Optionals

On every itinerary, we offer a range of optional excursions that allow you to further enhance your experience should you so choose. These are purchased when you are on your trip, via your Trafalgar Travel Director. Depending on the region visited these can be paid with cash or credit card.

  • MADRID

    • + FOUNTAINS AND PLAZAS OF MADRID WITH DINNER This evening tour offers us the chance to admire the elegance of the new city, with its wide, tree-lined avenues and decorative fountains, before we experience the flavour of the old. Join the locals in a little idle chat and "people-watching" as they sip an aperitif before dinner. Drinks included.

  • BARCELONA

    • + PARK GUELL AND DINNER AT PORT OLYMPIC With our Local Guide, we visit Park Guell, a living museum to Gaudi's eccentric sculptures and style. Then a typical dinner of Catalan cuisine on the marina of Port Olympic, with local wines etc. included.

    • + MONTSERRAT Leaving Barcelona, we head for the sacred mountain of Catalonia. Ascending this staggering rock formation we admire its spectacular panoramic views before arriving at the 'Basilica Real'. Here, newly-weds pledge their vows to the mystical Black Virgin.

  • GRANADA

    • + GYPSY NIGHT OUT This evening we are taken to the old quarter of Granada, which affords the finest views over the illuminated Alhambra Palace. Here we will enjoy the passionate 'Zambra' dances by Sacromonte's famous gypsies - a fiery emotive performance unique to the gypsies who live in these caves around. One drink is included.

  • COSTA DEL SOL

    • + EXCURSION TO MIJAS AND DINNER This small, hill top village is one of the most charming and typical of Andalusia. Perched high up, it offers splendid views of the coastline. Its quaint, narrow streets with white-washed houses, its unusual donkey taxi service and unique square bullring are only some of its attractions - the shopper will find even more! Our evening will end with a Mediterranean dinner at a coastal restaurant.

    • + EXCURSION TO MALAGA AND WINE TASTING A trip to Malaga, known as the capital of the Costa del Sol, with its palm tree lined avenues, its lively harbour busy with cruise-liners and its long sandy beaches. We visit the Moorish castle of Gibralfaro and admire the splendid views over the city from its parapets. Then we visit the old town and enjoy a guided tour of the house in which Picasso was born. We also visit the old Jewish quarter and admire the 2,000 year old Roman Amphitheatre. We end our excursion at a local winery where we taste some of the local vintages.

    • + MARBELLA PUERTO BANUS AND DINNER IN A COUNTRY INN First a drive along the old coast road to the jet set resort of Marbella. After a walk round the old town with our local guide, on to the nearby Marina of Puerto Banus (home to bigger yachts than Monaco in the summer), enjoy some free time, before a beautiful countryside drive on our way to dinner in a local Andalusian Inn.

  • GIBRALTAR

    • + A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ROCK A tour of the Rock of Gibraltar, one of the pillars of Hercules, by private mini bus affording magnificent views of the meeting of the Atlantic and Mediterranean and the Spanish Sierra. We also visit St. Michael`s cave and see the Barbary apes.

  • SEVILLE

    • + DINNER OF ANDALUSIAN SPECIALTIES TAPAS AND THE ATMOSPHERE OF OLD SEVILLE First we dine on a selection of mouth-watering Andalusian specialties, so popular in this region of Spain.
