Discovery, at a thoughtful pace.
This proposed journey follows the legacy of Al-Andalus through three remarkable cities. Days are shaped around unhurried visits – the palaces and gardens of Granada, the old town of Córdoba and the historic quarter of Seville – with free time to wander, eat well and rest.
Alongside the holiday, a proposed programme of short sessions and conversations explores what these places can teach us about knowledge, faith and community.

A little inspiration
Your suggested itinerary.
This is an outline to explore together. The route, duration, visits and programme may change before a departure is confirmed.
Day 1 · Arrive and settle in
Begin in Málaga, meet your fellow travellers and allow time to rest. The final arrival and transfer plan will follow the confirmed flight arrangements.
Days 2–3 · Granada, gardens and discovery
Explore Granada with a proposed Alhambra and Generalife visit, subject to tickets. Leave room for the Albaicín, local food and an evening reflection session.
Day 4 · The stories of Córdoba
Discover the old town and the architecture of the Mosque–Cathedral as a cultural visit, subject to access. Make time for discussion and an unhurried afternoon.
Days 5–6 · Seville at your own pace
Combine guided cultural discovery with free time in Seville. A final group reflection brings together the themes of the journey.
Day 7 · Travel home
Allow time for the return transfer and onward journey. The final departure city and timings will be confirmed with the itinerary.
