Andalusia: A Trip to Islamic Spain. Andalusia is a crossroads of civilizations, mosques, churches and synagogues. This trip will focus on the rich legacy of the Islamic civilization. Let the Professors guide you through the narrow, labyrinth-like streets, the colorful patios, the Umayyad columns, helping you discover Islamic masonry at its finest and the numerous fountains from which flow seven centuries of remarkably rich history. This trip begins in Cordoba, with a visit of the magnificent Mezquita, a former mosque transformed into a cathedral and the heart of the Jewish quarter known as the Juderia. Grenada is our next stop, providing an opportunity to discover the truly breathtaking Alhambra Palace, one of Islamic architecture’s finest monuments, and the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. This journey ends in Seville, with its famous Alcazar Palace.
