Detailed Description

From the buzzing downtown traffic to the lively melodies of street buskers and the hypnotic rhythms of flamenco dancers, the energy of Spain's Andalucia is palpable. For years, this effervescent region has been deemed one of the happiest in the world for people of all ages. You will witness children as they play soccer around ornate fountains in the main squares to elderly couples who are shopping along quaint, neighborhood streets. You will bring your whole family along as you join in on the fun and create memories that will last a lifetime.

You will arrive at the Adolfo Suarez Madrid–Barajas Airport and be escorted to your luxury accommodation in the heart of Plaza del Sol. You will develop a sense of the nation's capital as you roam through the pristine Parque El Retiro and step inside the Royal Palace. Then, you will journey to the city of Cordoba where, cultures and religions from around the world intersect. You will cross the threshold of the world-renowned Mezquita for a fascinating insight into this mosque-cathedral. In Sevilla, you will do as the locals do when you sit down to sample tapas of every meat, cheese, and seasoned olive variety. Later, your heart will race during an authentic bullfight in the Plaza de Toros stadium.

After traveling to the city of Granada, which is situated at the foothills of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain range, you will journey to the esteemed last-standing Moorish palace, which is known as La Alhambra. In the evening, you will return to the city for rest and relaxation as you wade in traditional Moorish spa baths. Then, you will climb to the gypsy neighborhood of Albaicin for an energetic flamenco show. You will culminate your trip along the pristine, coastal cities of Gibraltar and Malaga, where you will witness monkeys up close at Apes Den and sit back at the water's edge along some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
