Next is the Royal Alcázar, a fortified palace complex that perfectly fuses Mudéjar architecture with lush gardens, its intricate tilework and shadowy courtyards inviting reflection and discovery alike.

Midday presents a chance to savor authentic Andalusian tapas in a local tavern, where traditional flavors like jamón ibérico, manchego cheese, and marinated olives offer a tangible taste of regional culture.
