Itinerary

Day 1

We meet at our allocated London airport for our direct scheduled flight to Malaga. On arrival in Spain we are met by our tour manager who will accompany us throughout our tour. We transfer in our private executive coach to the 4* Occidental Hotel at Granada for a two night stay. A welcome dinner is included in our hotel this evening.

Day 2

Our day begins with a guided tour of the Alhambra Palace (the exact timings of this visit are subject to availability). Dating from the 14th century, the Palace is the high point of Moorish culture and is recognised as the world’s greatest Moorish monument. With gardens, fortifications and sumptuous palaces, it was the home of many of the Arabic sultans who ruled the whole province. We then visit the Gardens of the Generalife. Adjacent to The Alhambra, these UNESCO listed gardens were the summer palace of the emirs who ruled this part of Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The rest of the day is at leisure in Granada to explore its maze of winding streets and old Christian and Jewish quarters. On an individual basis you may choose to visit the 16th century Gothic style cathedral. Dinner is included in our hotel this evening.

Day 3

From Granada we travel to Seville. En route we enjoy a guided tour at the Moorish capital of Cordoba, once famous for its Jewish community, and The Mezquita, the grandest mosque ever constructed by the Moors. We continue to Seville where we stay three nights at the 4* Macia Kubb Hotel. Dinner is included in our hotel this evening.

Day 4

A guided tour of Seville, the capital of Andalucia made famous by the Conquistadors, explores what was once one of the richest cities in the world and is now home to the world’s third largest cathedral. Our guided tour of the Reales Alacazares this afternoon introduces us to a stunning Moorish palace which was the Spanish kings’ royal residence for seven centuries. Dinner is included at a carefully selected restaurant close to our hotel this evening.

Day 5

This morning we visit the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, formerly a convent and now one of Spain’s finest galleries. The rest of the day is at leisure in Seville. Tonight you may choose to join our tour manager for an optional Flamenco evening in Seville.

Day 6

Lying within an amphitheatre of limestone hills and standing above 120m cliffs, Ronda is one of the most dramatically sited towns in Spain. The Moorish part of the town is divided from the modern part by the extraordinary Tajo, a 90m gorge with the river Guadelvin flowing below. After a guided city tour and some time at leisure for lunch, we continue to Malaga Airport for our direct scheduled flight back to London.
