With the exception of two hotels, one in Cordova, the other in Seville, the trip was excellent. Both of those hotels were located out of town and required either a taxi or bus to get to the city center. All hotels should be carefully checked to see how far from the city center they are.

Excellent tour with the exception of two hotels, one in Cordova, the other in Seville, both of which were located too far for the center of the cities. I had to take a taxi in Cordova and a bus in Seville to reach the city center. Be careful to check where hotels are located before you book this tour.

Best time to visit Southern Spain
- Spring 2026
Spring really comes alive in Southern Spain as gardens burst into bloom. Our travelers particularly love exploring Madrid's Retiro Park and Toledo's hilltop panoramas before heading to Seville where orange blossoms fill the air in Santa Cruz quarter. Many tours time their Granada visits perfectly to see the Generalife Gardens at their finest - you'll get amazing photos of the fountains and flower displays. The walks through Cordoba's flower-decorated courtyards and patios are a highlight for many guests. Our Premium Spain tour includes spring olive mill visits near Granada where you can taste fresh oils and watch the new harvest coming in. Another great option adds countryside stops in dramatic white villages like Ronda, set high above valleys turned bright green in spring.

- Summer 2026
Summer brings extended daylight for exploring, though we plan carefully around the heat. We visit the Alhambra early morning before temperatures peak and focus afternoons on cool indoor sites like Seville's cathedral. The Madrid-Barcelona route works well in summer using comfortable air-conditioned high-speed trains. Our travelers really appreciate having hotels with pools this time of year - quite a few tours include stays near Malaga's beaches. The Costa del Sol portions offer nice breaks between cultural visits and evening programs come alive with outdoor flamenco shows and dinners in Plaza Mayor. Just keep in mind summer brings bigger crowds at major sites, so our guides time the visits strategically.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall creates perfect conditions for discovering Southern Spain's cities and rural areas. The Colors of Spain route is particularly good now, starting in ancient Merida with its Roman amphitheater then moving to Seville as crowds thin out and temperatures drop. Our tours visit Cordoba in autumn when you can comfortably explore the narrow lanes of the Jewish Quarter. Driving through Extremadura shows off spectacular fall colors and we stop at family restaurants to try seasonal dishes. Another autumn favorite combines the Alhambra with visits to Ronda and also the Costa del Sol - September and October give you ideal weather for mixing culture and beach time. The Madrid-based routes take advantage of pleasant temperatures for extended walking tours through historic areas.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter visits to Southern Spain work really well along the Classical Spain route - you'll start at Madrid's Plaza Mayor before heading south through La Mancha. The cooler weather makes exploring much more comfortable, especially in Cordoba's Mosque-Cathedral and the winding lanes of the Jewish Quarter. Another solid choice focuses on Andalucia with 5 days moving between Cordoba, Seville and Granada when tourist numbers are lower. The countryside between cities is peacefully quiet and our guides love sharing tales about the conquistadors who once lived here. Some travelers take the high-speed train to end their trip in Barcelona, mixing southern highlights with Catalan winter festivals. The mild temperatures mean you can still enjoy boat rides on Seville's Guadalquivir River and walks through Granada's historic Albaicín district.
