SPAIN
13 DAYS
The Alhambra Palace, Granada
Grand Tour of Spain Spain is one of the top destinations in Europe, famous for the influences of multiple civilisations on its culture and architecture – all will be revealed on our Grand Tour as we explore some of the country’s most impressive cities! Known as the ‘Imperial City’ and the ‘City of the Three Cultures’, Toledo is a delight to explore, being relatively small and surrounded by the River Tagus on three sides and medieval walls on the fourth. Our time in Madrid is well spent, too, with a guided tour introducing us to the fabulous city before time at leisure allows us to explore further. The second half of our holiday leads us to Granada’s spectacular Moorish Alhambra Palace, with its extraordinary architecture and wonderful views, before time in Seville uncovers more tremendous architecture courtesy of Seville Cathedral. Our last stop is Salamanca and we end on a high, admiring cathedrals, bridges, plazas and medieval graffiti.
