The essence of Andalusia connecting Madrid, Córdoba, Granada, Seville and Málaga by train

Without leaving Eastern Europe, you will come to know cities that seem to have been taken out of the Tales of a Thousand and One Nights. In Cordoba, you will visit one of the largest and most ancient mosques, a true forest of exquisite columns and one of the highpoints of the architecture of the Moorish period of Spain. Then in Seville, the capital of Andalusia, you will be able to stroll narrow streets, clearly inherited from the Moorish period, and climb one of the loveliest minarets in existence. And in Granada, you will walk through the sumptuous rooms of one of the most celebrated and best-conserved medieval Islamic palaces, the famous Alhambra. All this without leaving Spain, and only a few hours by train from Madrid, Spain´s active and modern capital.

This Tour Package can be extended with the inclusion of other interesting cities and towns such as JaenCadizRonda and Jerez de la Frontera. Maybe not as known as the main Andalusian cities mentioned previously, but as interesting as them.

NOTE: This is a custom train & hotel package. As experts, we will always recommend the minimum amount of nights you should stay in each city, once we communicate with you about your interests.

We will provide you with our section of accommodations on each city combined with the train tickets, private guided walking tours and other services upon request. You can start the day you choose, and you can extend your stay as much as you want.
