The most popular Spanish cuisine is tapas—small sample-sized dishes that deliver a variety of exotic tastes. This popular tour of Spain is the travel equivalent—a chance to experience the flavors of the country by exploring Spain’s most charming cities—with a short stay in Lisbon, Portugal as the appetizer. A tour of vibrant Lisbon highlights the Tower of Belem and Jeronimo’s Monastery but the best part of your day may be the cuisine, wine and Fado music you’ll enjoy at a local restaurant this evening. Portugal’s “Silver Coast” is your next destination with the famed pilgrimage site of Fatima, before you journey into Spain. In the heart of Espana you’ll see the sites of Madrid including a guided tour of the Prado Museum and a side-trip to the medieval capital (and UNESCO site) of Toledo. Next you’ll visit the Moorish city of Cordoba and tour the Mezquita, a glorious 8th-century mosque. From there you’re off to Sevilla for a comprehensive tour and end your evening with an authentic flamenco dance show. In Granada you’ll visit the famous Alhambra—an immense hilltop palace—and the Generalife, an ornately laid out garden with waterfalls, courtyards and secret gardens. Travel through amazing landscapes to reach the Mediterranean coast and Valencia—Roman and Arabic architecture, citrus groves and the old Silk Exchange building. Your holiday ends in lively Barcelona with a highlights tour featuring Las Ramblas and works by Gaudi. A bit of this, a taste of that— it’s the perfect combination!
