Madrid, Seville, Granada, Malaga, Lisbon

Departure to Sierra Morena where are situated the most important stockbreeding Haciendas with “Toros Bravos” of Seville, surrounded by dramatic landscapes. This visit will be truly different as it will be entirely and privately guided by the owner, an extremely passionate and enthusiastic Sevillian aristocrat with a very deep knowledge and a touch of madness when he tells us about his passion… A true and unforgettable experience at the core of Spain’s oldest tradition.

Doñana National Park – Seville
Doñana is not only the most important natural reserve of Southern Europe but it is also the most protected. All the national park itself is an area of very intense protection and visits are very limited. The private visit in a special 4×4 vehicle will be the unique opportunity to discover the last unchartered land of Europe. The park is of instance beauty with an outstanding animal wild life and several extremely protected species. The views of the Beaches and the ocean with the sand dunes are absolutely unforgettable.

The Bad Lands – Granada
The region situated on the North face of Sierra Nevada is made of deserts and canyons called bad lands. A region of incredible landscapes, troglodyte villages and outstanding megalithic treasures takes us 3000 years ago, up to the origin of the Iberian mystery.

There is no matter here for spectacle, this is indeed the opposite of a show. The point is to recreate what was the essence of flamenco in the old times, a Gypsy family party or “fiesta”. An inmersión experience in which the group will integrate a team of artists and fully communicate with them.

Immerse yourself in spanish southern culture during a vibrant Flamenco lesson in Seville. You will learn the basic steps of this dance, including hand movements, and about Flamenco history as well.

This cooking experience takes place in Seville’s renowned Triana market. Begin with a ‘behind the scenes’ guided market tour, during which you will meet many specialised vendors. You will get to know about locally grown organic products and select the ingredients that will later be used during the cooking workshop.

You will continue with the preparation of 4 course menu, under the instruction of a professionally trained bilingual chef, and you will learn and develop some local techniques and traditional skills to take home from your trip. Andalusian olives and sangria will be served during the class, and you will get all written recipes and lots of useful tips.

The Albaycin quarter is Granada’s most emblematic old district. You will not only visit it, you will also meet and share with the most typical people like artists, Gypsies, as well as grandmothers and incredible little kids….

Private reception by one of the most important families of the Spanish aristocracy in their fascinating old palace, a 15th century traditional construction, where you will learn the way of life and the old traditions of the city. A very unique and exclusive experience.

Visit of a local ham fabric, which still follows strict old production traditions. At the beginning of the experience you we will be able to really understand the real economy of those regions. A way not only to taste excellent ham but also to learn about the old spanish society.

Visit of a Manchego Cheese fabric, which works exclusively with local milk and produces an incredible cheese which has been awarded in national and international trade shows, the famous Payoyo cheese.

Old Sherry Wines
The Spanish Sherry wines are in fact the true ones as they come from the origin itself, the city of Jerez, now strictly protected by a DPO l. About 10 years ago Robert Parker (the wine advocate) came to Jerez and discovered the wines called V.O.R.S Sherry , the very old Sherry wines, selected sherries of at least 30 to 50 years old. The production of these wines has been kept only by a very few wineries, mostly family run wineries which have escaped from the extreme standarization of the sector.
