  • MADRID

    • + EVENING INTRODUCTION TO MADRID A walking tour through Old Madrid, its monumental Plaza Mayor, atmospheric alleyways and emblematic squares with our local guide, including a drink and a snack in one of its famous downtown 'tapas' bars, followed by a tour of the illuminated city.

    • + 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.

    • + EXCURSION TO SEGOVIA Segovia is an impressive city, standing on a rocky outcrop 3,300 ft above sea-level between two rivers, surrounded by the beautiful Sierra de Guadarrama and colourful countryside. Designated a World Heritage Site by Unesco, Segovia is a treasure of a city. We will visit the beautiful 13th century castle, reputed to have inspired Walt Disney as the original for his interpretation of Snow White. You will marvel at the best preserved Roman aqueduct in the world, built without one single drop of mortar, it has remained intact for 2000 years.

  • SEVILLE

    • + THE GOTHIC CATHEDRAL AND PLAZA DE ESPANA We begin with a visit to the massive gothic Cathedral with its Moorish 'Giralda' tower and the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Then, a must for any visitor to Seville, we visit the famous exhibition site of Plaza de Espana

    • + 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.

    • + EXCURSION TO CARMONA Spain is the world's largest producer of Olive Oil. This is your chance to experience, feel, smell, taste and learn how to appreciate good olive oil. At a location set in the middle of beautiful countryside, surprise yourself finding the fruity taste, or tomato flavour of locally produced oil and the many other nuances you cannot even imagine. We continue to Carmona, an enchanting city on the route of Washington Irving, with its medieval mansions and appealing architecture.
