USER RATING
From the Puerta del Sol to the Costa del Sol, this tour shines. In Madrid, begin in the ‘heart’ of Spain—kilómetro cero—and radiate outward. Stroll through the Plaza Mayor and browse the traditional shops and cafes located under its copious porticoes. At the Prado, witness the blazing originality of El Greco’s View of Toledo, then compare this masterpiece to your own visions of the city. Feel the wind from the whirling revolutions of flamenco. Eat among friends and sample a favorite Madrilleno past time at a tapas dinner. Then, it’s off to the sun-soaked playas of the Costa del Sol. Lounge on a beach chair and memorize the moving shadows as they play against a honeycomb of white-walled houses. Or, take day trips to feed the macaques on Gibraltar, and experience the sights and smells of a North African bazaar on the streets of Marrakesh. Rest assured, no matter what you decide, you’ll come back from this tour beaming.
