Eight centuries of Al-Andalus — the Mezquita, the Alhambra and halal food that's easier than you think

Al-Andalus Heritage — halal small-group tour

Spain is the trip people assume will be difficult, and the one that surprises them most. The Mezquita of Córdoba and the Alhambra are the two great buildings of Muslim Spain and both are open to everyone. Halal food takes planning rather than luck, so we plan it stop by stop: a shortlist of Muslim-owned restaurants in each city, checked before the group arrives.

Halal food & prayer

Halal in Spain takes planning rather than luck. We run a shortlist of Muslim-owned and halal-certified restaurants in Madrid, Córdoba, Granada and Seville, checked before the group arrives. Every included meal is halal; seafood and vegetarian backups are pre-planned.

Madrid, Córdoba, Granada and Seville all have mosques near the centre, and the Mezquita and the Alhambra both have prayer space on site. Prayer times sit on the daily schedule.

Questions about Al-Andalus Heritage

Is halal food really available in Spain?

Yes, in the cities on this route — but not on every corner. That is why we hand you a restaurant shortlist rather than leaving you to search.

Can I pray at the Alhambra?

There is prayer space within the complex and mosques a short walk away in the Albaicín. Your guide will point out both.

How much walking is there?

A fair amount — the Alhambra and the Albaicín involve hills and steps. We keep the pace slow and build in free afternoons.

$2,299 per person Halal dining guaranteed, prayer times built into every day, alcohol-free group, max 16 travellers.
