After breakfast, your private expert guide will meet you at your hotel for a charming walking tour of Madrid’s historic heart. Strolling through cobbled streets and sun-dappled plazas, you’ll discover some of the city’s most iconic squares—Puerta del Sol, Plaza Santa Ana, and the handsome Plaza Mayor—each with its own story and atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll stop at the Mercado de San Miguel, a lively gourmet market where locals and visitors mingle over tempting bites and a glass of something chilled.
Let your guide know if you have any special interests—we’re happy to tailor the experience to your tastes.
You’ll continue through the elegant Plaza de la Villa and the leafy Plaza de Oriente before arriving at the grand Royal Palace.

This afternoon, you’re free to explore the magnificent Prado Museum at your own pace, with our pre-booked tickets ensuring you skip the lines. This world-renowned collection is a feast for the eyes and soul, showcasing masterpieces by Goya, Velázquez, El Greco, and many more.

Daytrip to Toledo, Spain
This morning, your journey takes you beyond Madrid to the captivating city of Toledo. After breakfast, your private driver will transfer you to the train station, where you’ll board the high-speed AVE train for the short but scenic ride south.
Upon arrival, your local expert guide will greet you and take you first to the Cigarrales district, known for its sweeping views over the Tagus River. From this vantage point, Toledo appears like a vision from another time—its towers and spires rising above the riverbend, steeped in centuries of art, culture, and history.
Toledo’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a tapestry of cultures and faiths. Once home to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities living side by side, the city’s architecture tells the story of this rich coexistence—Romanesque churches, synagogues, mosques, and Moorish arches sharing the same skyline.
Your walking tour will take you through the heart of the historic centre. You’ll visit Zocodover Square, the Church of Santo Tomé with El Greco’s celebrated painting, the Synagogue of El Tránsito, the beautifully preserved Santa María la Blanca, and the grand Gothic cathedral, a highlight of Spanish religious architecture.
After the tour, you’ll have some free time to enjoy lunch and explore at your leisure—Toledo’s winding streets are perfect for discovering artisan shops, hidden courtyards, and traditional Castilian flavours.
Later in the day, return by high-speed train to Madrid, for a relaxing evening.

Seville, Spain
This morning, you leave the energy of Madrid behind and travel south by high-speed train to the sun-drenched city of Seville. A private transfer will take you and your luggage from your hotel to Madrid Atocha station, and upon arrival in Seville, your driver will be waiting to escort you to your stylish, centrally located hotel—your home for the next chapter of your journey.
Seville, the radiant capital of Andalusia, is a city that captures the heart with its heady mix of tradition, beauty, and warmth. The scent of orange blossom lingers in the air, the echo of flamenco drifts through hidden courtyards, and a rich tapestry of Moorish, Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque architecture creates a truly captivating atmosphere.
After checking in, perhaps enjoy a leisurely lunch (not included) near your hotel. This region is renowned for its bold flavours—fresh seafood, ripe tomatoes, fragrant olive oil, and sun-kissed produce—reflected in simple yet exquisite Andalusian dishes.
This afternoon, immerse yourselves in the essence of Spain through one of its greatest passions: food. In a hands-on cooking class led by a professionally trained English-speaking chef, you'll prepare a full four-course menu that showcases the vibrant diversity of Spanish cuisine.

Seville, Spain
This morning, your private local guide will meet you at your hotel for a journey through Seville’s most evocative neighbourhood—Barrio Santa Cruz. Once the city’s Jewish quarter, its narrow, winding lanes and flower-draped balconies create an enchanting setting for your morning walk.
You’ll visit Seville’s magnificent cathedral, a blend of Gothic splendour and Moorish heritage, built in 1506 on the foundations of a grand mosque. Inside, discover the ornate chapels and the resting place of Christopher Columbus. Step into the serene Patio de los Naranjos—the Courtyard of the Orange Trees—and breathe in the scent of citrus as sunlight filters through ancient branches.
Next, you’ll explore the stunning Alcázar, a royal palace still in use today. With its graceful courtyards, intricate tilework, and lush gardens, the Alcázar is a masterpiece of Mudejar architecture and a place where history and romance linger in every corner. It was here that Emperor Carlos V married Isabel of Portugal in 1526—a royal love story set against one of the most beautiful backdrops in Spain.
This evening, prepare to be swept away by the emotion and rhythm of flamenco. You’ll attend a live performance in an intimate setting, where the haunting guitar, soulful vocals, and powerful dance—shaped by Jewish, Moorish, Roma, and Andalusian traditions—create an experience that stirs the heart and soul.

