particularly from San Nicolás Church. Other key sites in the quarter include the ruins of an Arab
bath complex and the Church of San Salvador, located on the site of the Great Mosque of
Granada. More than just about any single place in Spain, this old quarter from Granada’s
medieval Moorish past provides a strong suggestion of what the city was like during the long
occupation by the Moors, which ended with the Reconquest by Ferdinand V and his queen,
Isabella I, on January 2, 1492.

Day 7: On to Arcos de la Frontera via Osuna and Estepa. This morning, meet Ivan, your
private guide for the next 4 days, and a separate driver (transport by Mercedes Viano or Vito
deluxe minivan). Ivan will lead you to two towns which date to the Roman period and were
important in later years, as evidenced by a legacy of outstanding structures, many from the
Baroque period. You’ll
depart Granada and
travel 2 hrs to the town of
Osuna, where Ivan will
lead you on a walking
tour of the historic city
center. Known as the
Turdetani Urso, Osuna
extends along a slope of
a small hill which served
as a watchtower over the
extensive fields of olive
trees and cereals in the Sevillian countryside. Its long history has left a legacy of interesting
monuments and artistic works from the various cultures that have settled in the town in the past.
