Spain is more than you think, and there’s lots to explore. From delicious food in Madrid to Granada’s grand Alhambra, Cordoba's Mezquita, and Ronda's dramatic gorge.

Great tour and flexible
A Taste of Spain: : 11 Days Across Madrid, Seville, Granada & BarcelonaWe didn’t know quite what to expect with the tour format, but quickly found we had all the information and assistance we needed, and we always got responses to questions or concerns quickly. The hotels were top notch and in great locations. We enjoyed the small tours and all the free time to explore on our own.
Flavors of Spain: A 11 Day Journey Through Madrid, Seville, Granada & BarcelonaThe itinerary was excellent and the hotels were all well chosen - perfectly sited and to the standard we expected. There were no issues with the cars and they were as ordered and ready for us on arrival and the pickup was smooth. The only reason that they didn't get 5 stars was for the organisation - They would have got 4.5 if half stars were permitted. Our party was complex - 6 adults as 2 couples and 2 singles in 4 rooms and requiring two cars. We modified the tour starting at a different point and staying at only 4 locations for a total of 7 nights, rather than 7 one night stays. In all our correspondence they were polite, helpful and friendly and responded within 24 hours. They made all the changes that we requested using the messaging service. The issue was that when the documents first came through they didn't reflect all the changes we had made in our discussions. After a couple of iterations these were then correct. When we checked in to the first and second hotels they had paired us all up incorrectly so all the assigned rooms had to be changed. This took considerable time and was frustrating for the hotel staff as well as us. This was one of the corrections that was made at least 2-3 weeks before departure and it appeared that hotels had not received the correct information. We messaged the operator through the app to check with the remaining two hotels and they confirmed they had done this and these check-ins were much smoother. Overall it was a superb holiday, reasonably priced and I would use tourradar again and have recommended them to family friends.

Best time to visit Southern Spain
- 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.

- Spring 2027
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 2027
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.
