Holiday Itinerary

DAY 1: UK - Malaga area.
Fly to Malaga where you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for an overnight stay.

DAY 2: Malaga area - Granada.
We begin the day with an included orientation drive around Malaga, before we head inland through grandiose scenery to Santa Fe. It was here that, in 1492, Columbus obtained the go-ahead for his voyage to the New World. Just six miles away is Granada, located at the foot of the great Sierra Nevada mountain range, where you will stay for two nights. (B, D)

DAY 3: Granada. Included guided tour of the Alhambra.
Today sees one of the highlights of your trip - our included sightseeing tour of the famous Alhambra complex with a local guide. This splendid example of Moorish architecture stands on a hilltop overlooking the city and backed by the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The rest of the day is yours so why not join our optional city sightseeing to discover the delights of the ancient Moorish city of Granada. (B, D)

DAY 4: Granada - Cordoba.
Drive north-west by way of Baena and the undulating vineyards of Andalucia, for a stop in Montilla where you'll visit a typical Andalucian wine bodega. Next to Cordoba. This is perhaps Spain's most Moorish city and an optional tour takes you to its great mosque, known as one of Islam's greatest pieces of architecture outside the Arab world. You'll enjoy the small whitewashed houses with their patios opening onto the winding streets and small squares. Afternoon at leisure. (B, D)

DAY 5: Cordoba - Seville.
We journey further south into the very heart of Andalucia, first to the picturesque town of Ecija, then to Carmona, dominated by an ancient Alcazar. Just a few more miles brings us to the elegant city of Seville, where you will have the rest of the day to find your bearings and do a little exploring. In the evening there's a chance to experience the colourful spectacle of Seville's famous dance culture at our optional Flamenco excursion. (B, D)

DAY 6: Seville.
The day is yours to do some serious sightseeing around the beautiful Andalucian capital. Why not join us for an optional city sightseeing to see many of Seville's highlights. (B)

DAY 7: Seville - Algeciras - Gibraltar - Malaga area.
Today we head south via the busy port of Algeciras to the unique Rock of Gibraltar, a tiny British outpost surrounding a 400 metres mountain of Jurassic limestone. The Rock's most famous residents are, of course, the tailless Barbary apes, descended from pets brought by sailors from North Africa. We end the day with a drive along the coast road to the Malaga area for an overnight stay. (B)

DAY 8: Malaga area - UK.
Transfer to Malaga airport for your flight to the UK. (B)
