Example 10 night Itinerary
starting in Madrid
Staying in:-
Madrid - Merida - Seville - Granada - Cordoba. The tour assumes 2 nights in each location giving a compromise between travel, rest and play. Alternative start points are possible.
Madrid, gives art lovers a glut of opportunities to soak up their fill of
classic art in the Prado, and the whole range of tastes are catered for in the eclectic Thysen. For those with more physical tastes the bars, restaurants
and city life in general will sustain. After an initial stay of 2 nights in Madrid the morning train will take you on to Merida. Merida preserves to this day some fine examples of Roman
colonial architecture and in summer, theatrical productions can be enjoyed
al-fresco in the amphitheatre. From here on to Seville with its spacious plazas and river-side promenades. Granada, the European city most recently ruled by a Muslim culture sits viewing the snow-capped Sierra Nevada and then Cordoba, the last port of call, where Moorish rulers developed a city and caliphate that were, in
the 12th. C, preeminent centres of learning and science.
Alternatives possible are to include a stay in the white villages of the Sierra Nevada a
Time-tabling of trains combined with differing start-dates
may make it necessary to vary the standard itinerary.
