Tour · 7 nights · with Travelsphere
A gentle paced, escorted tour with Travelsphere through Andalucia’s historic cities and countryside, centred on Antequera with free days for your own discoveries.
Highlights
Dazzling Great Mosque (Mezquita) in Cordoba
Seville’s Plaza de España and Gothic cathedral
Alhambra palace and Generalife Gardens in Granada
El Torcal National Park’s unusual limestone formations
Ronda’s deep gorge and Puente Nuevo stone bridge
This week-long escorted tour from Travelsphere is a calm and unhurried way to take in Andalucia’s highlights from a base near Antequera. After a flight into Malaga, you’ll settle into a hotel close to this small town that’s handy for exploring the local countryside and nearby cities.
Early sightseeing includes Cordoba’s Great Mosque with its forest of columns, and Seville’s Plaza de España and Gothic cathedral, with a pit stop for tapas. There is time at leisure to rest or take optional trips, including visits to El Torcal National Park and Ronda’s dramatic gorge, spanned by the Puente Nuevo. The grand Alhambra palace and its gardens in Granada are another highlight, paired with free time to wander.
The itinerary allows several days to linger in Antequera or take your time exploring Malaga, Picasso’s birthplace, and two Moorish fortresses overlooking its bay. The pace leaves room for those who prefer not to feel hurried, combining guided tours with days open for your own pace and choice of activities.
