Discovering Muslim Spain

Bringing to life the history of Al-Andalus 
Fully accompanied by a professional local guide

6 Days - 5 Nights from £550

Journey to Southern Spain to discover the secrets of the magnificent land of Al-Andalus. 

A land that was ruled by the Muslims for almost 800 years. During their reign they transformed a backward society to the most sophisticated and advanced in Europe. Whilst the rest of Europe was enveloped in the gloom of the ‘dark ages’ Muslim Spain was perhaps the epicentre of knowledge and education for the whole of Europe and beyond. Street lights, paved roads, advanced irrigation systems, universities, and great men of learning were common place in Al-Andalus in stark contrast to the rest of Europe.

 

We invite you on this eye-opening journey that will truly bring to life the history of Al-Andalus. A journey that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster – there will be times of happiness as well as times of sadness. 

 

To really discover the secrets of this amazing land, we think it is essential to have local expert guides who can help us uncover the many secrets that are waiting to be discovered. 

 

We promise that this will be an experience that you will not forget for a very long time!
