Whistle-stop Andalucía....One client from the USA only had a week to pack all that they could into their time in Andalucía. So after flying into Malaga and visiting the new Picasso Museum they collected their hire car and headed off to Granada to stay in a converted Moorish mansion in the medieval Albaicin district of the city. After a pre-booked full day at The Alhambra Palace they then discovered "down town" Granada its huge cathedral, Royal Chapel and Arabic like "souks". On to Cordoba for a night in a converted palace just 40 metres away from the great mezquita and then to Seville where they enjoyed an authentic flamenco performance and delicious local cuisine in our recommended restaurants; they even found the time for some hill walking with the help of our route notes and maps in a nearby sierra, spending their last night in the hilltop white village of Grazalema

The grand 3 week tour....A couple from California with a passion for Spain started with a few days in Madrid before taking the train to commence their Andalucía tour in Cordoba. On to Seville in a luxurious suite next to the cathedral and then to the sleepy riverside town of Sanlucar de la Barrameda for a riverboat trip up the Rio Guadalquivir; and to Jerez de la Frontera for a guided bodega tour and tasting. They then visited the Pileta caves in the mountains where on a lamp lit tour they saw the 25,000 year old cave paintings and on to Ronda for a stay in the delightful Hotel San Gabriel. Finally a visit to Granada where we discovered a local expert who gave them a personal tour centred around their great interest in the Grenadine poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca. They then nipped back up to Cordoba for the train back to Madrid to spend their last few days enjoying a bullfight, the theatre and a flamenco performance in the capital city.

Moorish Andalucía....This epic journey through history took one Australian couple to the most interesting and well preserved Moorish sites in Andalucía with a narrative history running through their personally prepared guide pack which explained everything along the way. We found authentic converted mansions and palaces for their accommodation and provided a packed itinerary which covered all the major Moorish sights plus many hidden away gems that are not on the beaten path. From Granada and the Alhambra to the Medina Azahara in Cordoba, they also explored the Andalucían "berber" villages of Las Alpujarras and took a guided 2 day excursion to Morocco to see where it all began.

Green is beautiful....A family group from the UK wanted to leave as smaller "footprint" as possible after their holiday to Andalucía so took the train from London to Granada, and then toured the whole of Andalucía using trains, boats and buses. Usually this would limit you to the major cities only, but with some careful planning it is possible to visit even the most remote mountain villages and they loved the experience of travelling with the locals, on some pretty hair raising roads! They visited the city of Cadiz by boat and coincided with the world famous "carnival" and also met up with local guides in the cities for walks around the major points of interest.
