Accommodations
We'll stay at the beautiful Hacienda de Orán in Seville, which dates back to the 17th Century. Extending over 400 acres of farmland, the Hacienda's tower and noble white-washed entrance to the property are surrounded by olive groves and palm trees. It is also known as the The Cross of the Friar according to the story of the legendary Andalusian bandolero, Diego Corrientes, who was known for his enormous generosity to the common people. In addition to a gorgeous pool and outdoor patios, there is also a Museum of carriages on the property, which is one of the best private collections of horse-drawn carriages in all of Spain. All of the rooms have been restored and wonderfully decorated in typical Andalusian style.
