10 Day Southern Spain Itinerary, incl. Seville and Granada
Stunning 10-day Andalucian tour through 6 cities showcases UNESCO sites like Córdoba's Mezquita and Seville's Alcázar. Walk along Caminito del Rey's cliffside paths and through Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park to Benaoján.
- Days 1-2
Seville
Begin your trip in Seville's historic center. Try to arrive by mid-afternoon to get settled before the evening welcome meeting. Take an early morning walking tour the next day before the heat sets in. Summer temperatures often reach 95°F (35°C) by noon. Visit the Alcázar right when it opens at 8:30 AM to avoid crowds and get the best morning light for photos of its detailed Mudéjar architecture.
- Days 3-4
Córdoba & Baeza
Drive 1.5 hours to Córdoba to see the Mezquita-Cathedral. A good tip is to visit between 2-4 PM when most tour groups stop for lunch. From there, it's a 2-hour drive to peaceful Baeza for two nights. Use the next day to explore nearby Úbeda and visit local olive mills. Schedule olive tastings in the morning when your taste buds are most alert. This area makes some of Spain's best olive oil.
- Days 5-6
Granada
After a 1.5-hour drive from Baeza, spend your first evening walking through the old Albaicín neighborhood. Book the earliest possible slot (8:30 AM) for your Alhambra visit to avoid crowds. You will need to book Alhambra tickets about 90 days in advance since they sell out quickly. Bring comfortable walking shoes. The palace grounds have lots of steps and uneven cobblestones.
- Day 7
Caminito del Rey
You need to book this clifftop walkway ahead of time. The hike takes about 3 hours. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip and bring a light jacket since the walkways can get windy even in summer. Afterward, drive an hour to Ronda.
- Days 8-9
Ronda & Sierra de Grazalema
Plan a full day of hiking in Sierra de Grazalema park. Start the 4-hour Benaoján trail early to beat the afternoon heat. On your last full day, explore Ronda's famous gorge and bridges before driving 2 hours back to Seville.
- Day 10
Departure
Book afternoon flights from Seville if possible. Morning traffic to the airport can be heavy.
9 Day Spain Itinerary, incl. Madrid and Barcelona
Spanish wonders await in 6 cities, from Madrid's Royal Palace to Barcelona's Montjuïc Park. UNESCO sites like Cordoba's Mezquita and Granada's Alhambra complement Valencia's City of Arts. Daily breakfast, luxury coach transport, and expert guides included for approx. $170 per day.
- Days 1-2
Madrid
Land early on day 1 to settle in and get your bearings. The Puerta del Sol area is an ideal place to stay. Spend day 2 exploring Madrid's main attractions with a morning city tour. Visit the Prado Museum after 4 PM when it's less crowded. End your day with some tapas in La Latina, where the bars really come alive after 8 PM.
- Day 3
Córdoba to Seville
Take an early morning 4-hour drive south through La Mancha. Visit the Mezquita mosque-cathedral in Córdoba before noon to beat the crowds. One visitor shared: "The columns inside the Mezquita seem endless. The mix of Islamic and Christian architecture is unlike anything I've seen." Head to Seville in the late afternoon, about 2 hours away.
- Day 4
Seville
Start your morning at Seville's Cathedral and the Santa Cruz quarter. Visit Plaza de España early before the midday heat sets in. You'll have the afternoon free. The Real Alcázar is worth seeing but book online to avoid long wait times.
- Day 5
Granada
Drive 3 hours to Granada in the morning to see the spectacular Alhambra. Make sure to book your time slot well in advance. Visit the Generalife Gardens later in the day when most tourists have left. Wear comfortable shoes as you'll do lots of walking and climbing stairs.
- Day 6
Valencia
Take the 4-5 hour drive east to Valencia. Make time to see the City of Arts and Sciences complex. For dinner, look for authentic paella valenciana. Skip the tourist restaurants advertising seafood paella as it's not the local specialty.
- Days 7-8
Barcelona
Drive 4 hours along the Mediterranean to Barcelona. Stay in the Eixample area to be close to Gaudí's architecture. Visit Sagrada Familia first thing on day 8 to avoid lines. A previous visitor suggests: "The Magic Fountain show at Montjuïc is free and spectacular. Go 30 minutes early for good viewing spots."
- Day 9
Barcelona
If you have a later flight, use your final morning wisely. Las Ramblas is quiet before 10 AM for crowd-free photos. If you're leaving during rush hour (8-10 AM), give yourself extra time to reach the airport.

What people love about 10-day Andalucia tours
We had a great time! My mom is 70 so we needed a tour that is not constantly on the go. I know that some people was saying that there was too much time spent on the bus. I think that this is an unfair review. We saw so much of Spain that even the time we had on the bus was an experience. It was also a time to rest in between tours. We had some free time in the evening to explore the city we were currently in. Plus the bus did offer some internet although it was limited. Our guide althrough out the tour was Alex although in every city we had a local guide that knew the city very well but Alex was our chief contact. He was wonderful and patient with all of the questions that we had. He would send us our itinerary for the next day so we knew what to expect. He would send us some dinner recommendations and some sights if we are not too tired to explore. I highly recommend this tour if you want a taste of Spain

- Moorish Andalucia
Excellent choice of cities and hotels which were great clean and great location. The tour director was nice and tried to help when possible but sometimes she didn’t understand our needs. The size of the group was just right, and fortunately, everyone was very friendly. I was one of the oldest in the group, so in the heatwave weather, sometimes found it hard to keep up. There were people in the group who were consistently helpful and caring.
- Madrid & Southern Spain - 9 days
The address to our first hotel in Madrid was wrong. We felt anxious as we had to drag our suitcases across very busy streets. Carlos was an excellent guide and took good care of us. He was knowledgeable about all of the places we toured .
