Days

Head south to the folkloric heart of Spain, where the influence of its Moorish past can not only be seen across the architectural landscape but also felt within the reverberating sound of the Spanish guitar or the stomping of a fervent flamenco dancer. Cities like Seville, Granada, and Cordoba come alive in the evenings once the midday sun has set, oftentimes with boisterous outdoor festivals. The bars in Andalucia are known for their generous tapas, and a couple of drinks can easily turn into dinner.

Madrid
The Spanish capital is one of Europe's trendiest cities at the moment, and it's easy to see why. Every neighborhood is like its own little destination, and there is always a buzzing energy whether at the Sunday morning market or late-night fiestas.

  • Get a food tour of the city's most authentic spots, highlighting the very best of Spanish cuisine in restaurants that are sometimes hundreds of years old (literally!).
  • For soccer fans, or fútbol as it's known in Spain, taking a behind-the-scenes tour of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (where Real Madrid plays), is an obligatory stop on your trip to Madrid.
  • Take a day trip to a nearby town such as Toledo or Segovia, with histories dating back centuries or even millennia.


Granada
Granada, a city where the echoes of centuries past resonate through the intricate palaces of the Alhambra, where the fragrance of orange blossoms fills the air, and where the essence of Andalusia comes alive in its lively neighborhoods and passionate Flamenco rhythms.

  • Visit the Alhambra with an expert guide.
  • Explore the Jewish sector of Granada.
  • Stroll through Albayzin, the city's famed Arab quarter, and dine with views of Alhambra.
  • Go on a tapas tour at night with a local foodie and taste all the best dishes of Andalucia.
  • Take a day trip to the historical cities of Ubeda and Baeza to admire Renaissance architecture.


Cordoba
Cordoba is world-renowned for its splendid Moorish buildings dating from the Islamic era, and it also boasts a rich Sephardic history.
