Tour Highlights
Splendours of Andalucía
Divided from Morocco by the Strait of Gibraltar, Andalucía is one of Spain's most scenic regions. Its sun-beaten cities are strewn with superb HispanoMoorish architecture, as revealed on this comprehensive tour.
Visit two of the region's UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alhambra in Granada, a grand Islamic fortress; and the Mezquita in Córdoba, a mosque-turned-cathedral built in 786 AD. Along the way, explore some of Andalucía’s prettiest countryside and towns.
