Day One: Arrive in Malaga

After landing at Malaga Airport, we transfer to our adults-only hotel in Benalmadena/Costa del Sol to spend the rest of our first day exploring our surroundings. You can either venture out into the streets to start discovering the many delights it has to offer at your own pace or simply relax at the hotel while making the most of the available amenities. When evening comes, we gather to enjoy a welcome drink and snack before enjoying dinner together at the hotel.

Day Two: Benalmadena, Costa del Sol - Ronda - Seville

Day Two: Benalmadena, Costa del Sol - Ronda - Seville

After breakfast at our hotel, we depart towards Ronda. On arrival, we admire the well-preserved ruins of five defensive walls testifying to Ronda’s turbulent past. Today, this history casts an enchanting spell over Ronda, retaining a beguiling timelessness in the maze of whitewashed cobbled alleys leading to the famous New Bridge over the El Tajo Gorge and of the emblematic balconies of the hanging houses. We visit most important parts of the city - from the houses on Calle Tenorio, the House of St. John Bosco and the María Auxiliadora Square.
We also enjoy breathtaking views of the town from the El Campillo viewpoint. We also experience the Plaza de la Duquesa de Parcent - a square famous for its four different churches: Santa María de la Encarnación, Santa Isabel de los Ángeles, La Caridad and María Auxiliadora. Plus, no visit to Ronda would be complete without seeing the bullring. Not only is this one of the oldest in Spain, but it is also considered to be the birthplace of traditional bullfighting. Afterwards we continue on to Seville, where we enjoy a panoramic tour of Seville (45min). We explore the city by bus, passing through the 'Torre del Oro', 'La Maestranza', Guadalquivir River, Triana Square and more. We make a stop to Plaza de España, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Seville, known by its beauty and complexity of its architecture. We check-in to our hotel in Seville and spend the night.
  • Breakfast Included
Day Three: Seville Cathedral & Real Alcázar

Day Three: Seville Cathedral & Real Alcázar

We wake up to breakfast at the hotel before stepping out into the streets of Seville, capital of Andalusia and one of Spain’s most renowned cities for its authentic Spanish atmosphere and impressive architecture. Our first stop will be the Santa María de la Sede Cathedral, built on the site of the old mosque of Seville. As soon as we arrive, its dimensions will leave you speechless, with the largest Gothic temple in the world. We'll walk through and review its fascinating history, in particular paying special attention to the main altarpiece and the Christopher Columbus tomb. 

Our next stop will be the Real Alcázar of Seville - the oldest royal palace in use in Europe. This spectacular palace complex was built in different historical periods, so inside you'll witness the perfect combination of Mudejar style and Gothic architecture. We will also reveal the series and films that have been shot in the Alcázar, including Game of Thrones. At the end of the tour, you will meet the driver to go back to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to continue discovering all the things that make Seville special at your own leisure.
  • Breakfast Included
Day Four: Córdoba's Mosque and Juderia

Day Four: Córdoba's Mosque and Juderia

After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our next destination - Cordoba. This romantic location is known for having been a shining example of coexistence during medieval times, when it was home to Christians, Muslims and Jews who all lived side by side in peace. Cordoba was also the capital of the Moorish caliphate of Al-Andalus during the height of its powers and glory, and nowhere is this wealth more evident than in the magnificent Mezquita (‘Great Mosque’), which is now a Catholic cathedral. We explore this unique monument,  declared a World Heritage Site, which houses exceptional Islamic and Christian art – a gem not to be missed!

After visiting the monument, we continue our visit walking around the Jewish Quarter. Located in the historic center, which is part of the area named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. The Jewish Quarter retains the traditional urban layout of a medieval Islamic city, with two central intersecting streets surrounded by a labyrinth of smaller streets which often end in dead ends or narrow alleys. At the end of the visit, we have some free time to explore the city on our own, before meeting our driver to continue our way to Granada. Afterwards, continue to Granada, where we will check-in and spend the night.
  • Breakfast Included
Day Five: Granada Alhambra complex

Day Five: Granada Alhambra complex

After breakfast at the hotel, we can begin exploring the Alhambra Complex in Granada. The Alhambra is one of the most visited monuments in Spain, and for good reason. The stunning walled palace complex dates back largely to the 13th and 14th centuries, and is home to some of Europe's most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture. We admire the intricately carved stonework and complex geometric designs of the numerous courtyards, labyrinthine hallways and elegant gardens. We'll visit the main buildings and monuments of the Alhambra, including the Medina, the Alcazaba, the Generalife Gardens and the Palacios Nazaries: Mexuar, the Comares Palace and the iconic Court of the Lions.

Our afternoon offers boundless opportunities for exploration in Granada, the illustrious former capital of Spain's last Muslim state. Even today, Granada retains enchanting echoes of its Moorish heritage, where every corner reveals a piece of history. Wander through the labyrinthine streets of the Albaicin Quarter, each cobblestone pathway a nostalgic homage to the days of the emirate, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the city's rich cultural tapestry.

Put your feet up at our hotel, relax on the sandy beaches of Benalmádena Costa or, if you’re feeling adventurous, explore the picturesque village of Benalmádena Pueblo, with its whitewashed houses and panoramic views.

Passport & Visa Entry

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Health Requirements

We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.

Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover guides, transfer drivers, and hotel staff of minimum EUR 35.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
