Day 1. Barcelona – Zaragoza – Pamplona

The tour begins in Barcelona at 7:45. We will travel to Zaragoza for a short stop with free time to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar beside the Ebro. We will then continue to Pamplona. Navarre's capital, known for the San Fermin festivities, has a distinctive historic centre of narrow streets and squares. Arrival and overnight stay.

We will then travel to Oviedo for our overnight stay.

Lunch is at your own expense. We will then continue along the Autovia de la Plata to Seville. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 6. Seville · City tour

After breakfast, we will explore with a local guide the Maria Luisa Park, Plaza de Espana and Santa Cruz quarter. Their gardens, tiles, squares and narrow streets reveal different sides of Seville.

Day 7. Seville – Ronda – Costa del Sol

Day 8. Costa del Sol – Granada

After breakfast, we will travel to Granada and visit the Alhambra and Generalife, where Nasrid architecture combines with courtyards, fountains and gardens.
