October opens in Andalusia with the feeling that the old trees still speak, their twisting trunks and citrus shade shaping the region’s garden identity. This first week takes you from Seville’s Alcázar — where “rooms open directly into courtyards, water cools the air, and citrus trees form shade” — to Granada’s Generalife and the Alhambra, the origin point of Mediterranean garden logic
October is when the Mediterranean softens and its gardens become clear, quiet, and
deeply enjoyable. This intro week shows travelers how to read the geometry, shade,
water, and terraces that shape Mediterranean garden tours—and why shoulder season
is the best time to explore them.
