Seville and Cordoba Express




Itinerary
In a captivating fusion of Islamic and Christian heritage, Seville and Córdoba rank among Spain’s most enchanting cities. Shaded boulevards guide us to the magnificent Plaza de España, whose gleaming majolica tiles and elegant bridges across the canal confirm its reputation as one of the world’s most breathtaking squares. The heart of the old city is dominated by the awe-inspiring Cathedral, crowned by the iconic Giralda tower, which rewards those who climb it with sweeping views across Seville. Just steps away lies the royal palace, the Alcázar—a labyrinth of patios, fragrant orange groves, and Moorish halls where we can imagine the lives of the kings who once resided there. No visit to Spain would be complete without a nod to its traditions, and so we pause at the Plaza de Toros, the country’s oldest and most distinguished bullring. Crossing the Guadalquivir River, we discover Triana, long celebrated as Seville’s vibrant district of ceramics.
An hour’s train ride brings us to Córdoba, where the spectacular red-and-white arches of the Mezquita alone justify the journey. Yet there is more: the city’s own Alcázar and the atmospheric Caliph’s Baths add further layers of history. We’ll meander through the flower-filled lanes of the old quarter before returning to Seville, where the rhythms of Andalucía come alive in a live flamenco class. And though every journey must end, ours concludes in style: beneath the striking wooden canopy of the Metropol Parasol, we share a final evening of tapas, sangria, and tinto de verano. Hasta luego, Andalucía!

Welcome to Spain!
Check-in: Our adventure begins in Seville
Roundtrip flights or transportation to reach the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide from where and when you want to leave! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travel itinerary to your needs.
Buenos días, Spain! Check into our hotel in Seville, and we'll immediately begin to immerse ourselves in the Andalusian spirit, strolling through the Barrio de Santa Cruz, along the river, or even going shopping! It's nice to introduce ourselves and get to know each other, but what about doing it over a delicious sangria? Let's go!
Between the Cathedral, the Giralda and ceramics
Good morning Seville!
On our second day, we'll begin exploring Seville by strolling through its vibrant streets. Standing out in the city center is its immense and ornate Cathedral , where, if we wish, we'll have the opportunity to enter and climb the Giralda tower for a unique perspective on the city. What better welcome? Are we hungry after that climb? Okay, time for tapas !
Triana, beyond the Guadalquivir
In the afternoon, we'll cross the bridge over the Guadalquivir River and reach the Triana neighborhood. This is the kingdom of ceramics , and in countless corners of the area we'll see colorful majolica tiles that make Triana one of the liveliest areas of Seville. Some of the workshops are open to visitors, where we can witness the crafting and creation of beautiful pieces!
We're going to Cordoba!
The Mosque of Cordoba
On the third day, we'll board a train. We'll head to a mosque that houses a cathedral , a perfect example of Andalusian architectural styles. Famous for its red and white arches , this structure holds a rich history. Are you ready to enjoy it? The dark, mysterious atmosphere will make your visit unforgettable. We'll enjoy some local delicacies, stroll through the colorful streets of the city center, and head to our next stop.
Alcázar and Baths of the Caliph
We can't miss a visit to the Alcázar, the royal palace of Cordoba! A key site for Christopher Columbus, this palace will leave you speechless with its mosaics and gardens. Not far away is the palace's thermal baths , which it would be a shame not to visit. We can also stroll across the splendid Roman Bridge and see some of the city's more hidden corners. The choice is yours! After the day, we'll take the train and return to our beloved Seville!
The heart of Seville
The Alcázar of Seville
Seville also has its own Alcázar, much larger than the one in Cordoba and the city's best-known symbol. During our visit, we will always be accompanied by peacocks, the interior rooms and patios will captivate us with all their Moorish details, and the gardens full of orange trees will be the perfect setting for the most beautiful palace in the city ! We will definitely want to take the time to admire the wonders of this palace, because a place like this is seen from very few places!
Not far away, the Casa de Pilatos awaits us, an ancient building with an incredible history. Want to discover it?
Piazza di Spagna
After lunch, it's finally time to enjoy one of the most beautiful squares in the world: Piazza di Spagna ! If you're looking for some amazing Instagram photos, then this is the perfect spot. Majolica tiles, bridges, porticoes, and impromptu flamenco shows will make you fall in love with this place, the coordinator promises. And if we want to hop aboard a little boat and sail under these colorful bridges, we can!
In the evening, we'll head north, where the city's most modern area awaits us: the Metropol Parasol . Imagine climbing up, seeing Seville from above as the sun sets, and the play of light as darkness falls. Unfortunately, this will be our last evening: we'll toast this magnificent journey with sangria and hug each other tightly.
Goodbye Spain!

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
About this trip
This journey begins at Seville. On the first day, we meet at 18:00.
Your Coordinator will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have.
This journey ends at Seville. On the last day, you are free to leave at any time, so whether you need to book a flight, a train, or wish to continue the journey on your own, you can organize your return as you prefer.
For this itinerary, you can choose the type of luggage you prefer – we always recommend a backpack, but you can also travel with a duffel bag, a holdall, or (it breaks our heart to say it) a cabin trolley case or a checked suitcase, as long as it’s moderate in size. Our Travel Coordinator will suggest the ideal luggage before departure in the WhatsApp group!
About Spain
If you are a UK citizen, to find out the entry requirements for Spain, you can check this informational page from our partner Sherpa. If you need a visa, you can apply for it through Sherpa. If you are not a UK citizen, you can still use Sherpa by changing the nationality in the 'Passport' section.
Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Spain – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

