7-Day Andalucia Tour Packages
Picture visiting southern Spain's most distinctive region. Andalusia brings Seville's flamenco and tapas culture, Granada's Alhambra, and Córdoba's Mezquita blending mosque and cathedral. Visit white villages like Ronda dramatically perched on cliffs, maybe Málaga for Picasso museums, and Cádiz for Atlantic beaches. The Moorish influence shows everywhere in architecture, food, and music.

7 Days in Andalucia, incl. Seville and Cadiz
An impressive 7-day route covers 8 historic cities from Seville's Gothic cathedral to ancient Cádiz. The tour includes Carmona's walled town, cycling Via Verde paths near Puerto Serrano, and Jerez's renowned sherry bodegas and flamenco culture.
- Day 1
Seville
Begin your journey in Seville. Get to the Alcázar palace by 9 AM to avoid crowds (it opens at 9:30 AM). Book your Cathedral and Giralda tower tickets online to skip the lines. For evening entertainment visit Triana for local flamenco shows. A recent visitor shared: "The intimate tablao venues feel more authentic than the big tourist shows, and the energy is electric."
- Day 2
Seville to Carmona (45km)
Take Seville's bike paths alongside the River Guadalquivir heading northeast. You'll ride through sunflower fields on mostly flat ground. The route has limited shade so bring plenty of water. The final stretch to Carmona includes some dirt tracks where wider tires help. Your night's stay is in a stunning 14th-century Arabic castle-hotel overlooking the town.
- Day 3
Carmona to Montellano (40km)
Ride south on quiet country roads through olive groves. The morning is flat and steady. Stop for lunch in Marchena about 25km in where local bars offer excellent tapas. Your destination is Montellano with its distinctive pink marble buildings. You'll stay in an authentic hacienda among almond trees.
- Day 4
Montellano to Arcos de la Frontera (55km)
This is your most challenging but scenic day. Start with rolling hills through Mediterranean forest. You'll enjoy 8km on the Via Verde (an old railway line) which offers a nice break from road riding. Stop for lunch in Puerto Serrano halfway through. The final climb to Arcos de la Frontera is steep but rewards you with spectacular clifftop views.
- Day 5
Arcos to Jerez (35km)
Follow the Guadalete River valley through orange groves and quiet villages. Plan to reach Jerez by early afternoon for a bodega tour. Book the popular Tio Pepe tours ahead of time. A previous cyclist noted: "The riverside route was peaceful, but bring sunscreen—there's little shade between Arcos and Jerez."
- Day 6
Jerez to Cadiz (40km)
Head south toward the coast through El Puerto de Santa Maria where you can stop at excellent seafood restaurants. Follow beach paths into historic Cadiz. Try to arrive late afternoon to see the cathedral dome in golden light. Consider staying an extra night to enjoy an evening walk along the seafront promenade.
- Day 7
Cadiz
Finish your trip after breakfast. Regular high-speed trains run to Seville in 1 hour 35 minutes. Book an afternoon train to avoid rushing your final morning.
6 Days in Southern Spain, incl. Málaga and Granada
A 6-day tour through Andalucia takes in Malaga's Pompidou Centre, Gibraltar's Rock, Granada's Alhambra Palace, and El Chorro's Caminito del Rey. The package includes 5 nights at 4-star hotels with daily breakfast at approx. $200 per day.
- Day 1
Málaga Arrival
Arrive at Málaga Airport and get to your city center hotel near the Central Train Station. Plan to arrive mid-morning to skip rush hour traffic and have your room ready when check-in opens at 2 PM. The historic center is perfect for an afternoon walk since most sights are within 15 minutes on foot.
- Day 2
Exploring Málaga
Take the Hop-on Hop-off bus tour starting at 10 AM from Avenida de Manuel Agustín Heredia. Buses run every 30 minutes in the morning and every 45 minutes after 2 PM. Visit Castillo de Gibralfaro first before the day gets too hot. The beachfront Malagueta area is nice for later when you need to cool off with the sea breeze.
- Day 3
Gibraltar Day Trip
Take the 10 AM bus to Gibraltar from Paseo Jesús Santos Rein in Fuengirola. The trip takes about 10 hours total. Remember your passport since border crossing takes 15-30 minutes. Go straight to the Rock when you get there to catch the clearest views of Africa. Keep an eye on your things around the Barbary macaques. Skip the duty-free shops after 3 PM when cruise passengers flood in.
- Day 4
Granada & Alhambra
Leave at 8 AM for Granada. A recent visitor shared: "Book your Alhambra time slot for early afternoon - the morning sun makes for harsh photos of the courtyards." Bring water and wear shoes with good grip since the marble steps can be slippery. Visit the Generalife Gardens last when the crowds thin out.
- Day 5
Caminito del Rey
Meet at Avenida de Andalucía at 10:20 AM for this 6-hour adventure. You'll need sturdy shoes and a light jacket since the canyon gets windy. The path is safe but it's quite high up. Pack some snacks because food options are limited.
- Day 6
Departure
Check out by noon and book your airport transfer at least 4 hours before your flight. If you're leaving late keep your bags at the hotel and spend time around the Picasso Museum. It's close to most city center hotels and you'll find plenty of good lunch spots.

What people love about 7-day Andalucia tours
- Madrid and Andalusia
The sites and tour was as planned. The tour guides did an excellent job of explaining and giving information. We had a nice group of people on the tour with no conflicts. Hotels were all up to par , clean and organized with very nice breakfast buffets. As expected there were crowds in the mornings of the other bus tours . The tour did not depart exactly on time. We had multiple, good !, guides but it would have been nice to have fewer exchanges. Wednesday, in Seville, seemed to have a lot of schedule uncertainties - due to multiple groups coalescing? Overall, my granddaughter and I had a great time - and she recommends it as well :)
- Highlights of Andalusia
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Andalucia. Our tour guide Sergi was so knowledgeable about the towns we visited and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone's wishes was catered for. On top of that he ensured that everyone had all the documentation and information required for their onward journey. I highly recommend this tour to anybody.
