  • Day 1

    Madrid

    Start your Spanish adventure in Madrid. Book an afternoon arrival to avoid rush hour traffic from the airport. A guided tour of Madrid's historic center will orient you nicely. Start at Plaza Mayor, then explore your way to the Royal Palace. The summer sun can be strong here, so pack water and plan indoor activities during peak afternoon heat.

    
  • Day 2

    Madrid to Seville (via Toledo)

    Head out early to Toledo, just an hour from Madrid. The medieval city rests high on a hill. Good walking shoes are essential - the cobblestone streets can be tricky. Take time to explore the Jewish Quarter before the 4-hour drive to Seville. Stop for lunch to sample local manchego cheese and jamón ibérico at a roadside taverna.

    
  • Day 3

    Seville

    Spend your morning in Seville's Santa Cruz quarter. The streets here are naturally shaded, making walking tours comfortable. Get to the Cathedral when it opens at 9:30 AM to beat the crowds. Later, visit Plaza de España around 5 PM when the lighting is best for photos.

    
  • Day 4

    Seville to Gibraltar

    Drive through Andalucia's white villages and stop in Rota for lunch. The full trip to Gibraltar takes about 3 hours. Skip the car lineups by parking on the Spanish side and walking across. Late afternoon crossings usually have shorter wait times.

    
  • Day 5

    Gibraltar & Optional Tangier

    See the Rock of Gibraltar first thing - the monkeys are most active in the morning. You can take a quick ferry to Tangier if interested (45 minutes each way). If staying in Gibraltar, take the cable car up for views spanning two continents.

    
  • Day 6

    Gibraltar to Granada

    Take the coastal road through Costa del Sol to Granada (4 hours). Stop in Malaga to eat near the Alcazaba fortress where you'll find great tapas spots. Plan to reach Granada by late afternoon to see the city bathed in light from the Sierra Nevada mountains.

    
  • Day 7

    Granada

    The Alhambra is your main attraction today. Book tickets months ahead as they sell quickly. Visit in early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and heat. The Generalife gardens look spectacular just before sunset.

    
  • Day 8

    Granada to Cordoba

    Drive 2.5 hours to Cordoba. See the Mezquita-Cathedral first - early afternoon light streams beautifully through its arches. Walk the Jewish Quarter and Roman Bridge later when it's cooler.

    
  • Day 9

    Cordoba to Madrid

    Travel north through wine country for 4 hours, with a stop in Valdepenas to see local wineries. Have lunch in Aranjuez by the Tagus River. The Royal Palace gardens here offer a peaceful alternative to Madrid's busier sites.

    
  • Day 10

    Madrid Departure

    Book flights after 11 AM to avoid morning traffic. If time allows, take a final walk through Retiro Park, just 15 minutes from central Madrid.