Sevilla - Ronda - Granada, Spain
This morning, your private Totally Spain driver will collect you from your hotel in Seville after breakfast for a beautiful journey to Granada, with a memorable stop in Ronda along the way.
Perched dramatically atop a rocky outcrop, Ronda is one of Andalusia’s most breathtaking towns. Divided by the dramatic El Tajo Gorge, the town is linked by the striking Puente Nuevo (New Bridge)—an 18th-century masterpiece that offers heart-stopping views and unforgettable photo opportunities. Ronda is also one of the main gateways to the Pueblos Blancos, the region’s iconic whitewashed villages.
Ronda is considered the spiritual home of bullfighting and boasts one of Spain’s oldest bullrings, opened in 1785. But its charm extends far beyond the ring. As you explore the old town, you'll come across elegant palaces and hidden courtyards, with the Mondragón Palace, now a museum, standing out for its rich history and lingering Moorish essence.
Take your time to soak up the romantic atmosphere of a town once described by Ernest Hemingway as “the most romantic in Spain.” After lunch, your driver will take you on to Granada, where you'll check in to your centrally located hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening in this atmospheric city at the foot of the Sierra Nevada.

Granada, Spain
After breakfast, prepare for one of the most breathtaking highlights of your honeymoon. You’ll be transferred from your hotel to meet your expert private guide for a private tour of the Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens—a place where history, art, and romance come together in unforgettable harmony.
This exquisite palatial complex, built between the 13th and 15th centuries, is often described as Europe’s most sensual and romantic monument. Nestled on the hill of La Sabika overlooking the Darro Valley, the Alhambra was once the residence of the Nasrid Sultans and is a shining example of Moorish brilliance at a time when much of Europe was still emerging from the Dark Ages.
As you explore the Arab Palaces, including the Palace of Comares, Hall of Ambassadors, and the iconic Palace of the Lions, you’ll be surrounded by graceful arches, shimmering pools, and intricate stucco work. The Generalife, with its fountains, flowering courtyards, and tranquil gardens, was the Sultans' summer retreat—designed as a paradise on earth.
The Alcazaba (military fortress), Medina, and the Renaissance Palace of Emperor Carlos V, all within the complex, tell a layered story of Islamic and Christian history. Today, the Alhambra and Generalife are honoured as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and it’s easy to see why—this is a place that lingers in the heart long after your visit.
This afternoon, your private guide will meet you again at your hotel for a walking tour of Granada’s Old Quarter.
Wander through the Albaicín, the city’s ancient Moorish district, where the whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets seem untouched by time. In this atmospheric neighbourhood, the Plaza San Nicolás offers what many say is the finest view of the Alhambra, especially as the light shifts in the late afternoon.
Continue to Sacromonte, known for its traditional cave houses, once home to Granada’s gypsy community. Mysterious and striking, this area adds yet another layer to the city’s rich cultural tapestry.

Cordoba, Spain
After breakfast, your honeymoon adventure continues as you're transferred from your Granada hotel to the train station for your high-speed journey to Córdoba, a city famed for its stunning blend of Jewish, Islamic, and Christian heritage. Upon arrival, your private driver will be waiting to take you to your centrally located hotel.
This afternoon, you’ll meet your expert local guide for a private exploration of this once-glorious Moorish capital of Al-Andalus.
Begin in the Old Jewish Quarter, where the atmosphere feels almost untouched by time. Narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed walls, and delicate balconies whisper stories of the city’s layered past. Visit the awe-inspiring Mezquita–Cathedral, one of the most iconic monuments in Spain. Originally built as a mosque in the 8th century, its immense prayer hall with rows of red-and-white arches is a marvel of Islamic architecture. In the 13th century, it was transformed into a cathedral, creating a fascinating blend of spiritual traditions under one roof.
Later, at your own pace, we recommend strolling across the Roman Bridge for scenic views of the old town and the Guadalquivir River. If time allows, consider visiting the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, a 14th-century Mudejar palace with lush Moorish-style gardens and an intriguing past as the seat of the Spanish Inquisition. And don't miss the chance to peek into some of the city's enchanting courtyard patios, especially if you're visiting in spring when they’re overflowing with flowers and charm.

Cordoba, Spain
Today is yours to enjoy at a relaxed pace, soaking up the gentle rhythms and quiet beauty of Cordoba.
If you're in the mood for a peaceful start, we suggest a visit to Hammam Al Andalus, the city’s beautifully restored Arab baths. With their warm thermal pools, candlelit ambiance, and calming aromas, they offer a wonderfully atmospheric way to begin the day. A massage treatment can also be included for an extra touch of indulgence. Just let us know if you’d like us to arrange it.
For those curious to explore further, a visit to Medina Azahara, the mysterious 10th-century palace-city built by the Umayyad caliphate, is another excellent option. Just outside the city, it offers panoramic views and a powerful sense of the grandeur that once defined Al-Andalus.
You might also enjoy simply wandering the quieter corners of the Old Quarter, discovering Córdoba’s hidden patios, charming artisan shops, and peaceful plazas—ideal for a lingering lunch and an unhurried afternoon.
This evening, for something truly unique, consider attending the “Passion and Spirit of the Andalusian Horse” at Córdoba’s historic Royal Stables. This mesmerising equestrian performance blends classical Spanish dressage with music and tradition in a spectacular setting. It’s a graceful and romantic way to end the day.
Let us know if either the Hammam or the equestrian show appeals—we’d be delighted to make arrangements for you.

