We begin the day with an included orientation drive around Malaga, before we head inland through grandiose scenery to Santa Fe.

Day 3: Granada. Included guided tour of the Alhambra.
Today sees one of the highlights of your trip - our included sightseeing tour of the famous Alhambra complex with a local guide. This splendid example of Moorish architecture stands on a hilltop overlooking the city and backed by the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. The rest of the day is yours so why not join our optional city sightseeing to discover the delights of the ancient Moorish city of Granada.

Drive north-west by way of Baena and the undulating vineyards of Andalucia, for a stop in Montilla where you'll visit a typical Andalucian wine bodega. Next to Cordoba. This is perhaps Spain's most Moorish city and an optional tour takes you to its great mosque, known as one of Islam's greatest pieces of architecture outside the Arab world. You'll enjoy the small whitewashed houses with their patios opening onto the winding streets and small squares. Afternoon at leisure.

Just a few more miles brings us to the elegant city of Seville, where you will have the rest of the day to find your bearings and do a little exploring.
