Tour highlights
Experience the very best of Spain with a journey that begins among the modernist masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí, including the breathtaking Sagrada Familia, and continues to the artistic heart of Madrid at the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace. The adventure moves south to Seville, where you will stand before one of the world's largest Gothic cathedrals and the monumental Plaza de España. The pinnacle of the trip includes full-day expeditions to Granada for skip-the-line access to the legendary Alhambra Palace and Nasrid Palaces, and to Cordoba to witness the stunning architectural forest of the Mezquita-Catedral.
