Scott Dunn: ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A HOLIDAY

Choose between these amazing sights:

Real Alcazar: A series of royal palaces blending Moorish, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The Palace gardens and beautiful Patio de Bandara and Plaza del Triunfo are not to be missed.

Archivo de Indias: Since 1785, the archives have served as the repository for all documents related to the discovery of the New World; Avenida de la Constitucion.

Barrio Santa Cruz: Once the Jewish quarter, it is a maze of narrow streets, wrought iron gates and flower filled patios.

Casa de Pilatos: A magnificent 16th century private palace containing a huge collection of azulejos, Roman artefacts and antique furniture.

Cathedral: Built on the site of the city's 12th century mosque, which was destroyed in the 15th century. All that remains of the mosque are the Patio de Naranjos and its minaret, the Giralda, which was converted into the bell tower. The Cathedral was built in the 15th and 16th Centuries and is one of the largest churches in the world.

Parque de Maria Luisa: The former royal gardens re-designed by the French architect Forestier for the 1929 Iberian-Ameri.

Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza: Bullfighters consider this the most prestigious ring in the world. Bull fighting season begins in Easter.

Cartuja monastery: Houses the Museum of Contemporary Andalucian art.

Torre del Oro: Built in the 13th Century during the Almohad period. This fortified tower was a surveillance post for the maritime traffic on the river.

Palacio de Lebrija: This Renaissance Mudejar style palace became a refuge for antiques when the Countess de Lebrija bought it in 1914. You can visit the ground floor rooms, devoted to archaeology - full of Greek, Roman and Persian statues and Etruscan terracottas - or you can go upstairs and examine the handsome collection of 15th and 17th century religious statues and ceramics.

Los Alburejos is situated just outside Medina Sidonia and is part of a group of properties belonging to the family of Alvaro Domecq. Here they breed the renowned bullfighting horses (rejoneo) as well as the brave bulls (Toros bravos) used in the bullrings all over Spain. The Finca opens to the public three times a week. You will get the chance to see these majestic animals in their natural habitat and will be treated to a great performance of both classical dressage and Doma Vaquerra, the Spanish style of riding, which originated in the countryside specifically for working and moving cattle.

This half day course is a unique and inspiring way to experience something new and learn a little about the gastronomic traditions of Southern Spain.

This half day course takes place in the private home where you will learn how to make traditional Andalucian recipes such as gazpacho, Spanish tortilla, chicken cooked with almonds as well as famous seafood recipes such as whole fish cooked in a salt crust and served with lemon oil.

The class will start with a visit to a local produce market where you will see an incredible range of seafood and game plus the local meats, fruits and vegetables. There is a late morning aperitif and at the end of the class lunch is served on a terrace overlooking Seville Cathedral.

Kuko Valcarcel was Colonel in Chief of the old cavalry regiment based in Seville and now runs the equestrian centre and competitions at Pineda Country Club. His family ranch, Finca Los Camachos is surrounded by over 1000 hectares of spectacular private countryside, used principally for hunting, which provides a dramatic landscape of rolling hills and bridle paths through which to ride. This is not a public riding centre but a private home where guests of Hacienda de San Rafael and Corral del Rey can enjoy a 2 hour exclusive ride with a charming guide who will later invite them to enjoy a glass of cold dry fino and aperitivo before returning back to the hotel.
