Best of Andalucia in 10 Days
Ten unhurried days from Córdoba to Seville that go deep as well as wide — Montilla wine country, Úbeda's Renaissance streets and a working bull farm sit alongside the Mezquita, the Alhambra and Seville's Alcázar. It's a fuller, more immersive way to get under the skin of the region.
About this tour
The longest trip in the collection, this ten-day tour trades a whistle-stop pace for time to absorb Andalucía properly. Starting in Córdoba with the Mezquita, it moves through the Montilla wine country for a tasting, the Renaissance town of Úbeda, and Granada for the Alhambra (subject to ticket availability), then on to Antequera's Menga Dolmen, Ronda, a visit to a bull farm, a flamenco evening, and finally Seville's Alcázar and Cathedral. Travel is by group coach with a good deal of walking, guided throughout and offered in Spanish, English and French. The route runs one-way from Córdoba to Seville. It's aimed at active travellers and children from age 8 (no infants), with prices from €3,600. The tour page has the full daily itinerary and departure calendar.
