a tasting of ice cream paired with vanilla-infused olive oil.\u00a0 Definitely unexpected but definitely DELICIOSO!\u00a0 Before departing, we have the opportunity to purchase items from the gift shop, which features a unique and sumptuous array of handcrafted products, all highlighting olives or olive oil.\u00a0 You come away with a real appreciation for the product and the amount of work that goes into producing quality oil.\u00a0 Liquid gold indeed!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/olive-plant.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/olive-plant.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Olive Plant Spain\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, it&#8217;s back on the bus for our drive to the next destination on our itinerary &#8211; Granada.\u00a0 A relatively short drive and we make a pit stop at a local roadside station for lunch.\u00a0 Then we continue our drive through the magnificent mountainous region that is Granada until we arrive at the Alhambra Palace.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2296\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/alhambra-palance.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/alhambra-palance.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We have seen many magnificent architectural monuments on our trip thus far and this palace is once again a wonderful display of Muslim and Catholic influences uniting to create a beautiful whole.\u00a0 However, so many factors combine here to create the wonder that is the Palace that it is easy to understand why some argue that you have not seen Spain until you have seen Granada and the Alhambra Palace.\u00a0 Beyond the sheer expansiveness of the Palace and its grounds, the architecture here is once again a study in contrasts.\u00a0 The plaster on the walls, although humble, is transformed into breathtakingly ornate designs.\u00a0 At closer examination however the designs are actually very simple in that they consist of three themes being repeated over and over &#8211; geometry, vegetation and the Muslim saying &#8220;There is no victory without God&#8221;.\u00a0 The columns we see do not appear unique at first glance but we learn that they were built with a very special feature to protect the structure against the earthquakes typical of the region.\u00a0 The water systems are extensive yet they operate entirely through gravitational forces.\u00a0\u00a0 Beauty meets functionality in the most magnificent way here.\u00a0 Finally, the gardens, a true gardener&#8217;s paradise!\u00a0 Then we make the short drive to our hotel, where we settle in, enjoy a great buffet dinner and then take a leisurely stroll through the city&#8217;s shopping area before retiring for the night.<\/p>\n<p><b>DAY 6 (VALENCIA):<\/b> Today we leave Granada with a spectacular mountain view as our backdrop.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a long travel day for us but we have many interesting stops scheduled.\u00a0 The first is a very unique opportunity to witness local customs by visiting a cave-dwelling family in the town of Guadix in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This three-level cave (yes, three levels!) is an impressive piece of architecture that is home to a large family (three generations) and houses an impressive array of antiques and collections that make it a very captivating tourist attraction.\u00a0 Resourcefulness at its best!<\/p>\n<p>Our drive continues, with a couple of pit-stops, before arriving in Valencia. Valencia is known as the city of Arts and Sciences so we make a quick stop at the museum of the same name.\u00a0 The museum complex is comprised of several very modern buildings and structures that are in stark contrast to the historical monuments we have visited so far.\u00a0 The complex houses an aquarium, a science museum, an opera house, a convention hall and an impressive harp-shaped bridge.<\/p>\n<p>We then take a panoramic drive around the city before stopping in Valencia&#8217;s older area to take in some of the impressive monuments and buildings, including a majestic open-air market, Valencia&#8217;s famous bullring (used today for fashion shows and political meetings), the train station, the monastery, and the Serrano and Cuarte towers that are the few remaining remnants of the original city walls.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2301\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/valencia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/valencia.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Plaza de la Virgen, Valencia, Spain\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plaza de la Virgen, Valencia, Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We make a quick stop at Valor, a chocolate shop famous for its interesting and delectable offerings.\u00a0 It is a reputation that is well-earned, based on the delicious variety of chocolate morsels we sampled (and we sampled many!).<\/p>\n<p>Then the group separates, some exploring the city at leisure and others, our group included, attending a phenomenal optional excursion.\u00a0 Now, delicious food has been available to us in abundance on this tour, to be sure, but to have the opportunity to be taught how to prepare paella, one of Spain&#8217;s national dishes, by a well-known local chef, well that was an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2299\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/paella-1-jpg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/paella-1-jpg.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Paella Class, Valencia\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paella Class, Valencia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There were several children in our group; generally, kids enjoy getting their hands dirty so to speak and help out in the kitchen.\u00a0 Well, it&#8217;s safe to say the adults in the group enjoyed themselves just as much.\u00a0 Being involved in preparing the ingredients, making the meal and sampling the final product, all while bonding with fellow travelers, having access to a chef&#8217;s extensive knowledge and sipping delicious sangria was a recipe for a wonderful evening.\u00a0 It was one of tour&#8217;s highlights thus far, for sure. \u00a0Muy bueno!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2300\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/paella-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/paella-2.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Delicious Spanish Paella\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delicious Paella<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Read the third and final Part of Jeff and Tanya&#8217;s &#8216;Spanish Wonder&#8217; Travel Tale next week\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed reading Part 2 of Jeff and Tanya&#8217;s experience and would like to learn more about our &#8216;Spanish Wonder&#8217; itinerary, click here.
