We begin in bustling Madrid then travel through peaceful countryside to reach some of Spain’s most interesting cities; Toledo, Avila, Segovia, Cordoba, Granada and Seville. As we go, we learn about Spain’s beguiling history and stunning artistic achievements. Our accommodation is superb. As well as atmospheric four and five star hotels, we stay in romantic Paradors. Paradors are historic Spanish buildings such as castles, monasteries and palaces that have been converted into wonderful hotels often in spectacular rural locations. The Parador at Oropesa, is a 14th century castle.

Our tour
is not just about history and art. It is pleasure for the senses with
guitar music,
beautiful scenery and Spanish
cuisine. We don't rush. There is time to
explore and to sip sangria in a cafe.
Accommodation is in excellent four and five star hotels
including spectacular Paradors. All have been
selected for their comfort, convenient location and traditional
Spanish atmosphere.
The tour is escorted by a bi-lingual escort. At each city the tour is
joined by a local, English-speaking, historical guide who is an expert
in that area and who can make each site come alive with information
and stories.
