Your Itinerary
DAY 1: UK - Madrid.
Fly to Madrid where you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for two nights. Enjoy free time to relax and get a flavour of the Spanish capital. (D)
DAY 2: Madrid.
Madrid is steeped in history and cleverly combines past and present, making it a stylish and fascinating city. Today, you will check off the main sights, including the huge Puerta del Sol, graced by the city's emblem - a statue of a bear - and other landmarks such as the Parliament, the Moorish-style Plaza de España and Cibeles fountain. The afternoon is yours to explore further or perhaps take an optional excursion. (B)
DAY 3: Madrid - Toledo - Cordoba.
Enjoy the views as you drive to Toledo, perched on a hill ringed by the Tagus River. Admire its Moorish Alcantara Bridge and 13th century cathedral and see the Church of Santo Tome, home to El Greco's masterpiece, the 'Burial of the Count of Orgaz'. Then it's on to Cordoba, another of Spain's historic gems, and a most beguiling Andalucian city. (B, D)
DAY 4: Cordoba - Seville.
This morning join your included sightseeing tour of Cordoba, whose origins are rooted in Spain's Roman and Moorish past. See its magical Alcazar, graceful Roman bridge and medieval Jewish quarter before touring the magnificent 8th century Mosque of the Caliphs, with its forest of 1,000 marble and jasper pillars. This afternoon, continue your journey to Seville, the home of flamenco. (B)
DAY 5: Seville.
Get to know this charming city, as your guide leads you around some of its signature sights. Admire Maria Luisa Park, with its profusion of palms; see the 'Tower of Gold'; delve into the picturesque Santa Cruz quarter, ambling around its flower-filled alleyways, then marvel at the gigantic, Gothic Cathedral. The highlight though, is the 11th century Moorish Alcazar, with its stunning Palacio de Don Pedro. After your tour, the rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore more sights. (B, D)
DAY 6: Seville - Costa del Sol.
After breakfast it is time to head to the coast and an afternoon perhaps of relaxing by the sea. En route, you will stop first in Ronda, an impressive town bisected by a deep gorge which is spanned by an iconic arched bridge, before heading to glitzy Marbella, and a glimpse at how the other half live. Then, after arriving at your overnight hotel, the afternoon is yours to do as you please. (B)
DAY 7: Costa del Sol - Granada.
One of the highpoints of your holiday awaits today - a visit with a local guide to Granada's Alhambra complex. Commissioned by the 13th century Moorish ruler, Al Ahamar, this breathtaking fortress-come-palace stands against the snow-tipped Sierra Nevada. Your tour takes you through the water gardens of the Generalife, the summer palace of the sultans. (B, D)
DAY 8: Granada - Madrid.
This morning, take your leave of Andalucia, enjoying the last views of the Sierra Nevada, as you return to Madrid. (B)
