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

Tempranillo grapes are grown, and cross the Canyon of Despeñaperros,
and pass through the town of Bailén on our way to Cordoba.

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.

DAY

We say adiós to Seville this morning, and embark across Andalusia,
the spectacular ridge of the Sierra Nevada forming a backdrop to
our journey, coated in snow well into springtime. With all the spectacular
vistas along the way, we’ll be in Granada before we know it.
We’ll visit the Palace of the Alhambra, which inspired caliphs,
conquerors, and writers as noted as Washington Irving, with its
magnificent
rooms and intricately decorated Moorish archways. We’ll stroll
through its fabled Generalife gardens and summer residence of the
caliphs, of course, and there will be time to wander and shop on
your own before you retire to your lodgings.

Take your time! We’ built an extra day into this itinerary
to allow you to explore Granada independently. 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.

of
the knights, Avila of the saints! The city is completely encircled
by 11th-century walls, and more than a city, it resembles a great
castle.
Avila has a number of Romanesque churches, Gothic palaces and a
fortified Cathedral from 12th century. The city was the birthplace
of St. Teresa de Jesús, one of the greatest mystics of the
Catholic Church. We'll stop at Cerro de Los Cuatro Postes to admire
one of the best views of the city. Our visit will include the Cathedral*
and St. Teresa's Convent, continuing to Segovia.

of medieval structures in all of Spain.

as La Granja white beans, roast veal or pork.
