Day One
Arrive Seville airport in the evening, transfer to a two or three star city centre hotel. You will be shown to your comfortable room that will have private facilities, towels, hair dryer, air conditioning and a fan. Seville is a wonderful city both by day and by night. The Spanish eat late so you will be able to enjoy tapas and wine in the city centre bars and restaurants well into the early hours.
Day Two
Breakfast in the hotel this morning and then at 9.30 am you will be picked up by your private coach for your visit to The Royal Riding School in Jerez. Jerez is internationally renowned for its production of sherries and brandies and your trip today will include a visit to a famous wine shop where you will be able to sample some of the different local varieties. However, the main attraction of the day will be the visit to the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre renowned throughout the world for their breath-taking exhibition ‘How the Andalusian horses dance’. Their painstaking training methods make this show a real delight as the horses performing intricate and demanding movements with effortless grace and control. Back to Seville this afternoon.
Day Three
Today you will have the option of visiting a local equestrian centre where you will be able to ride. You can choose between hacking or a lesson. The countryside around Seville is a delight and depending on the time of year you could find yourself riding through fields of sunflowers, wheat, cotton, oranges or peaches, or through olive groves with ancient trees still carefully tended and nurtured. Alternatively the coast of Huelva is not far away and you may choose to ride along beautiful sandy beaches, cooling off for a paddle as the horses dip their toes into the Atlantic Ocean (watch out for the waves!)
Day Four
After breakfast you will be picked up once again for your visit to an Andalusian Horse Stud. The principle aim of these wonderful studs is to preserve the genetic heritage of this most ancient of breeds. The sight of ‘The Pura Raza Espanola ‘mares, foals and young-stock is really breath taking. This afternoon we will be stopping in one of the traditional ‘white’ Andalusian villages to give you time to explore the traditional narrow streets, enjoy browsing around the local craft shops or simply sit in the shady village square and watch the world go by with a glass of wine. Back to the hotel later.
You really can’t visit Andalucia without witnessing at firsthand the passion of The Flamenco Dance! The origin of this dance is still unknown, although it is generally believed to be a mixture of gypsy and Arabic dance. What is not in debate though, is the passion and fervour of the performers as they combine acoustic guitar with singing, dancing and staccato hand clapping. We can offer your group a night to remember as you combine dining with entertainment at a top class Flamenco Bar in Seville.
