Trip Overview:
This 9-day Spanish vacation offers an ideal introduction to Spain, taking you to three of its largest and most popular cities: Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. It features first-class accommodations and small group tours.
Start in Madrid, Spain’s capital and beating cultural heart. Take a day to settle into your accommodation, conveniently located on the Gran Via just steps from the Metro, and explore this great city at your own pace. Learn about the city’s imperial past with a walking tour that takes you alongside Hapsburg palaces and monuments. Then, skip the line and enter the majestic Royal Palace, the largest royal palace in Europe, comprising of over 3,000 rooms within 135,000 square meters (larger than England's Buckingham Palace and France's Palace of Versailles". That evening, learn about the history of tapas and enjoy treats at a few of the best local tapa bars and hideouts in the city. The next day, head on a full day tour of the city of Toledo, which is world-renowned for its blending of Arab, Jewish, and Catholic cultures. Explore its mix of churches, mosques, and synagogues and admire some of the local artisans at work.
Take the train south to Seville, the capital city of the southern region of Andalusia, which is defined by its dry topography and Moorish cultural influences. Enjoy a day seeing some of the city’s icons on a tour, including the university, the old tobacco factory (think Bizet’s Carmen), San Telmo Palace, the Royal Alcazar, and the narrow streets of the old Jewish quarter of Santa Cruz. Then enjoy a demonstration of a classic Andalusian art form at the Flamenco Show. Feast on a dinner of tapas and drinks while you listen to the floral rhythms of Flamenco. Another day, visit the nearby city of Ronda, situated on a plateau cleaved by the deep course of the Guadalevin River. Stroll the city’s old quarter, among the oldest in the nation, and enjoy the views of the mountain crags from lookouts and the New Bridge.
Ride the train to Barcelona, seemingly a world away from the rest of Spain, embodying the unique culture, architecture, food, and spirit of Catalonia. As you did in Madrid, you’ll head on a walking tour to discover the unique tapas dishes that define the flavours of Catalonia. The next day, discover the city’s major sites on a small group tour that includes the city’s must-sees. You’ll see some of Gaudi’s masterpieces, including La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, as well as the old streets of Barrio Gotico and the Catalunya National Art Museum.
At the end of your stay, connect to the airport to return home.
