    In the past, its charm and prosperity attracted a myriad of Arabs to come here for trade and business, making it so colorful and successful, far beyond the reach of other cities. Nowadays, Valencia is still a significant city for commerce and trade. It is also famous for the local delicacy Spanish paella and the renowned festival Las Fallas.
    After that, we will explore old towns, visiting the local squares, ancient city gates and Cathedral de Valencia. The most appealing part of this cathedral is the agate cup housed in the Chapel of the Holy Grail. It is believed to be the Holy Grail used by Jesus in the story of the Last Supper.

In the past, this city was the capital of Islamic Caliphate, guardian of Andalusian culture, and the birthplace of Flamenco. The year 1992 witnessed its refulgence as being the venue for the World Exposition. Upon arrival, we will visit the grand Seville Cathedral built in the 16th century. Next to the High Altar of Seville Cathedral is the Columbus’s tomb, where local people honor Columbus’s great achievement for the Age of Exploration. Afterward, we will explore Alcazar of Seville, a palace that witnessed the history of Islamic royalty and Spanish royalty. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage in 1987.
