A full day tour of Seville, starting and finishing in Granada. Seville warrants longer than a day, but if you're pressed for time, this tour is excellent.

If you have six or more people in your group, you'd be better off going for the Private version of this tour (see further down the page).

3. Tour of the Tropical Coast and Caves of Nerja (from Granada)

Public transport to Nerja and the coast in general is quite poor, so unless you are hiring a car, this is perhaps the best way for you to see the region.

4. Tour of the Sierra Nevada (from Granada)
