Itinerary in detail
Every trip is shaped around you. Below is a sample route to start from; we change any part of it to suit you.
Days 1-4
Three nights in Barcelona
In Spain’s northwestern corner sits the proudly independent comunidad autónoma of Catalonia, with the charismatic city of Barcelona as its capital. One of Europe’s greatest cities, Barcelona has Roman temples and winding gothic streets, with Gaudi’s uniquely playful modernism cut with stark millennial flashes of glass and steel. There is a tangibly buzzing culture in the streets and squares, an inspiration for some of the 20th century’s greatest artists and writers, that makes exploring tucked away bars, cafes, restaurants, museums and galleries endlessly captivating.
Barcelona by sidecar
Barcelona is a city that comes alive at night. Whizz through the streets in a sidecar, taking in sights such as the Columbus Monument, Barceloneta Beach, El Born, Sagrada Familia, Montjuic Hill and much more.
A Gaudi discovery
Barcelona is known for its beautiful and often eccentric architecture. Gaudi contributed much to the cityscape and you can appreciate his artistic vision as you explore the Güell Park, located on Carmel Hill. La Sagrada Familia, although not finished, is considered his masterpiece and is a real feat of engineering incorporating stone, brick, tiles and glass. Enjoy wandering along the cobbled streets of the Gothic quarter and visit El Born which feels like a small village nestled within the city.
Traditional chocolate-making class
Chocolate was first introduced to Spain from the New World in the sixteenth century and its popularity across Europe quickly spread. Visit a speciality shop to learn about and buy the ingredients needed, then walk through medieval narrow streets to a cooking school to make different types of hot chocolate along with melindros, a famous pastry dipped into the delicious drink.
Days 5-7
Three nights in Seville
The jewel in the Moorish Caliphate of Cordoba and the capital of the most powerful Castilian Kingdom, Seville has been left with eye-popping architecture and majestic grace. Spend a few days here to experience the true essence of Spanish grandeur.

A bicycle exploration of Seville
Meet an expert resident guide and take to two wheels, exploring the beautiful city of Seville at a leisurely pace. Cycle along its pretty streets and over the bridge, passing by the Golden Tower and through parks while your host brings the city to life with fascinating stories and intriguing anecdotes.
Flamenco show
Flamenco is the traditional song and dance of the gypsies of Andalusia and was developed over hundreds of years before becoming popular in the 19th century as a form of café entertainment. There are three parts to every flamenco show: ‘grande’ or ‘hondo’ with intense, profound songs; ‘intermedio’; and finally ‘pequeño’, lighthearted songs about love and nature.
A hands-on Andalusian cooking class
Take part in a hands-on class where you will cook and taste some of the most famous dishes of Andalusian cuisine. Enjoy the traditional salmorejo, beetroot and avocado cream and Spanish omelette or fried aubergine with honey. You can also learn how to prepare Paella.
Day 8
A night in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada
Granada sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Iberian Peninsula’s highest massif. Seville’s brooding Andalusian sister is renowned as the last stronghold of the Moors who were driven out of Western Europe in the 15th century, and it’s here that you’ll best discover Andalusia’s splendid Arabic architectural heritage including the beautiful Alhambra Palace.

The lavish Alhambra is Granada’s most visited site. Once a palace and fortress for the city’s Muslim rulers, the Alhambra means ‘red fort’ and is named after the red clay used in its construction in the mid-13th century.
Days 9-11
Three luxurious nights on Marbella
The city of Marbella lies within Malaga and the Costa del Sol, surrounded by the Sierra Blanca Mountains, sandy Mediterranean beaches and luxury resorts. While seen by most as the gateway to the westward beaches, this laid back place also offers some genuinely interesting historical attractions, such as the Roman Theatre and Moorish Alcazaba castle, and its coastal setting is striking.
