Think of Seville Spain, you think of Flamenco. The passionate blend music and dance is captivating.  You can try your hands (or feet) at Flamenco, whether in a bar, or an organised class. 

If you would rather watch Flamenco expertly executed, there are many different options in Seville where shows take place, accompanied by drinks or dinner.

Golf

Near Aznalcázar is Las Minas Golf.  A 9-hole course, with plans to expand it to 27.  It has a long, difficult 5-pars, wide greens and 4 lakes.

Special excursions will guide you through the history of Andalusia, showing you architecture and describing the events that bring them to life. You can choose an excursion to suit your time, budget and interests. Being so close to Seville gives you the opportunity of visiting the many historical sights of this beautiful city.

Andalusian Gastronomy

When you embark on a gastronomy tour, you can look forward to combining the wonderful tastes of Andalusia in the most charming of locations. 

Andalucía has something for everyone.  From the seafood of the coast, the game of the forests, to the venison and wild boar of the mountains of the sierras. You can travel around sampling a range of dishes from the region, or just try the local tapas bar, an adventure in itself.

In most bars with your drink, delicious olives will automatically accompany it. Seville is famous for these bars and one could spend the day sampling tapas for a few euros. If you have a taste for olive oil, special olive oil tasting is available.

Wine/Brandy Tasting 

Brandy Luis Felipe  - it is said that in 1893, kegs of brandy were discovered in La Palma del Condado, originating from the son of King Louis I of France.  These kegs form the base of Luis Felipe brandy today, aged for 60 years and the “secret” recipe handed down by generation.  Known as one of the finest Brandies in Spain, a visit takes you back in time and gives you a chance to sample this fantastic spirit.

Bodega Salado – founded in 1810 and offering various different wines of the Aljarafe region, a trip to Bodega Salado gives you a chance to taste the delicious wines of this region, and, if you wish combine a visit with seeing the horses they also breed in the family.
