Seville
Seville oozes romance, with twisting cobbled alleys linking beautiful plazas and threading through wide varieties of architecture, lined by pink bougainvillea and blooming orange trees. Its turbulent history has given it many different flavours, with influences from the Romans, Moors and Christians amongst others making the turn of every corner full of anticipation and expectation.
As the capital of Andalucia and the fourth largest city in Spain, it is anything but small, but the compact old town makes everything seem to be within touching distance. It manages to capture the feel of a small town, whilst still being packed full of eye catching architecture, world recognised icons and a melting pot of cultures. The city’s Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and something to be marvelled at, as is the Alcazar, which has played host to many of the city’s rulers in its history. Then there’s the Plaza de Espana, a unique and mind-blowing site that seems otherworldly, and was proved so when it was chosen to feature in the Star Wars movies.
Beyond its buildings and gardens, Seville is also home to two of Andalucia’s principle traditions; flamenco and bull fighting. Sevillanos flock to the bull ring in season to judge the machismo of the matadors on show, and flamenco can’t be escaped, whether it is an impromptu show in a back street bar or the ticket stalls for tourist shows which line the old town. Both of these traditions are packed with passion, and that passion is not in short supply anywhere else in the city either.
Given its size and importance in Andalucia, as well as its influence in Spain as a whole, Seville is a popular choice for exhibitions, conferences and other corporate events. It has hosted huge events in the past such as Expo 92, and is more than capable of hosting events of all shapes and sizes. With its excellent infrastructure, the city is very easy to visit with the airport, high speed trains, motorways and even a river port allowing you to arrive in whichever style you prefer. On arrival, it is also extremely easy to navigate with a tram system cutting through the city and many areas pedestrianised and clearly signed.
You won’t be short of options in recreational hours either, with plenty of outdoor sports, golf courses and other activities to keep you busy once you’ve explored everything the city has to offer.
With the mixture of facilities it offers, along with guaranteed enjoyment out of hours, Seville is an ideal destination for a business event or getaway

We can organize a special tour visiting the ‘must see’ places like the Golden Tower; the cathedral declared UNESCO World Heritage Site; the Giralda, the city’s most representative monument and the Alcazar fortified palace… We suggest stopping for a drink and some tapas in one of the terraces or a to enjoy a picnic.
The tour will follow with a visit to the famous Santa Cruz Quarter situated in the city centre with the beauty of its whitewashed houses and palaces and the emblematic flowered patios which will be a source of anecdotes for our guides to talk about.
Once the tour is finished, depending on your time and budget, we are happy to organize a nice lunch where you can sit down and relax like the natives do, tasting the typical dishes such as the fried fish, the fresh prawns, the exquisite ham, accompanied by Manzanilla, sherry and Montilla or golden beer.

City Game

City Game
This group activity offers you the opportunity to discover all the beautiful places in the city while facing different challenges. The principal objective is to get to know Sevilla in a different and pleasant way. However, the participants also have to fulfil some other goals like: working in team, developing their imagination within a healthy competition, and – above all – having fun.
We will divide the entire group into smaller teams. Next, every team will receive the instructions for the game together with a map, writing material and at least one photo camera per group. All the teams start at the same time, leaving the same spot, but they will visit the different challenges-spot in a different order. At the end of the trail all teams gather at the finishing point.
To make sure that every team passes all the spots, they have to fulfil some tasks. During the walking-tour the teams have to solve puzzles, find the solution to a riddle, find a certain object, find a legend or history, take photos, etc… A monitor assists the team during the entire trajectory and watches over the good evolution of the tour.
This activity is very flexible. For example: going for a drink and stopping to eat some tapas, etc. The walking-tours can also be altered to make them shorter or longer. They will bring you to beautiful plazas, streets, churches and parks and leave you with a great souvenir of the city. An unforgettable day!
Flamenco Workshop
Activities in Seville
Flamenco Workshop
First of all, what is ‘Flamenco”? Flamenco is a genuine Southern Spanish art and it exists in three forms : Cante – the song, Baile – the dance, and Guitarra – the guitar.
Being such an important and passionate feature in Sevilla’s tradition and history, we would like to offer a special group course of flamenco, available all year round. The objective is to get to know the basic moves whilst having fun with your colleagues. These courses are designed for the specific needs and tastes of the participants who will join us in this experience. The course has a variable duration and intensity, with a minimum of 6 people. The classes are based on different possible combinations of technique, dance instruction and classes of Compás & Palmas -flamenco rhythm & handclaps.
Depending on the budget of the group, we can also organize the presence of a guitarist and/or flamenco singer which will allow participants to enjoy an authentic flamenco atmosphere as a side show, where dance instruction is presented with the backdrop of the notes of a guitar and the sound of the cantes.
We can provide flamenco traditional fans or castanets for a final choreography and souvenir of the activity!
We will then suggest going for dinner to one of the city’s best flamenco shows where you will see the professionals and put into practice what you have learnt during the course.
