The Best of Barcelona and Andalusia:
Tour Overview

"Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering... Gaudí had inspiration already, and nature showed him God’s engineering.”

-J. O’Rourke, “God’s Engineer” from the September 2011 issue of the Atlantic magazine.

“Most people are completely bowled over by their first sight of Moorish Spain: the courtyards and gardens of Granada’s Alhambra, Cordoba’s Great Mosque, the elegant tower of La Giralda in Sevilla.  There’s a different beauty in the worlds of al-Andalus, a beauty unique in the world.”

- Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls – Andalucia Cadagon Guide

In the Andalusian city of Seville, we’ll visit the King’s Royal Palace (the Alcazar) and the largest Cathedral in the world, and we’ll learn how to make Salmorejo and Paella Valenciana in our private cooking class.  We’ll experience the ancient dance of flamenco being performed by the men and women whose passion keeps it alive.

Throughout our adventure, we’ll feast on many different kinds of Spanish food. Tapas for sure but also paella and other local dishes.

We’ll spend one night in the city of Cordoba and marvel at the Mezquita, the whitewashed courtyards filled with flowers and one of the best restaurants in Andalusia!

Our final stop is Granada where the Alhambra will blow your mind.  It’s definitely one of our top ten sites in all the world.  Filled with delicate lace, animals, and nature cut out of solid stone, its beauty is breathtaking.
