Day 1 . Arrive Madrid Weekly - Year Round
MADRID - CORDOBA - SEVILLE -Saturday & Tuesday
Departure from the tour terminal, Oriente Sq., set out by 9 a.m., making the most of our time aboard to introduce ourselves to each other and learn more about what lies ahead. Our route takes us into La Mancha, the landscape of romance and adventure where Don Quixote tilted at windmills.

We'll wind across hills and down into irrigated valleys, to Puerto Lápice, a town lost in time, looking much as it did in the seventeenth century. We might even espy the establishment where an innkeeper conferred knighthood upon Don Quixote. Then we’ll pass onward through the region of Valdepeñas, where fine Tempranillo grapes are grown, and cross the Canyon of Despeñaperros, and pass through the town of Bailén on our way to Cordoba.

Here we'll visit the famous Mosque, one of the most notable in the days of Moorish rule.

Then we'll continue onward to Andalusia,Ecija, Carmona and Seville where comfortable beds await us in Seville.

Day 2 . SEVILLE (Breakfast ) - Sunday & Wednesday
Breakfast - We'll stay all day in Seville, where the Moors have left their mark in whitewashed houses, tile roofs, graceful archways, and a warren of intimate lanes with surprises at every turn.

Our visit will take us to the monumental and stunning tower of La Giralda, the Cathedral that once echoed with daily calls to prayer, and the Palace of the Alcazar, with its delicately carved stonework and pleasure gardens that still delight.

Your afternoon is free to wander the alleyways of Seville on your own, and perhaps to stop in and sample the tapas at an inviting establishment

Breakfast and departure to Jerez where an important wine cellar will be visited. Continue to Cádiz, with a Panoramic tour of the city then it is on to to Tarifa and Algeciras. Optional visit to Gibraltar, continuing to Costa del Sol, where your comfortable bed awaist you .

Day 4 . COSTA DEL SOL - GRANADA (Breakfast ) - Tuesday & Friday
Take your time! Morning at leisure before wehead for Granada.
Explore Granada independently on your own . Perhaps you’ll return to the fabled Alhambra for a stroll through its fantastical gardens. Or, you can wander the Albaicin, the last quarter of the city occupied by the Moors, with its charming maze of alleys lined with houses with secret patios. According to whim and interest, you’ll visit the museum of composer Manuel de Falla, or the Fine Arts or Archaeology museum, or spend your day café-sitting and shopping. We’ll be pleased to arrange a tour, if you wish, from a number of options.
