Weekend Getaways

Seville

Seville is the capital of the region of Andalusia. It is one of the most historical and commercially important cities in Spain.

Seville is a busy yet relaxing and charming city, with its small balconies overflowing with geraniums, countless historic buildings, narrow streets, small plazas, beautiful parks, and gardens is a great place to explore and absorb the culture and language. Bullfights, street musicians and Flamenco dances are daily celebrations. Sevilla combines the wealth of history and culture with its modern business facilities and shopping centers.

Cordoba

Córdoba is an extremely beautiful city full of culture and relics of the moorish empire. It was once the capital of the Al-Andalus region conquered by the muslims. Several mosques from that era still exist including the 8th-century mosque with painted columns and arches that is so magnificent that it was preserved by the christian rulers that later took over. Cordoba's old quarter is a maze of narrow streets with white buildings, balconies and patios full of beautiful flowers and several historic buildings.

Granada

Granada is located at the foot of the sierra Nevada mountains, at the crossroads of the Darro and Genil rivers. The region is very diverse featuring warm climate along the coastal areas and much cooler climate in the mountainous regions. Albaicin is another charming place with steep and narrow streets and ancient houses. It is a moorish neighborhood with a maze of Muslim architecture, patios, and Arab baths. The legacy of the arab occupation of Spain is best preserved in the Alhambra and the Alcazaba fortress on the Alhambra hill. There are several museums in Granada worth visiting. Some are Museo de Bellas Artes, Museo de La Alhambra, Museo Arqueologico and Casa Museo Manual de Falla.
