Best of Andalusia

(8 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Seville & Cordoba, Granada, Marbella & Ronda

This private luxury tour combines Andalusia's most atmospheric places—charming whitewashed villages, beautiful Seville, fascinating Cordoba and the magnificent Alhambra—with time at a top beach resort. It features private touring and the region's most luxurious hotels.

Begin in Seville, the capital of Andalusia. Enjoy an insider's tour of this beautiful city flavored as much by the sounds of flamenco and the smell of orange blossoms as by its 500-year domination by the Moors. Visit the world's largest Gothic cathedral (which contains the tomb of Christopher Columbus), explore the charming Santa Cruz neighborhood, and tour the gardens, spectacular Mudejar-style architecture, carved stuccowork and tile-covered rooms of the Real Alcazar, a Moorish palace. See additional architectural highlights such as the Plaza de España, the modern Metropol Parasol, and other historic palaces filled with azulejo tiles and decorative arts. Also, browse specialty boutiques and markets. One evening, enjoy a private tasting tour of some of Seville's most beloved tapas bars and attend a flamenco performance. One day, enjoy a private excursion to Jerez de la Frontera. Learn about Andalusian horses and enjoy a uniquely choreographed horse show at an equestrian school, then visit a local sherry bodega for a tasting. If desired, additional activities can be arranged in Seville, including visits to ceramics workshops in the Triana neighborhood, carriage rides through Maria Luisa Park, private flamenco dance or guitar lessons, architecture tours of World Expo buildings, learning about Semana Santa (Holy Week) culture at the Basilica of La Macarena and excursions to nearby Roman ruins, pueblos blancos (whitewashed villages) or a bull ranch.

Next, take the high-speed train to Cordoba, a capital under the Romans and the Moors. During private touring, explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic center to see highlights such as the incredible Cathedral-Mosque, the ancient Roman bridge, and the narrow backstreets and whitewashed buildings of the former Jewish Quarter. Continue to Granada, one of the richest and most populous cities during Moorish rule. With your expert private guide, tour the Alhambra, a breathtaking Moorish castle, palace and garden complex on a hillside overlooking the city. Also visit the Generalife, the summer palace and gardens of Moorish royalty. See additional city highlights such as the opulent Royal Chapel, where monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella are buried, and the labyrinthine Albaicin (the former Arab Quarter), a world of winding streets, Moorish fountains and teterias (Arabic tearooms) in the hills. For dinner, Artisans of Leisure can make reservations at a restaurant with views of the Alhambra.

End your tour at an upscale waterfront resort in Marbella, a fashionable beach town on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol. One day, enjoy a private excursion to Ronda, a renowned whitewashed village built on the edges of a dramatic gorge, or Malaga, a historic port city with a Roman theater, a ruined Alcazaba and a museum dedicated to local hero, Pablo Picasso. Enjoy another day at leisure at the resort, or opt to book additional private touring, such as a visit to the Cueva de la Pileta to see ancient rock art, a private yacht charter, guided hiking or biking in beautiful national parks or a private cooking class.
