic quarter and the neighbourhoods of San Lorenzo, San Andrés and Santa Marina. I'll make sure you try local specialities like salmorejo (cold tomato soup), flamenquín (pork roll fried in breadcrumbs), aubergines with honey, mazamorra (cold almond soup), Iberian ham from Los Pedroches, cheese from Zuheros and wine from Montilla-Moriles (well, if you feel like it lol). In the evening, we will head to our palace style hotel for a well deserved rest!!
3

Rota

Day 3-4
After a heartwarming breakfast at our hotel, let's go on the road again! We're now heading to Rota, at the north of the Bay of Cadiz. We will see one of its most significant buildings, Luna Castle (13th century), currently home to the Town Hall and the local tourist board. We will also admire the Baroque Caridad or San Juan Bautista Church, and San Roque Church, home to the statue of the town's patron saint. Of course, we will enjoy the city's beaches, La Costilla, alongside the old town, and Rompidillo, as well as other, unspoilt beaches further away from the centre if you wish. The water might be a little cool, but I'd recommend a nice sea bath to rejuvenate after our cultural adventures! After a little siesta (if you need it), we will go back to Sevilla, where our great rooftop hotel awaits for additional fun memories!

Seville

Day 4
Back to the city that got my heart! After we've filled our stomach with plenty of typical Sevillan breakfast food, we will start our last stop by the visit of the palace of Las Dueñas. Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, Las Dueñas was named after the currently disappeared monastery of Santa María de las Dueñas, placed in the adjoining plot and demolished in 1868. In the XIX Century, Las Dueñas became a guesthouse, dividing its rooms and halls with walls and covering the coffered ceiling. In the 20th Century Las Dueñas has been a meeting point for members of the European royal families and international personalities of the culture, politics and art. Distinguished people such as the Empress Eugenia de Montijo, Lord Holland, Eduardo VIII and his bother Jorge VI, Alfonso XIII, Jacqueline Kennedy, Wallis Simpson, Grace Kelly and her husband Rainiero de Mónaco, among others. The garden is absolutely delighteful to visit for those plants & flowers lovers too. After a Sevillan lunch, we will spend the rest of our day seeing all famous or hidden treasures Sevilla still has to offer. Of course, if you loved a place so much on day 1 and wish to go back, I'll try to make that possible :-) Time for "Hasta luego" !!
