We will pick you up at your hotel and, drive into Santiponce, on the outskirts of Seville. Once there, we will walk into the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, marvel at statues, columns, beautifully persevered floor tiles and frescoes. You will even notice the Roman style trees, just as those you could see along the Apian Way in the Italian capital.
