5-Day Trip to Andalucia and Toledo

Day 1 (Monday): Madrid – Córdoba – Seville

Climb on board a luxury air-conditioned coach at 8:30 am in central Madrid and sit back and relax during the drive through Castilla La Mancha, land of Don Quixote while you enjoy the imposing landscape of Despeñaperros.

Upon arrival in Córdoba, follow your guide on a fascinating tour of what was once the capital of Islamic Spain. Visit the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the old town. Explore the medieval Jewish quarter, a network of narrow alleyways flanked by white houses with its typical Andalusian patios and balconies full of flowers.

Board the coach in the afternoon and head to your hotel in Seville.

Day 2 (Tuesday): Seville

After a tasty breakfast, you’ll set off on a panoramic tour of Seville, one of the most-visited cities in Spain. Marvel at the majestic Cathedral and the Giralda, originally built as a minaret during the Arab period. Next, you’ll visit the authentic Sevillian neighborhood called Santa Cruz, the scene of many legends and stories including the renowned love affair between Don Juan Tenorio and Doña Inés.

Then, your guide will lead you to the Maria Luisa Park, along the Guadalquivir River and to the beautifully decorated Plaza de España. For lunch, you’ll have time to eat at your own leisure and continue exploring the metropolis. And in the evening, you can enjoy a Flamenco Show (optional), so emblematic of this part of Spain and its mix of cultures. An essential experience for any visitor to Andalusia!

Day 3 (Wednesday): Seville – Granada

Board the coach and head east to Granada, through the route of the Caliphate, the last bastion of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. Upon arrival, you’ll walk through its charming, winding streets, and admire its many palaces, monuments and landmarks. And, if there's one thing you simply cannot miss, it's the 14th-century fortress built by Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar. You’ll visit one of the country’s iconic symbols, the renowned Alhambra and the gardens of the Generalife.

Afterwards, enjoy a panoramic tour of Granada and delight in a Zambra show, a type of Flamenco dance, typical of the Gypsies of Granada in the Sacromonte neighbourhood.

You'll have the fourth day free in Granada to continue discovering the Nasrid capital and all its wonders at your leisure. If you wish, you can take an optional tour of the Albaicín neighbourhood.
