Essentials of the south of Spain

Essentials of the south of Spain

This trip is perfect to visit the capital of Spain and the essentials of the south of the country, from Seville to Granada and the magnificent Alhambra without missing Cordoba and the Mosque cathedral unique in the world. Malaga & Ronda will be the perfect icing on the cake for this unforgettable trip. You'll taste the local food and wine and enjoy cultural cities and activities. Sightseeing is also an important part of the trip.

Madrid

Arrive in Madrid where Pascual, your local Chauffeur, will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to your hotel, a 4* superior hotel beside the Plaza del Sol square that makes it very convenient to reach the old quarter walking but far enough not to listen the noise of the popular square. That evening you'll have arranged a private guide walking tour through the old quarter, Madrid of Augsburg’s. Your local guide will be able to show you not only the touristy places but also those hidden corners you wouldn't discover if no one tells you about them. He'll also tell you how local people live.

Granada - Alhambra

Another private tour with your local guide expert in history. This time visiting the Alhambra. It is one of the experiences you won’t want to miss if you visit this city but be careful!!, tickets must be booked in advance, sometimes more than 3 months in advance. Don’t leave this for the very last moment or you won’t be able to visit it. The Alhambra ("The Red One") is a palace and fortress complex. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls.

Luis helped my family plan an amazing family vacation to the Basque region of Spain. Luis was incredibly patient and informative during the planning process. He was spot on with his recommendations and the trip was planned perfectly and was everything we had hoped for.

Jeri McGiverin, United States

Great time in Northern Spain, thanks to Luis and his detailed, professional, and friendly service. We were four seniors out for good food, wine, hiking, art, and "hidden" places. Luis surpassed our expectations, arranging all lodging and local transportation, including private drivers to take us to the out-of-the-way places. And all for a reasonable cost. Northern Spain is beautiful, and we were happy to have experienced its geographical and cultural diversity with Luis' guidance via all the information in his complete "personal guide book" he creates for his clients.