Barcelona, Spain
This morning, your honeymoon journey continues as you're transferred with your luggage to Córdoba train station to board the high-speed train to Barcelona. On arrival, your private driver will be waiting to take you to your centrally located 4-star hotel.
Barcelona is one of Europe’s most captivating cities, brimming with bold creativity, seaside charm, and architectural magic. Known for its distinctive Catalan Art Nouveau (Modernisme) style, the city is home to the dazzling works of Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner, and Puig i Cadafalch. Around every corner, you’ll encounter striking design—whether in the swirling mosaics of Park Güell, the towering spires of the Sagrada Família, or the whimsical facades along Passeig de Gràcia.
In addition to its artistic flair, Barcelona boasts vibrant public spaces, monumental works by Joan Miró, and world-class museums that celebrate everyone from the Romans to Picasso and Dalí. Add to this a lively culinary scene, colourful markets, and its setting by the Mediterranean Sea, and you’ll find a city full of both energy and elegance.
This afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. We suggest a stroll through the atmospheric Gothic Quarter, with its winding lanes and historic squares, and a wander along Las Ramblas, the city’s famous tree-lined promenade. Alive with street performers, shops, and cafes, it’s one of the best places to feel the pulse of the city. Don’t miss a stop at the nearby Boqueria Market, a feast for the senses and one of Europe’s most iconic food markets.

Barcelona, Spain
After a hearty breakfast, meet your expert private guide and driver for a day exploring the artistic soul of Barcelona—a city transformed by the visionary genius of Antoni Gaudí, the leading figure of Catalan Modernism.
Begin with a visit to the extraordinary Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s most iconic and deeply spiritual creation. This soaring basilica, still under construction after more than a century, reflects Gaudí’s unique fusion of nature, faith, and form. He devoted himself to it from 1915 until his death in 1926, even living on-site in his final year. Today, his remains rest in the crypt, and the evolving masterpiece continues to honour his legacy.
Next, head to Parc Güell, one of Barcelona’s most beloved landmarks. With its colourful mosaics, whimsical creatures, and panoramic views over the city, the park captures Gaudí’s imaginative spirit. He also lived here from 1906 to 1925, and his former residence now houses the Gaudí House Museum.
Your morning concludes with a visit to Gaudí’s private residential projects along the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, including the sculptural Casa Milà – La Pedrera, where you’ll explore the interior at your own pace after your guide-led tour.
Enjoy the afternoon at leisure—perhaps browsing the boutiques along Passeig de Gràcia or unwinding with a drink at a rooftop terrace.
This evening, immerse yourself in Barcelona’s vibrant food scene on a guided small-group tapas tour, with all food and drinks included. This experience takes the guesswork out of dining as you’re led to authentic bars and taverns known for their local flair. Your guide will recommend regional Catalan wines, explain the history of tapas, and share insight into the neighbourhood’s culture—all while you savour each delicious bite.

Barcelona - Daytrip to Girona, Spain
Today, you’ll take a beautiful day trip to Girona, a vibrant and historic city just over an hour north of Barcelona. Known as the City of the Four Rivers, Girona offers a rich blend of cultures, architecture, and atmospheric charm—perfect for your final full day in Spain.
You’ll be transferred from your hotel to Barcelona Sants train station, where you’ll board the high-speed train to Girona. Upon arrival, your expert local guide will meet you for a private walking tour of the old quarter, one of the most enchanting in the region.
During the Middle Ages, Girona was a major centre of Jewish life, and today it is home to the best-preserved Jewish quarter in Spain. As you explore the narrow, cobbled lanes, shaded archways, and medieval stone façades, you’ll gain a deep sense of the city’s Sephardic history, now preserved and honoured through the Jewish Network of Spain.
Your walk will also include other highlights such as the Cathedral of Girona, the Arab Baths, and the churches of Sant Feliu, Sant Pere de Galligants, and Sant Domènech. Be sure to enjoy the views from the ancient city walls, which still stand proudly and offer sweeping vistas of the town and surrounding countryside.
This afternoon, enjoy free time to wander Girona at your own pace. Browse the boutique shops, stop for lunch in a quiet square, or simply soak in the beauty of this lesser-known gem.
