Introduction

It’s been more than a decade since our last visit to sunny Southern Spain and we are eager to share the classic charms of this venerable region of the Iberian Peninsula once again.

Walks and activities are anticipated in:

• the capital city of Madrid, starting point of our tour and home of the world-famous Prado Museum
• the medieval walled city of Toledo, where Christian, Muslim, and Jew combined to create a rich culture and economy before the tragic expulsion of the Jews in 1492;
• Granada, fabled center of the last Moorish dynasty, defeated by Isabelle and Ferdinand in 1492, in turn paving the way for the funding of Columbus’s history changing voyage;
• Seville, a delightful Andalusian city with a rich history and a magical medieval center; and
• Cordoba, capital of a Moorish caliphate during the Islamic Golden Age. When European capitals were still dumping raw sewage into the streets, Cordoba boasted paved streets, libraries, universities, public baths and gardens, and many other groundbreaking achievements in science and technology.

Our 2025 itinerary will be fresh itinerary will be gleaned from multiple tours between the mid-1990s and 2007, and with help from our on-site partners.
