  • Days 1-2

    Madrid

    Get to Plaza Mayor before 9 AM to beat the tourist crowds. Plan to visit La Latina after 8 PM when the tapas bars fill up with locals. Head to Retiro Park mid-morning when it's peaceful and quiet. Planning to see the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium? Visit after 2 PM when most tour groups have left. Remember to pack good walking shoes. The historic center has lots of cobblestones and unexpected hills.

    
  • Day 3

    Madrid to Granada (4.5-hour drive)

    You'll drive through La Mancha where you can spot Don Quixote's windmills along the way. The Alhambra sits on a sunny hillside with little shade, so bring water and sunscreen. Book your Alhambra tickets several months ahead. The Generalife Gardens are beautiful in late afternoon light and you'll find fewer people around then.

    
  • Day 4

    Granada to Rabat via Ferry

    This travel day takes you from Europe to Africa. The ferry ride is about 1.5 hours. Keep your passport accessible and spend some time on deck to see Gibraltar.

  • Day 5

    Rabat to Marrakech via Casablanca

    Visit Rabat's Royal Palace early to see morning light on the marble courtyard. The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is stunning around mid-morning when sun shines through the glass floor.

  • Day 6

    Marrakech

    Walk through the medina in the morning before it gets hot and busy. Bring cash for shopping in the souks. Get to Bahia Palace before 10 AM to avoid crowds.

  • Day 1

    Costa del Sol, Spain

    Arrive in Costa del Sol and get settled at your hotel. Take this day to rest and prepare for your Moroccan adventure. Pack light layers since Morocco's weather changes significantly between day and night.

    
  • Day 2

    Costa del Sol to Fez

    Leave early along Costa del Sol to Algeciras or Tarifa for the ferry to Tangier (about 1 hour). The crossing can be rough so consider motion sickness pills. After Moroccan customs you'll have a long but scenic drive to Fez with a quick stop in Meknes. Get your camera ready for your first look at Morocco's ancient city walls.

    
  • Day 3

    Fez

    Start early to see Fez's UNESCO-listed medina before crowds and heat arrive. The old city has over 9,000 narrow alleys so stay close to your guide. You'll visit the Royal Palace's 7 gates, the Jewish Quarter and Bab Bou Jeloud (Blue Gate). Wear sturdy closed shoes since medieval streets are uneven and sometimes slippery.

    
  • Day 4

    Fez to Marrakech via Rabat and Casablanca

    A full travel day with lots of sightseeing. Visit the Mohamed V Mausoleum and Hassan Tower in Rabat. In Casablanca you'll see the impressive Hassan II Mosque from outside (no time for interior visits). You'll reach Marrakech by evening. The optional dinner show at Chez Ali offers great Moroccan entertainment if you're interested.

    
  • Day 5

    Marrakech to Casablanca

    Start your Marrakech tour at the serene Menara Gardens. Visit the Koutoubia Minaret and Bahia Palace before exploring the famous Jemaa el-Fna square and souks. One visitor suggests: "Be prepared for lots of walking and persistent vendors in the medina - a firm but polite 'no thank you' works best." Head back to Casablanca for the night.

    
  • Day 6

    Return Journey to Costa del Sol

    Leave early for Tangier to catch the ferry to Spain. Border crossing takes time so bring something to read and stay patient. After returning to Spain enjoy the coastal drive to Costa del Sol. Use your last evening to try some local Spanish food.

    
  • Day 7

    Departure

    Leave your Costa del Sol hotel in the morning. Book afternoon flights if possible to avoid morning traffic to the airport.

  • Days 1-2

    Madrid

    Begin your Spanish adventure in the bustling capital. Head to La Latina neighborhood around 8:30 PM for dinner when locals fill the streets.

Start day two with Madrid's main attractions before the crowds arrive. Visit Retiro Park in the morning while it's cool. The Crystal Palace looks best before 11 AM. Plan your Santiago Bernabéu Stadium tour after 2 PM when practice usually ends. You might spot players leaving the grounds.

    
  • Day 3

    Madrid to Granada

    The 4.5-hour southern drive through La Mancha shows off Spain's countryside. Take a break in Puerto Lápice, a traditional Manchego village.

  • Day 5

    Seville

    Take a full day to explore Seville. Join the morning city tour to get oriented, then take an afternoon boat trip on the Guadalquivir.

  • Day 6

    Córdoba to Madrid

    Get to Córdoba's Mosque-Cathedral early before lines form at 9 AM. Walk the Jewish Quarter in early afternoon when sunlight brightens the white walls. Stop at Consuegra's windmills on your way back to Madrid. They look best in the late-day light.
