Andalusia is truly a melting pot of culture where history meets and blends with myth. The cultural influences that have washed over Andalucia since the first paintings were etched on cave walls are many: Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, and Vandals. But the most influential of all were unarguably that of the Moors, who named the region “Al-Andalus” and who’s eighth- century rule left an indelible imprint on the region’s culture and its customs.

This is the legacy that we will explore together on this Classic Cultural Tour.
