I’d love to show you the real south of Spain—authentic, vibrant, and full of life. While the tour Around Ronda introduced you to the charm of small towns and villages, the Wild West is all about nature and animals.
The south-western Andalusia is a wild region where horses and birds roam freely, rivers run as red as rust, ancient mining sites whisper stories of the past, and cowboys sip their beer on horseback. And, of course, there’s the incredible local food you won’t want to miss!
Your adventure kicks off in Seville, where you dive straight into history. First stop—Seville Cathedral, the third-largest in the world. Back in the 15th century, the Catholic Church decided to build a cathedral so massive that anyone who saw it would think they had lost their mind. And honestly? It worked! This place is breathtaking.
Next, you step into the magical Alcázar Palace, originally built as a fortress during Andalusia’s Muslim period. Then, you’ll wander through the charming old Jewish quarter, with its winding narrow streets, and stroll across the stunning Plaza de España, a masterpiece built nearly 100 years ago for the Ibero-American Exposition.
By then, you’ll be ready for a break! You’ll grab lunch in a cozy 17th-century bar, soak in the atmosphere, and fuel up for the next highlight—Palacio de las Dueñas. This stunning palace from the 15th-16th centuries was home to marquises and dukes, and today, it belongs to the House of Alba, descendants of English and Scottish royalty. Pretty cool, right?
But Seville isn’t just about grand palaces—it’s also the heart of flamenco! In the evening, you’ll experience the passion and energy of Sevillanas, the local flamenco style that will have you completely mesmerized.

On day two, you dive even deeper into Spain’s hidden wonders.
You’ll head to Río Tinto, a place where iron, silver, and bronze have been mined for nearly 5,000 years! Even the Phoenicians extracted metals here. Over time, this gave the river its intense red hues—though as tempting as it looks, resist the urge to touch the water (it’s not safe!).
Here’s what’s in store for the day:
A ride on a historic train, following the same tracks once used to transport ore.
A visit to real mines, where you’ll step into the world of miners from centuries past.
A stop at the mining museum, where you’ll uncover the fascinating history of this unique region.
After lunch and some well-deserved rest, you’ll visit Atalaya, the largest open-pit mine in Europe—a jaw-dropping sight!
Next, you’ll explore Bellavista, a charming neighborhood where the British founders of the Río Tinto Mining Company lived during the Victorian era. The contrast between this English-style district and the rugged Spanish landscape is truly fascinating.
After such a packed day, it’s time to unwind in Mazagón, a peaceful village right on the shores of the Bay of Cádiz. Here, you’ll relax, take in the sea breeze, and enjoy a well-earned dinner.
Night in Mazagon - Parador de Mazagon
Your morning begins at a historic site—the very place where Columbus set sail on his famous voyage. Here, you’ll see replicas of his caravels, the ships that changed history. After admiring these legendary vessels, you’ll visit the monastery where Columbus stayed before embarking on his journey across the Atlantic.
Next, you’ll step into a true Wild West setting—El Rocío, a town where there are no cars, and everyone gets around on horseback. Every year, thousands of pilgrims come here to carry the Madonna on their shoulders from a nearby village. According to tradition, the pilgrimage is only considered complete if the journey is made on horseback, in wagons, or on foot.
As soon as you arrive, you'll enjoy lunch in town, watching the locals ride straight into bars on their horses—yes, really! After soaking up the unique atmosphere, you’ll stroll through the town and visit the Hermitage of the Virgen del Rocío, the heart of this incredible tradition.
Then, it’s time for an actual safari! you’ll head into Doñana National Park with a ranger for a three-hour off-road adventure, spotting wildlife and exploring one of Spain’s most stunning natural reserves.
After this action-packed day, you'll return to the hotel to relax.
Night in Mazagon - Parador de Mazagon
Early in the morning, you'll head to a remote village to try Jamón Ibérico de Bellota—the finest ham in Spain. This delicacy comes from black Iberian pigs, which roam freely in oak forests and feed exclusively on acorns. The ham is carefully salted, then aged in special curing rooms, where it matures for several month. The whole process takes almost three years!
You'll enjoy a guided tour of the production process, followed by a tasting of this legendary jamón. Afterward, you’ll have lunch in the same village, soaking up the rustic charm and flavors of the region.
Finally, you’ll make our way back to Seville, where you’ll end the tour with a Sangria tasting experience—the perfect way to toast to an unforgettable adventure!
