Icons of Spain - From Barcelona to Andalusia

Experience the very best of Spain on this 10-day journey from Barcelona’s modernist masterpieces to the soulful rhythm of Andalusia. Begin in Catalonia’s vibrant capital, exploring Gaudí’s imaginative architecture and the seaside charm of the Mediterranean. Continue to Madrid, where royal splendor and world-class art await, paired with a day trip to the medieval gem of Toledo.

Then head south to Seville, where flamenco, Moorish palaces, and golden plazas reveal the essence of Andalusian life. From here, travel through Córdoba’s Islamic heritage, the dramatic cliffs of Ronda, and onward to the sun-kissed coast of Málaga and Marbella.
