 Coast of Light Route | 7 Nights (min)
Price It | | Pine groves and dunes of fine sand stand watch over the beaches that run from Ayamonte (the estuary of the river Guadiana) to Tarifa and Gibraltar, comprising a coast made of patches of sand and sun. A coastline where the rivers split into myriad channels before pouring into the sea; where the wetlands, the estuaries and the salt pans blur the boundaries between water and land. It is known as the Coast of Light due to the peculiar effect of the sun on the spotless whitewashed walls, the golden dunes, and the silvery reflection of the sea, the only touch of grey in this land of color. Inland: varied landscapes of mountains with their blue Spanish firs, meadowlands on which the fighting bulls graze, vineyards and snow-white villages, whose names end in `of the Frontier` and which are presided over by Arab fortresses. The spring is an explosion of flowers and processions; the winter is mild and sunny, a temperate paradise. (Andalucia_and_its_towns Vacations) |
 The Nazari Route | 7 Nights (min)
Price It | | Combine the beauty of the Sierra de Cazorla Nature Park with the monumental cities of Úbeda and Jaén along the so-called `Nazari Route` This itinerary, staying for three nights in the Paradores of these three cities in the province of Jaén, rescues and extols the legacy of Al-Andalus in this area. The route begins in Cazorla, whose Moorish past is evident from the castle of La Yedra, continues with the town wall of Úbeda and then the supreme serenity of the Arab Baths of Jaén. But its Arab legacy is not the only wonder this region has to offer: the Cazorla Nature Park, the Renaissance mansions of Úbeda -known as the Spanish Tuscany- or the noble mansions of Jaén are other highly recommended visits.

As one would expect, the trip is sprinkled with Andalusian folklore. (Andalucia_and_its_towns Vacations) |
| The Roman Silver Road | 8 Nights (min)
Price It | | Along with the Road to Santiago, the almost 800 kilometers from Zafra to Astorga comprise one of the most popular historical routes to discover the architectural and gastronomic heritage of the Iberian Peninsula. The Roman Silver Road, which has nothing to do with the metal from which it takes its name, was built for military purposes in I BC, like all other Roman roads. It was paved and bridges were constructed which remain standing to this day, as well as Millaria (granite scrolls) and mansios (places for travelers to rest, the origin of some current-day settlements). During the period of splendor of the Mesta (the association of sheep and cattle farmers), the Cañada Real de la Plata -the Royal Silver Track- ran parallel to the Roman road itself and was used for moving animals to pastures. The Route was also traveled by Arabs and Christians during the Reconquista, and no less important was its use as a pilgrimage route to Santiago. This route passes through six cities in Extremadura: Zafra, Mérida, Cáceres, Trujillo, Jarandilla and Plasencia, all of them home to historic Paradores hotels which will help make your visit even more enjoyable.

| The Soul of Andalucia Route | 9 Nights (min)
Price It | | Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, Ronda - the names ring sweet to the ears. These cities are bastions of a romantic feel that harkens back to a bygone era. Andalucia is most people`s quintessential dream-image of Spain. It doesn`t disappoint. This is the Spain most often seen in films and portrayed in novels: Dazzling white villages and fortified castles on hilltops in the distance - olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, and shaded, flower filled patios resting coolly in the afternoon heat. The people here are vivacious, passionate and proud. This is the birthplace of Flamenco - a fiery and profound music perhaps best interpreted by the gypsies who have made this land their home.

