Golden Andalusia: Moorish Palaces, Mountains and Sea Caves

***Six days across southern Spain, from the Moorish palaces of Granada to a sea kayak under the Maro waterfall. We climb above the tree line in the Sierra Nevada, kayak the Costa del Sol, and end in historic Seville, where the Real Alcázar, one of the city’s great palaces, was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.*** **HOW DO I JOIN THIS TRIP?** Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket.

Late October is the ideal time to visit Andalusia. Daytime temperatures sit comfortably between 22°C and 28°C, the Mediterranean is still warm enough for swimming, and the dense summer crowds have finally gone home. The amazing weather is just the start. What surprises most people is the dramatic landscape. The **Sierra Nevada**, mainland Spain’s highest mountain range, is just 45 minutes from Granada. This means we can hike at an altitude of 3,000 meters in the morning and be back in the city for tapas by evening. An hour south, the mountains plunge straight into the sea. The coastline east of **Málaga** is a protected stretch of cliffs and coves where we’ll kayak into sea caves beneath the Maro cliffs and swim under a waterfall that drops directly into the Mediterranean. Very few places in Europe let you experience both environments in the same week. When it comes to food, **Granada** is one of the last cities in Spain where every drink arrives with a complimentary plate of food, naturally turning dinner into a relaxed crawl from bar to bar. One evening, we’ll head to the Albaicín for flamenco to experience it in an authentic, intimate tablao. Woven through all of this is a history completely unlike the rest of Europe. Eight centuries of Moorish rule left behind masterpieces like the Alhambra in Granada and the Real Alcázar in **Seville**. These palaces are defined by open courtyards, running water channels, intricately carved plaster, and gardens designed specifically for shade and quiet. Join us in the heart of Andalusia for an unforgettable autumn escape, complete with great company, authentic paella, and exceptional wine. **⭐WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** **The Alhambra Grounds & the Albaicín:** We walk up through the old Moorish quarter on cobbles that have not changed much in five hundred years, into the free Alhambra grounds, and on to Mirador de San Miguel Alto for sunset. The palace on one side, the Sierra Nevada behind it, and the whole of Granada below. **Sierra Nevada High-Altitude Hike:** Mainland Spain's highest mountain range, and a scenic loop above the tree line at over 2,500 metres. Roughly three hours at an easy pace with plenty of stops. **Sea Kayaking the Maro Cliffs:** Three hours on the water along a protected stretch of the Costa del Sol, paddling into sea caves and stopping at a beach you cannot reach on foot. The highlight is the waterfall that drops straight off the cliff into the sea, and yes, you can swim under it. **The Real Alcázar & Seville Cathedral:** A working royal palace built by Moorish craftsmen for Christian kings, with gardens that take an hour on their own. Next door, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and the Giralda tower. **Granada's Free Tapas**: Granada is one of the last cities in Spain where a drink still comes with a plate of food, no charge. We do a guided night tapas crawl, trying out all of the specialties Andalusia has to offer. **Traditional Flamenco:** A first-row seat to a traditional flamenco show in a cave-style room in the Albaicín. Experience the soulful passion, fiery rhythm, and unforgettable intensity of live flamenco. **📋TRIP DETAILS** **📅Start and End Date:** Friday morning, 23 October - Wednesday afternoon, 28 October **📍Meeting Time and Location:** Meet your guide around 12 pm at Málaga central train station María Zambrano (exact location to be provided in WhatsApp group for confirmed participants). **📍Finishing Time and Location:** Wednesday afternoon, 28 October in Seville City Centre.
