Detailed Description

Spend nine magical nights under the spell of Andalusia. In the timeless land of the ancient Moors, escape to a place of romance and enchantment. Ancient castles, shady olive groves and sunny whitewashed villages beckon you. Seductive Flamenco, tiled patios and magnificent cathedrals exemplify the region’s splendor.

You’ll visit the ageless monuments to the Moors’ splendid culture, including the magnificent mosque in Córdoba and in Granada, the unearthly Alhambra Palace in Granada. Seville has a special charm all its own, and you’ll be swept away by the beauty of her awe-inspiring cathedral and lovely Alcázar palace.

The tour includes luxurious 4-star accommodations in historic locations: a monastery, an elegant palace, a charming 16th-century house. You may take this tour in April during Spain’s Semana Santa (Holy Week), when Andalusia is at its most colorful. May is the traditional Fiesta de los Patios in Córdoba, when all the houses in Córdoba's old town burst into bloom and compete for “the most beautiful patio” award!

After exploring Andalusia’s cities, you’ll get out into off-the-beaten-track destinations in the countryside of Las Sierras Subbéticas Mountain Range. Enjoy bicycle expeditions to Andalusia’s pristine rural locations, only well-known to Spaniards. The cluster of picturesque mountain villages called "Los Pueblos Blancos," (whitewashed villages) welcome you with wonderful views of the landscape and authentic local culture.

Portugal, Spain Tour Review: Porto, Cangas de Onis, Sidecar Tour, History, 10 Days

The planning experience was wonderful overall. From the initial conversation about what my family was looking for to the final touches to the itinerary, Zicasso's travel expert was engaging, responsive, and helpful.

The accommodations he selected for us exceeded expectations; they were spacious, beautiful, and well-located. The tours/activities suggested were really fun and gave us a sense of the locale in a unique and memorable way that fit our family well. Once we were in-country, communications were easy and helpful. We felt very well cared for.

Payment to our travel company was easy and it was a real pleasure once we were in-country to have all the identified items already paid for. I would definitely book a trip with them again.

Spain Vacation Review: History, Architecture, Hiking, E-Biking, Barcelona, Caminito del Rey, Marbella, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel specialists did a great job for us. They clearly listened to us and curated an experience that was made specifically for us. It checked all of the boxes and more.

Highlights were the local tour guides in each city. It was great to meet and get to know local people, learn so much history, see the architecture (Gaudí in Barcelona and the awesome palaces and cathedrals that we visited), the Montserrat hike, Caminito del Rey (which was absolutely better with a guide), and the Marbella e-bike adventure.

The hotels were wonderful; all unique and all great choices. We came home happy and tired, which is the sign of a good trip for us (since we do not ever sit on beaches or at pools and relax!).