| The Silver Route II | 11 Nights (min)
Price It | | Guadalupe, Plasencia, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Zamora, Benavente and León lie peacefully along the Portuguese border. These beautiful cities provided food and shelter along a section of one of the most emblematic routes of the Roman Hispania: the Silver Route. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the drover`s roads of the Mesta and part of the Road to Santiago, whose tradition is still very much alive. This route enters the green Spain and along it there are many superb examples of Romanesque, Gothic and Spanish Renaissance architecture. Guadalupe greets travelers, flanked by the steep mountains. The ecclesiastical significance is very much in evidence in the rich sacred Heritage of Plasencia. In the province of Salamanca, the monumental wealth of Ciudad Rodrigo and its landscape are worthy preludes to Salamanca itself, always teeming with university life. The route rests in Zamora and Benavente with a lesson in Romanesque art. The icing on the cake: León and its monumental Parador hotel. (Andalucia_and_its_towns Vacations) |

| Andalucia and its towns Cities |
Arcos de la Frontera
For a taste of the ambience of true Andalucia pay a visit to Arcos de la Frontera, a beautiful historic town. Don't miss Saint Peter's Church dating from the 14th century and built on the remains of an Arab fortress. The main facade is 18th century and is of Baroque design. The ruined citadel, the theatre, and the palace of the dukes of Arcos are the main points of interest in Arcos de la Frontera. When it comes to shopping, local crafts and ceramics are in abundance and can be bought quite cheaply. | Book this City | Carmona
Carmona was the strongest city of Further Spain in the time of Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.). The Moors have surrounded it with a wall and ornamented it with fountains and palaces. Today, Carmona is a fascinating city with many vestiges that attest its great history like the principal entrance to the town, an old Moorish gateway and the gate on the road to Cordova that is partly of Roman construction. The main sights include the Roman necropolis, a 15th century church and the Roman amphitheatre. | Book this City | Cordoba
Cordoba offers a powerful multi-cultural sampler. Founded by the Romans, Cordoba's glory peaked under Moorish rule, who built the beautiful Grand Mosque, or "Mezquita". The Christian rulers decided to leave it standing and built a cathedral in the midst of its rows of arches and columns. Cordoba's treasures also include the Alcazar, built by the Christians in 1328; the Calahorra Fort, originally built by the Arabs, which guards the Roman Bridge, and the ancient Jewish Synagogue, now a museum. | Book this City | Granada - Airport City
Granada is a jewel standing at the foot of Spain's highest mountains, the Sierra Nevada. Like many others, this city bears the marks of Roman, Moorish, and Jewish influences. The universally famed Alhambra, a complex of palaces and gardens built under the Nazari Dynasty, overlooks the city. Notably, Isabel and Ferdinand lie buried inside the city's Cathedral. The famed "mudéjar" style of architecture can be spotted in the Monastery of La Cartuja and many other churches built by Moorish craftsmen. | Book this City | Jerez de la Frontera
With its aristocratic charm, Jerez de la Frontera is a hidden gem of Spain, a must-see town should you venture beyond the large cities. The British made the town famous by taking the sweet wines made here and naming them "sherry" for the outside world. Once sitting on the border between the Christian and Moorish worlds, Jerez is also known for its fine horses and amazing singers and dancers of flamenco. Its magnificent dancing horses can be seen at the Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Art. | Book this City | Puerto de Santa Maria
El Puerto de Santa Maria is an old, small port-town within reach of Jerez de la Frontera and part of the "Sherry Triangle". Situated on the Costa del Luz and boasting some great white sand beaches, the town remains attractive as a seafood destination, where sherry and brandy bodegas also abound. For culture and history seekers, it is worth knowing that Columbus, as well as author Washington Irving once lived here. Other sites of interest are Castillo de San Marcos and Plaza del Toros. | Book this City | Ronda
Situated in a very mountainous area, Ronda is divided in half by a river gorge, bridged by Puente Nuevo, one of the most photographed structures in Spain. On one side of the bridge is the old Moorish town with many historic buildings including the House of the Moorish King, one of the main attractions in Ronda. On the other side is El Mercadillo, a spectacular recent urban development. One of the most beautiful spots in Ronda is Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, of Arab origin. Ronda's Plaza de Toros is the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. | Book this City | Seville - Airport City
Seville is the largest town in the famous Southern province of Andalusia, best known for the impressive Cathedral with its Giralda tower, as well as the Alcazar, which also serves as a visiting residence for the Spanish Royal family.
