Spain: Vibrant Cities & Countryside Walks - Spain

Throw yourself in the vibrant culture of southern Spain's historic cities, delectable cuisine, and picturesque landscapes on this active eight-day adventure. Discover the rich history of Córdoba and Ronda on guided tours, and stay active with hikes through olive groves and farmland to Benaoján. Be enchanted by the smaller towns of Baeza and Úbeda, and experience the thrill of walking the cliffside paths of the Caminito del Rey, with stunning views of the gorge below. Let Spain's vibrant traditions and flavours elevate your journey as you explore, hike, and savour every moment.

Day 1 Baeza: Córdoba and Andalucía
The Andalucian countryside beckons as you set off from Seville. Bustling cities and larger-than-life monuments soon give way to olive groves, rolling hills and small towns, where the pace of life feels somehow different. We welcome you to Spain, and we invite you to fall into step with the rhythm of Andalucia through its beautiful landscapes, fascinating history and incredible food.

Day 2 Baeza: Úbeda and Olive Oil Country
Today will be a celebration of the humble olive, ubiquitous in these parts of Spain and its high quality oil being an essential ingredient in kitchens and on tables all over the world. You'll explore another nearby Andalusian town and taste some of the best olive oil on the planet before savouring another delicious meal made from local ingredients.

Day 3 Granada: Your OMG Day
Discover Granada today on your own terms. Choose between 2 activities which are very representative of the region, either immersing yourself in all things Flamenco or eating your way through the city on a food tour. Whichever you choose, your 5 senses will thank you.

Day 4 Granada: The Alhambra
No trip to Granada would be complete without a visit to one of the most famous Moorish architectural monuments in Europe, the Alhambra. Imagine yourself in ages past as you explore the grounds and take in the spectacular craftsmanship and design of the archways, courtyards and windows looking out towards the city. Truly an architectural marvel, the beauty, design and history of the Alhambra are timeless.

Day 5 Ronda: Hike the Caminito del Rey
Leaving Granada behind, the landscapes change quickly and as you approach the Guadalhorce River you will quickly see the imposing cliff walls of a massive gorge called Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, where our trailhead lies. Tighten up your shoelaces and embark on one of the most exhilarating and spectacular hikes in the country along the Caminito del Rey, following walkways clinging to the sides of the cliffs with views to the valley and the canyons below.

Day 6 Ronda: Hike to Benaoján
More spectacular scenery awaits you today as you embark on a hike in the mountainous Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, to the town of Benaoján. Walk along rolling farmland and past olive groves as you take in the views of the surrounding landscapes and breathe in lungfulls of fresh air that replenish your energy with every step.

Day 7 Seville: Captivating Ronda
The city of Ronda is dramatically situated on a mountaintop, perched above a deep gorge called El Tajo, which separates the old and the new parts of the city. As you explore some of the iconic sites on foot you will quickly appreciate the rugged geography of the area which somehow seems to perfectly frame the city's characteristic landmarks and historic architecture.