Spain mainly operates on Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1. During daylight saving time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, it switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.
If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 1pm in Spain during CET and 2pm during CEST.
Keep in mind that the Canary Islands follow Western European Time (WET), which is UTC+0, and Western European Summer Time (WEST), which is UTC+1 during daylight saving time.
Spain uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but as a rough guide:
- 1 GBP is about 1.15 EUR
- 1 USD is about 0.95 EUR
- 1 EUR is roughly 1 EUR
You can exchange currency at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels. It's also convenient to withdraw Euros directly from ATMs using your debit or credit card.
In Spain you can pay using cash, credit cards, or debit cards. Most places accept major credit cards like Visa and Mastercard. It's a good idea to have some cash on hand for smaller businesses, markets, or in rural areas where card payments might not be accepted.
ATMs are widely available for withdrawing cash if needed. Keep in mind that American Express may not be accepted everywhere, so it's better to have an alternative card as a backup.
Tipping in Spain is not mandatory, but it is appreciated for good service.
- In restaurants, it is common to leave a small tip of around 5 to 10 percent of the bill.
- In cafes and bars, you can leave some small change.
- For taxis, rounding up to the nearest euro is a nice gesture.
- Hotel staff, like bellhops and housekeepers, also appreciate a small tip for their services.
Remember, tipping is not expected but always welcomed.
In Spain, the internet is generally reliable and Wi-Fi is widely available in most urban areas, hotels, cafes, and restaurants. If you're traveling from Europe or the Schengen area, you can use roaming services, which means you won't need to buy a local SIM card for data use. However, if you're coming from outside Europe and want to ensure a stable connection, consider buying a local SIM or an e-SIM data plan. Popular providers include:
- Movistar
- Vodafone
- Orange
Wi-Fi is usually free in public places, but speeds can vary, so having mobile data as a backup is a good idea.
In Spain, the primary language spoken is Spanish, also known as Castilian. However, you might also encounter regional languages like Catalan, Galician, and Basque. Here are some useful Spanish expressions you might hear or use:
- Hello - Hola
- Thank you - Gracias
- Please - Por favor
- Excuse me - Perdón
- How much is it? - ¿Cuánto cuesta?
Being familiar with these can make your interactions smoother and more enjoyable.
In Spain, you'll find Type C and Type F plugs. The voltage is 230V and the frequency is 50Hz. If you're coming from a country that uses different plug types, like the UK or the USA, it's a good idea to bring a universal adapter to ensure your devices can be charged without any issues.
The main religion in Spain is Roman Catholicism. Catholic traditions play a significant role in Spanish culture, and many public holidays are religious, such as Easter and Christmas. Major celebrations like Semana Santa (Holy Week) feature processions and events throughout the country. While the majority identify as Catholic, Spain is quite secular, and other religions are practiced as well. Dress is generally casual, but if visiting religious sites, it's respectful to cover shoulders and knees.
Spain offers a diverse climate, so packing wisely will ensure you're prepared for any adventure.
Here's what you should include in your backpack for Spain:
-
Clothing
Lightweight shirts and shorts for hot days
Long pants and a light jacket for cooler evenings
Swimwear for the beaches
A scarf or shawl for visiting religious sites -
Shoes
Comfortable walking shoes for city exploration
Sandals or flip-flops for the beach

Spain's weather can vary greatly depending on the region, so here's a quick breakdown:
- Northern Spain: Expect cooler, wetter weather, especially in regions like Galicia and the Basque Country. Summers are mild, with temperatures around 20-25°C.
- Central Spain: In cities like Madrid, summers are hot and dry, often reaching 30-40°C. Winters can be chilly with temperatures around 5-10°C.

About WeRoad
Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.
As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
An "Available" departure means that the trip isn’t confirmed yet and we’re waiting for a few more travellers to sign up… which could be you!
If you book the trip please wait for it to be confirmed before booking your international flights.
The question of all questions! Here’s some more information:
- The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all travellers on the trip and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
- It is used to streamline payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do. This guarantees flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
- It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
- You’ll find the Money Pot amount on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the Money Pot’. To find this look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money Pot? Click here’ and you’ll find the details.
- The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
- It is usually used for group expenses that all travellers decide to take part in, but sometimes if you opt out of an activity it might make more sense for it to come out of the Money Pot. In these cases the Coordinator will return the amount for this activity back to you at the end of the trip.
- It is estimated based on the experience of other groups but can vary depending on what activities your group is keen for. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
- If not all of the Money Pot is spent, the difference will be returned to all travellers at the end of the trip.
- The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the Money Pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
- If you pay in advance for part of the Money Pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded if the trip is cancelled.
We offer several payment methods to fit every need:
1. Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Klarna (you’ll pay for the trip in three equal amounts);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation up to 31 days before departure, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
Yes! We might not know the flights for everyone else in the group, but there are ways to find out which flights your fellow WeRoaders will be taking.
1. All travellers can share their flight details after booking on their My WeRoad account so that other travellers on the same trip can see these details anonymously.
2. Alternatively you can join our Facebook group: Solo Travellers | WeRoad Community – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963298767843213 ) Look for a post about the trip you’re interested in or ask the group admin for help in getting in touch with your future travel companions!
3. If the Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you’re keen for, you can easily find their Facebook post on the website. Click 'Ask the Coordinator' and follow the link here.
Our groups usually consist of 8–12 travellers, with a minimum of 3–4 and a maximum of 15.
Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, with an average age of 34 across all trips.
Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Travel Coordinators, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported.
If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700.
Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking.
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked.
Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!
For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation.
The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Coordinator 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too!
The Coordinator will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. By default this will be people of the same gender, unless you tick ‘I'm OK with a mixed gender room’ when you book. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travellers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travellers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout.
Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email [email protected] if you have a preference on this.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here.
