Day 2: Osuna: Half Day Tour – Departure To Seville

After breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide at 09:30 at the parking area of El Coto de las Canteras, located just a 15-minute walk from your accommodation. Here you will begin a guided visit of this remarkable archaeological enclave, known as La Petra de Andalucía – a name attributed to Nobel Prize-winning writer Mario Vargas Llosa. This impressive quarry, situated on a private estate belonging to the Ramos Lobo family, was used continuously since the 5th century BC by Iberian, Roman, and Andalusi communities, each leaving behind visible traces of their passage. During the visit, you will also see the sculptural works created in 2004 by local artist Francisco Valdivia Gómez, including La Fuente del Lobo, El Relieve de la Vendimia, and a large Iberian‑inspired lion, all reflecting the historical narrative of the site. After exploring the quarry, continue with your guide to the monumental Osuna’s quarter to visit the Colegiata de Osuna, admired for its imposing baroque façade and the valuable religious artworks housed inside. From there, proceed to the nearby Monastery and then stroll through the historic streets of San Pedro and Sevilla before reaching the Plaza Mayor. The itinerary also includes the exterior of the 16th‑century University of Osuna, one of the town’s most emblematic buildings. Your guided tour concludes in the Colegiata area, marking the end of this four‑hour journey through the historical and archaeological highlights of Osuna. After completing the journey through Osuna’s archaeological and historical heritage, enjoy a well‑deserved lunch (not included) in the town center at one of its traditional restaurants – excellent options include Mesón del Duque, Restaurante Guadalupe, Taberna Jicales, or La Cantina Kulinaria, all known for authentic Andalusian cuisine. Following lunch, your driver will meet you and provide a comfortable transfer back to Seville city or directly to the airport, depending on your onward travel plans.
