Why this journey

Discover Spain through a route that brings together its capital energy, Andalusian heritage and Catalan style in one eight-day journey. Begin in Madrid, where broad boulevards, the historic Habsburg quarter and the lively centre around Puerta del Sol set the pace for your first sightseeing day. The itinerary also gives time for Toledo, a UNESCO-listed hill town known for its layered Christian, Muslim and Jewish history and its remarkably preserved old centre.

From Madrid, travel south to Seville for a stay shaped by grand squares, elegant parkland and the intimate lanes of Barrio de Santa Cruz. The following day adds a different view of the city with its contemporary architectural landmarks and the atmosphere around Isla de la Cartuja and Plaza de la Encarnación. It is a balanced way to experience Seville beyond the familiar postcard scenes, with enough time to appreciate its mix of old and new.

The journey continues to Granada, where the setting at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada adds drama to one of Spain's most important historic cities. Here, the highlight is the Alhambra, with entrance included, allowing you to explore one of Europe’s most celebrated monuments as part of the package. The final stretch takes you to Barcelona, where Gothic heritage, elegant avenues and the city’s modernist character create a distinct change of pace.

Your Barcelona stay includes a half-day city tour and an excursion to Montserrat, giving the itinerary a memorable finish with mountain views and a renowned monastery less than an hour from the city. With private transfers, daily breakfast and a route that connects Spain’s most recognizable cultural centres, this Spain holiday suits travellers looking for a well-paced tour with meaningful sightseeing and strong city-to-city variety.
