   The lively capital of Spain is your launchpad to a memorable encounter with one of Europe's most soulful destinations.

This evening, join your fellow travellers and Travel Director for an orientation drive followed by dinner.

2. 2

   Explore Vibrant Toledo

   Head to Toledo, the former capital of Spain, where you will join a Local Specialist for a walking tour of this city that dates back to Roman times. You'll visit a traditional factory and Dive into Culture, witnessing the age-old inlaid-steel craft, before seeing one of El Greco's most famous paintings in the Church of Santo Tomé – 'The Burial of the Count of Orgaz'. You'll also visit the synagogue, before returning to Madrid to admire the exterior of the Royal Palace and Cibeles Fountain with your Local Specialist. Spend the evening on your own, or delve into the sights and flavours of Spain's capital with an Optional Experience.

   Journey to Córdoba and on to Seville

   Journey through the plains of La Mancha, a region made famous by the tale of Don Quixote, and arrive in Córdoba. With a Local Specialist, visit the Mosque of the Caliphs, uncovering stories of cultural exchange and architectural legacy. Continue to Seville, where you’ll stay for the next two nights. Join your hosts at a local olive oil farm for a Be My Guest experience. Learn how olives are grown and pressed, hear about life in the countryside and sample some of the oils produced on site.

In the evening, consider an Optional Experience to see, hear and feel the mysterious and ineffable charm of a traditional flamenco show.

5. 5

   Onwards to Granada

   Multicultural Granada takes centre stage today, as you visit the magnificent Alhambra in the company of a Local Specialist. An exquisite example of Moorish architecture, the Alhambra complex was built towards the end of Islamic rule in Spain. Wander through the exotic water gardens of the Generalife, the royal Summer Palace, once linked to the other palaces by a covered walkway across the ravine.

6. 6

   Admire Iconic Architecture in Guadix and on to Valencia

   This morning, journey via the Mora Pass to Guadix in the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. You’ll see the whitewashed troglodyte dwellings lodged into the ochre-coloured cliffs of the surrounding area, then travel to Valencia, where you’ll see the Bullring and admire the medieval architecture of the Quart and Serranos towers. Embrace the city's spirit of innovation and stop to view the City of Arts and Sciences, a large scale urban recreation centre for culture and science.
