Decorate a traditional "botijo" with a master ceramist

Discover Andalusian craftsmanship and explore the history of the botijo, a traditional clay vessel made to cool water that is integral to Spain’s dry, sun-drenched climate. We’ll work together at my artisan workshop for a hands-on ceramic painting experience. • I’ll explain the botijo’s evolution from utilitarian object to cultural icon, its significance in Spanish households, and its artistic legacy in works by Goya and Velázquez. • Learn the UNESCO-recognized lime painting technique from Morón de la Frontera, which has protected the botijo’s cooling function for centuries. • Let’s paint! Using traditional pigments and techniques, personalize your own botijo, following Andalusian patterns or creating your own unique design. I’ll offer guidance and tips throughout. You’ll leave with a fully functional, handpainted botijo as a unique souvenir from your adventure in Seville—and a connection to the city’s artisanal heritage.

Encounter historic Seville with a landscape architect

Explore the historic buildings and green spaces of Seville through a walk with me, an expert landscape designer, and meet some of the city’s remarkable trees. • Start at the Puerta de Jerez, admiring the historical details on 16th-century chapels and the 12th-century Torre del Oro. • Wander through the historic center of town through the famous Plaza de España to visit the Murillo Gardens, once part of the orchards of the Royal Alcázar. • After stops at the Jewish Quarter, the Archive of the Indies, and the Plaza del Triunfo, conclude our walk at the Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, which preserves part of the old mosque. To take a piece of Seville home with you, you’ll receive a special gift: seeds from some of the tree species we’ve encountered.

Trace Seville’s ceramic legacy along the Guadalquivir

Seville’s identity has always been shaped by the Guadalquivir River, and this waterfront walk reveals why. I’ll show you the city through an architectural lens, mapping its evolution from medieval to modern times. Along the way, you’ll explore how Seville’s ceramic heritage has left a lasting impact on its skyline, from the grand palaces at the historic center to the artisan workshops of Triana. • Begin with an exclusive visit to the Navigation Pavilion Tower, a modern landmark from Expo 92. From its panoramic platform, take in an aerial view of Seville’s historic center, Triana, and the architectural legacy that lines the riverbanks. • Stroll along the Guadalquivir, retracing the trade routes that once transported Seville’s renowned ceramics. • Then, step inside Centro Cerámica Triana, a restored pottery factory where Andalusian tiles were crafted for palaces, churches, and courtyards. You’ll get an up-close look at the meticulous restoration work that brought this cultural treasure back to life. As a lasting memory, you’ll take home a handcrafted ceramic tile—a tribute to Triana’s artistry and Seville’s beloved ceramic tradition. If you’d like to extend your journey, you can dine at Alfarería 21, a restaurant housed in a former pottery factory, surrounded by restored kilns, original tilework, and echoes of centuries-old craftsmanship.
