Highlights from Day Trips on Andalusia

Andalusia is one large Community in Spain with many fantastic holiday options. Hence, day trips become a common choice for tourists who want to get the best and the most of Andalusia. Many tourists opt to choose a city where they can base themselves for various day trips to nearby towns and villages.

This saves tourists a lot of time and money giving them a lot of convenience in traveling around Andalusia. There is no need to pack and unpack the luggage or lug it around to different towns and cities when one has a ‘base city’.

Granada day trip

One of the more popular day trips is to Granada where many tourists want to view the Alhambra and the Generalife. Tourists can be picked up from their hotels to travel to Granada for a delightful 3-hour guided tour around the Alhambra which is a Moorish palace. The Alhambra is Andalusia’s popular attractions; one also gets to view the Generalife gardens. Hence, this is a popular 2-in-1 day trip package for tourists visiting Granada. All sites’ entrance fees are already included in the day trip cost.

Tourists are given leisure time to explore the gardens and outside the Alhambra; they can visit the historic city center for lunch or shop around for some souvenirs. Guests would be transported back to their base city shortly after.

Cordoba day trip

Cordoba is famous for its ancient Great Mosque which is part of the ancient influences in this region. However, this day trip happens only on certain days. There would be a 3-hour guided tour on the Alcázar which is the ancient Moorish mosque that stood majestically in the past.

Tourists also get to visit the ancient Jewish quarter, Synagogue and Cathedral. Many of these monuments are built over past Moorish monuments. There would be some free time for tourists to walk around the town on their own to make further personal discoveries. One can choose to have some local cuisine for lunch before being taken back to their base hotel in the evening.

Day trips around Andalusia can be half days or full days. But these short excursions would not be too heavy to tire out the tourists. There would always be enough time to rest or enjoy each spot in leisure. Some day trips are not offered every day so that tourists can have time to rest and plan their other day trips better. Tourists would enjoy their Andalusia holiday much more with day trips.
