What to expect
Expect a guided walk through compact, mostly pedestrian streets in Seville's old quarter. Your guide weaves together the city's Islamic foundations and the later Christian transformation, pointing out how both cultures shaped what you see—from building styles to street patterns. You'll spend time around the monumental core: the Cathedral, the Giralda (the iconic tower), and the Alcázar. The pace is leisurely enough to absorb detail without rushing.
