A short walk from Real Alcázar de Sevilla you will find Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa.  Plaza de España is undoubtedly one of the most impressive squares in Spain - sprawling over 50,000 square metres, it’s the size of five football pitches!  Across from the square you will find Parque de María Luisa where giant exotic trees provide welcome shade!

Optional evening activity: cook up a storm in a Spanish Cooking Class where you will learn how to prepare and cook traditional Spanish dishes and taste them too!

Spend your last morning in Sevilla in Plaza de la Encarnación, where you will find Metropol Parasol, named ‘Las Setas’ by locals for its mushroom-like appearance!  Jürgen Mayer-Hermann’s daring creation has slotted into Sevilla’s ancient core with a weird kind of harmony, turning (and tilting) the heads of all who pass.

If time allows, head over to Calle Sierpes for a spot of shopping – a great opportunity to pick up last minute souvenirs.
