Upon arrival at Madrid's airport, you'll be welcomed and transferred to your hotel, where you can settle in and enjoy some free time to relax or begin exploring at your own pace. Be sure to check the information signs at the reception area for details about the welcome meeting with your guide and fellow travellers. In the evening, we'll provide a transfer to Plaza Mayor and La Latina, Madrid's most famous neighbourhood for nightlife and tapas restaurants, where you can choose to dine at any restaurant you prefer from a variety of options including Spanish, Indian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

The morning begins with a comprehensive tour of central Madrid, featuring highlights like Paseo del Prado, Cibeles, Neptuno, Puerta de Alcalá, Plaza de Colón, and Plaza Mayor. We'll then visit Retiro Park, a beautiful oasis in the city centre, where we'll see the lake and the Palacio de Cristal. Admission is included to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid—considered by many to be the best football club in the world. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon at your leisure, and in the evening, we'll provide a return transfer to your hotel.

We depart from Madrid early in the morning, heading south through La Mancha, with our first stop in Puerto Lápice, a charming Manchego village evocative of Don Quixote. We continue into Andalusia via Despeñaperros, arriving in Granada where lunch is included. In the afternoon, if you have chosen the option that includes a visit to the Alhambra, we'll explore the magnificent Alhambra Palace and its beautiful Generalife Gardens with a local guide. Please note that visitor numbers to the Alhambra are strictly regulated, and tickets will be issued upon confirming your tour reservation—accurate personal details are essential at the time of booking.

Today we'll enjoy spectacular landscapes as we leave behind the Sierra Nevada mountain range, continuing along the Mediterranean on the so-called Tropical Coast, where the mild year-round microclimate allows for the cultivation of tropical fruits such as guavas, mangoes, and avocados. We stop in Nerja, a charming seaside town with impressive cliffs, before continuing to Málaga, the capital of the Costa del Sol, where you'll have time for lunch and a stroll through the city centre. Afterward, we head into the Andalusian sierras and arrive in Ronda, a stunning white town famous for its dramatic gorge that splits the city in two. We continue to Seville, arriving in the late afternoon, with dinner included at the hotel.

In the morning, we'll embark on a city tour of Seville, where you'll see the cathedral with its famous Giralda, the banks of the Guadalquivir River, and the popular neighbourhoods of Santa Cruz and Triana. After the tour, enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the Guadalquivir River offering stunning panoramic views. In the evening, you'll have the option to attend a popular flamenco tablao.

We'll leave Seville, following the Guadalquivir Valley to Córdoba, famous for its past as the capital of the Caliphate of Córdoba in Islamic times. With a local guide, we'll enjoy a visit to the stunning Mosque–Cathedral, followed by exploration of the charming Jewish Quarter, known for its narrow streets and flower-filled patios. After lunch, we'll leave for Castilian lands, making a stop in Consuegra, where 12 giant windmills next to the castle overlook the La Mancha plain. We'll visit the Rucio Mill before heading to Madrid at the end of the day.

After breakfast, our journey will come to an end, leaving you with wonderful lasting memories.
