The capital of Andalusia, its streets and plazas are charged with history and
culture, causing you to lose all sense of time. Stroll up and down following the
shadow of the city’s famous writer García Lorca, let yourself be carried away by
the sound of music and the scent of flowers. Get lost in the Albaicín, the Moorish
quarter and authentic architectural jewel of picturesque corners and fascinating
cultural diversity. In the evening you will be taken to visit the world of
flamenco in the caves of Sacromonte.

in the city centre.

Itinerary: Day 2
A bus will take you to the Alhambra for a guided tour. The magical kingdom of the
Alhambra is a must-see when in Granada. The patios and gardens of one of the most
beautiful complexes to be built by man, transport the visitor to a setting straight
form The Thousand and One Nights. Alongside the palaces you’ll find the
Generalife, an enclosure of intimate gardens which exude a sense of calm and
which fill the air with the scent of abundant flowers. Sit down, relax, and
observe the many varied tonalities caused by the reflections on the water.
Your next destination is the city of Córdoba. The historic part of the city still
preserves traces of the splendid Caliphate of Córdoba. To walk amongst the narrow
old streets, attractive plazas and whitewashed patios is to take a step closer to
these historic times. Visit the magnificent Mosque and the surrounding Jewish
quarter full of flowers! Get some tapas in the many squares of the city and
immerse yourself in the lively nightlife.
HOTEL: Small and charming, and located right in the heart of the city, its
colourful, cheerful style makes you feel at home from the very first instant.

Itinerary: Day 3
There is still much to discover in Córdoba: the bull fighting museum, the
fascinating Alcázar featuring gardens, fountains and patios…
Embark on the last part of your journey towards one of the most important
archaeological sites in Spain, Medina Azahara, a palatial city built in the 10th
century using the most extravagant materials: marble, ebony, ivory and precious
stones... The remains of squares, paintings and columns have been preserved as
testimony to the splendour of the past. The two recently restored salons permit
us to imagine what life would have been like in these golden times.
The visit to this site of great historic and artistic value, declared a National
Monument, is where the route comes to an end. Has it left you yearning for more?
Don’t worry, it’s best to leave some things out so there will always be a reason
to return.
