Whereas the greatest hits of Seville was the theme on your first full day in the city, today, you will enjoy a case study of one of the region's most famous traditions.

During a cooking course, a professional chef will reveal the secret traditions and culinary creativity of Andalusia.

As with most Spanish cities, each neighborhood of Seville boasts a unique take on a city that lives with its own flavor and culture.

Today, you will be able to enjoy a guided excursion through this cosmopolitan corner of the city, where the fine foods and beverages of Andalusia will come alive.
