The tour included tickets for the Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba and the Alhambra in Granada, which was convenient. I also liked having two free days on the Costa del Sol with half-board at the hotel; the pace felt relaxed.

Santa Cruz (Jewish Quarter)
The barrio of Santa Cruz in Sevilla was once the city's Jewish Quarter, and is now the most popular tourist are in the city. The narrow, winding streets and alleyways of this neighborhood remind visitors of a labyrinth.
