Hit the ground running in Madrid with an orientation drive, getting your first glimpse of the capital city’s grand plazas and historic landmarks.

Kick off the day with a city tour of Madrid alongside a Local Specialist, uncovering its rich history and iconic sights. The afternoon is yours to explore the city at your own pace or join an optional trip to Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to see its towering Roman aqueduct, medieval Alcázar and impressive Gothic cathedral. - Day 3 – Madrid to Granada Via Toledo:
Leave Madrid behind for Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its sword-making heritage. With a Local Specialist, visit the Church of Santo Tomé, home to El Greco’s masterpiece ‘The Burial of the Count of Orgaz’, and explore a historic synagogue. Watch artisans at work at Damasquinados Suarez, a sword-making workshop, before continuing to Granada, nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, where dinner awaits. - Day 4 – En Route to Costa del Sol:
This morning, step into the world of emirs and kings with a guided tour of the Alhambra, a masterpiece of Moorish architecture. Built in 1238, it later became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. Leaving Granada behind, travel to the Costa del Sol, where golden beaches and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere await. Settle into your surroundings and enjoy a free evening to unwind, stroll along the promenade, or savour fresh seafood at a local restaurant. - Day 5 – See Sunny Costa del Sol:

Wander its maze-like streets, browse colourful souks and visit the Kasbah Fortress, a historic stronghold now home to a museum and peaceful gardens. Later, return to Tangier for one last night in Morocco. - Day 8 – Cross the Strait of Gibraltar to Seville:
Sail back across the Strait of Gibraltar, swapping the spice-scented souks of Morocco for the sun-drenched landscapes of Andalusia. By evening, arrive in Seville, where the night is yours. - Day 9 – Historic Seville:

See the Giralda Bell Tower, visit Seville Cathedral, the resting place of Christopher Columbus, and wander the former Jewish Quarter.
