{tab Day 1}

Arrive Madrid

Welcome to Madrid, Spain's capital city. Check into your hotel then relax & unwind. Later meet with your Travel Director & fellow travellers. This evening spend free time exploring on your own or join the group for a walking tour of the city & the chance to savour local ‘tapas' at a café on the Plaza Mayor.

Madrid Sightseeing & free time

Your Local Specialist shows you the sights of Madrid including the Cibeles fountain, the Gran Via, the Paseo de la Castellana & the Puerta del Sol. At Plaza de España, admire the monument to Cervantes. Afterwards consider an Optional Experience to the medieval city of Segovia - a UNESCO World Heritage site. This evening you might be tempted by Madrid's nightlife, where the locals dine late & enjoy the open-air cafés & vibrant atmosphere until the early hours.

{tab Day 3}

Madrid - Toledo - Seville

In the medieval city of Toledo – the ancient capital of Castile – your Local Specialist takes you on a walking tour through the quaint streets for views of the cathedral & synagogue. Toledo has been a traditional sword making & steel working centre since about 500 BC & was the standard source of weaponry for the Roman legions. Visit a steel workshop to see some fine examples of this age-old craft. Your journey continues south to Puerto Lapice where, reputedly, Don Quixote was dubbed ‘a knight' by a local innkeeper. The plains of La Mancha give way to the hills of Andalusia with striking whitewashed villages & churches. Arrive in Seville, a vibrant city & the home of bullfighting and flamenco.

Seville Sightseeing & free time

Admire the great monuments & sights of Seville with your Local Specialist. View the pavilions in Maria Luisa Park, constructed for the 1929 Exposition. Marvel at the mighty cathedral & La Giralda. Tonight you might like to experience the fire & passion of a Spanish flamenco show.

Seville - Granada

Start the day with a picturesque drive through beautiful villages to the Moorish city of Granada. Maybe consider joining an Optional Experience to explore the Alhambra Gardens.

Granada - Guadix - Valencia

Cross the Mora Pass through the superb scenery of the Sierra Nevada. Admire the cave dwellings in Guadix with time to take pictures. Continue through Murcia & the palm groves of Elche to Valencia, renowned for its orange fruit. See the bull ring, the great cathedral & the Towers of Serrano & Quart during your orientation tour. Stop to view the City of Arts & Sciences which is a large-scale urban recreation centre for culture & science, designed by Santiago Calatrava. This complex is also featured in the George Clooney movie Tomorrowland. Later arrive at your hotel where you dine tonight with your fellow travellers.

Valencia - Peniscola - Barcelona Sightseeing

Head north along the coast through the Levant region & stop at Peñiscola to view the ancient castle of the ‘Spanish Pope', used in the film El Cid. Continue along the Costa Dorada to Barcelona, Spain's most cosmopolitan city. Your Local Specialist takes you on a wonderful sightseeing tour, which includes seeing Gaudi's Sagrada Familia & the Plaza Catalunya. See the lively Ramblas & enjoy spectacular views of the city from Montjuïc. Tonight, consider visiting a Catalan-style restaurant for a delicious dinner of local specialities.
