On this four-night break to Spain, you'll be able to discover not
just one but two of this captivating country's iconic cities. This
unique Spanish journey starts off in Seville-- a city where all passions
are ignited. As a former Moorish capital, its streets are awash in a
vibrant jumble of Christian-Muslim architecture and the very best tapas
bars (you must try the whisky tortilla!). The home of flamenco dancers,
gypsy street performers and Andalusian cowboys in wide-brimmed boleros,
who still strut in 2,000-year-old-plazas; if you’re looking to party,
then nowhere does it better than here!
After your 2 nights in
Seville, you will then take a relaxing journey to Madrid. The capital of
Spain, the city is more alive than any other. From the second your
train stops in Madrid, you’ll know you’ve arrived in a place where
enjoying life comes first and everything else is secondary. As summed up
by Lonely Planet “No city on earth is more alive than Madrid, a
beguiling place whose sheer energy carries a simple message: this is one
city which really knows how to live.” From astonishing art galleries,
relentless nightlife and stylish trends to a buzzing food, drink and
live-music scene, Spain’s central capital city has something to keep
everyone happy, whether you are a born and bred madrileño or just
stopping by. With a large amount of attractions and places to visit
around the city, you will be hard pushed to make time to fit everything
in.
