Highlights of Your Journey
Start in Madrid’s royal and lively core, exploring the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, the Prado, and enjoying tapas before a thrilling night at Santiago Bernabéu.
Experience Seville’s Moorish and Andalusian spirit, visiting the Alcázar, Cathedral, Plaza de España, and ending with passionate flamenco and Córdoba’s historic Mezquita.
Discover Granada’s Alhambra and charming Albaicín, with stunning palaces and local tapas in atmospheric streets.
Relax in Málaga’s sunny coast and artistic roots, enjoying fresh seafood and Picasso’s hometown museums.
Finish with a perfect blend of Spain’s culture, history, and cuisine, from Madrid to Andalucía’s soulful rhythms and Mediterranean shores.
Days 1 - 3
Between the Royal Palace's Bourbon grandeur and the Bernabéu's atmospheric stands lies the essence of Madrid - mornings spent admiring Goya's brushstrokes and evenings hopping from vermouth bars to century-old tabernas.
Begin on your first day, with the regal splendour of Madrid's Royal Palace, where centuries of Spanish history bellow through the gilded halls, before emerging into the lively heart of Madrid - Plaza Mayor. Days 2 and 3 unfold in a perfect tempo for the city - marvel at Velázquez's masterpieces in the Prado, row across Retiro Park's lake under the watch of marble statues, and find yourself drawn to tapas bar after tapas bar - where jamón ibérico and patatas bravas reign supreme. On your final day in the city, soak up Gran Vía's illustrious shopping stretch before spending an evening in Santiago Bernabéu, a once in a lifetime experience for any sporting fan and a fitting tribute to Madrid's spirited personality.
Days 4 - 7
From the Islamic artistry of the Alcázar to the intensity of Flamenco, your next step weaves through Seville's layered history before crossing into Córdoba's timeless beauty.
In Seville, you're invited to encounter an entirely new facade of Spain; from the Moorish architecture of the Alcázar to the Gothic vaults of Seville Cathedral, this city is notably different from Madrid. The following days unfold in a dance of Andalusian culture - a moment spent gazing at Plaza de España's ceramic-clad grandeur, an afternoon getting lost in Santa Cruz's winding alleys, an evening admiring the passion of flamenco at an intimate tablao. After spending time in the nieghbourhood of Triana, move northwards towards Córdoba, where the Mezquitas stand tall next to Roman Bridges that have seen centuries of history, and the Alcázar's gardens whisper tales of Ferdinand and Isabella - a magnificent finale to Andalusia's rich tapestry.
Days 8 - 12
Your journey briefly takes a turn for the slower-paced life of Granada’s cobbled hills, Moorish palaces and free-flowing tapas, before Málaga’s sun-bleached ruins and Picasso-blue seas offer a final sigh of coastal ease.
The Alhambra offers you a first glimpse of geometric stuccoes and intricate archways, the Patio de los Leones sitting primely in the historic centre of this citadel; a complex blend of palaces, gardens and forts. An itinerary could spend days here, but by noon, you’re adrift in the neighbourhood of Albaicín. Order a tinto de verano, and expect your table to overflow with local pan con tomate and smoky grilled octopus. The seafood is incomparable to that of Malaga, with its bright salt spray and fried anchovies at Baños del Carmen. Here, your final days are spent exploring Picasso’s his hometown and the subsequent Blue Period of his work. Underfoot, Roman mosaics offer a deeper sense of history, one that is matched by the verdant greens of the Jardín Botánico-Histórico La Concepción, the perfect place to sit in the shade and enjoy a moments piece before your return journey.

Days 5 - 6
Toning the pace of your itinerary down, your final days offer a slower rythym and an excerpt to the city's lively personality. Seaside villages, sparkling wine - and a final day to explore at your leisure is always needed in a city which has so much to offer.
Venture west to Getaria, a seaside village known for its picturesque views, historical significance and delightful food. Visit a local bodega to sip the region’s signature wine - Txakolí - a dry sprakling white wine that is crisp and perfectly paired with the region's local provenance. Back in San Sebastián, your final day is unhurried: another morning spent at ease on Zurriola’s sands, watching surfers carve the waves, and enjoying the sunshine before your final dinner reservation that evening. Whether dining in one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants, or picking a local spot to return to from your pintxos crawl, the evening is yours to choose.
Days 2 - 4
Across hikes, harbours, surf, and stand-out dishes, your second taste of the Basque Country blends San Sebastián’s natural beauty with its cultural roots - always ending with a toast and something delicious.
On your second day, start your morning with a hike up Monte Urgull, one of the three defining hills of the city's landscape, and one that will provide breath-taking views of the Old Town. After descending to the foot of the hill, you'll find yourself faced with the San Telmo Museum, tucked inside a 16th-century convent, where your private art historian guide will introduce you to the different styles and eras of art on show. Later on, catch an easy meal at a seaside restaurant serving fresh seafood with piercing views of the sea stretching into the horizon.
Zurriola Beach on the third day invites a more adventurous spirit - paddleboarding or surfing at your leisure and enjoying a moment without an itinerary to follow. That evening, Conte invites you to enjoy some cocktails in the trendy Gros district, a hotspot for surfers and students filled with a laid-back energy that charms without fail. Back in the city’s heart, La Bretxa Market greets you with colour and aroma - having been open since 1870, this market is more of an icon within the city. Fresh produce, jamón, seafood on ice - pick your speciality as you tie on an apron for a hands-on private Basque cooking class, before celebrating with a bottle of something special and the very meal you've spent the afternoon crafting.
