Majestic Journey Through Spain's Heart
Begin in Madrid and finish back in the capital on a 7–day spin through Spain’s classics. Explore grand boulevards, Retiro and the Santiago Bernabéu, then head south across La Mancha to Granada for Albaicín lanes and Alhambra views. Trace the Tropical Coast via Nerja and Málaga, climb to dramatic Ronda, and settle into soulful Seville – cathedral, Giralda, Santa Cruz and a leisurely cruise on the Guadalquivir, with optional flamenco after dark. Continue to Córdoba’s exquisite Mosque–Cathedral and Jewish Quarter, then pause at Consuegra’s storybook windmills before returning to Madrid – a well–paced mix of culture, scenery and tapas.
