Itinerary
This is what you can expect:
Highlights
DAY 1
Seville
Individual arrival at Seville airport and check into hotel (from 3 p.m.). Our hotel is centrally located. After you have freshened up, it is easy to get a first impression of Seville with its grand squares, impressive architecture, narrow streets full of nice shops and boutiques and more. In the evening we meet at the hotel to get to know each other and we start the evening with a tapas route along the lively bars of Seville.
DAY 2
Bike tour & Flamenco
Today starts with a bit of culture during a fun bike tour. We will pass the well-known and lesser-known highlights and sights in the old center of Seville. Our guide takes us to Plaza Espana, Parque Maria Louisa, Las Setas, the former Jewish district of Santa Cruz, but also the traditional and artistic Triana district across the Rio Guadalvivir. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. You might want to visit the inside of the Moorish palace, Alcazar Real de Sevilla, have a nice lunch at one of Seville’s many lively squares and stroll endlessly along the many boutiques to replenish your wardrobe with that one missing designer item. In the evening we will ‘warm up’ with a passionate flamenco show in the gypsy district of Triana. We can end the evening with a joint dinner and mingle amongst the Sevillano’s.
DAY 3
Granada & Alhambra
After breakfast, we’ll take the train to Granada for a visit to the magical Alhambra. Accompanied by our local guide, we’ll wander through the Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife Gardens, the Alcazaba, and all the hidden corners of this Moorish palace. A mystical experience you’ll never forget. Afterward, there’s plenty of time to explore the city and the Jewish Quarter at your leisure, and enjoy a delicious mint tea and sweet Arabic treats in one of the many Teterias for which the old city is famous.
DAY 4
Moorish Granada
Our morning starts in one of Granada’s most atmospheric and exotic neighborhoods, where the Moorish soul is still tangible in every cobblestone. During an intimate perfume workshop, you’ll create your own personalized perfume using scents the Moors once brought to Andalusia. A unique souvenir of this journey that you’ll take home with you. After this sensory experience, we’ll enjoy a light lunch together and move on to Madrid, the only European capital with a Moorish origin. We will start the evening in one of Madrid’s many cosmopolitan restaurants and experience the modern, cosmopolitan side of Spain. This is a perfect introduction to the energy of this metropolis.
DAY 5
Madrid
Today we will explore the Royal part of Madrid and visit the Royal Palace. The palace is the largest functioning royal palace in Europe and built exactly where the Moors built their Alcazar. Rich in history and great architecture, the attraction is sure to leave you in awe with its rooms and majestic interior decorations. From the Royal Palace it is a beautiful walk to the iconic Gran Via, passing the Teatro Real and Puerta del Sol. Gran Via is the typical place for a walk for Madrileños and of course a paradise for those who like to shop. If you want to skip a walk, the metro will take you at Gran Via in less then 20 minutes. In the early evening we will enjoy a lively citytour in the most authentic neighbourhoods of Madrid. From the rebellious streets of Malasaña to the stylish vibe of Chueca, the historic charm of La Latina, and the multicultural energy of Lavapiés, each neighbourhood has its own unique character. This tour is all about experiencing Madrid like a local—eating, drinking, and exploring the city’s most vibrant “barrios”.
DAY 6
Morocco & Fez
After bustling Madrid, we leave Spain today for our next adventure in Fez, the city known as the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco. Upon arrival, we’ll be welcomed in our luxurious and authentic Riad, an oasis of tranquility in the heart of the ancient medina. There’s deliberately no itinerary planned, giving you time to enjoy the Riad’s serene tranquility at your own pace, to explore the mysterious souks, or to relax in a traditional hammam. In the evening we invite you for dinner with splendid views over Fez.
DAY 7
Fez through the eyes of a woman
Today we will meet up with Fatima, the youngest female guide in Fez, for a Female Life Tour. On this tour Fatima will show the medina through her eyes and she will explain how women lived in the past with their old traditions, culture, religion and how it is integrated in modern Moroccan life. During the tour you are invited to visit different Moroccan families in their traditional ‘’dar ‘’ or ‘’Riad’’, where we will cook together, make tea and Moroccan cookies and more. This day is all about connecting.
DAY 8
Blue Chefchaouen
After breakfast our private chauffeur will drive us to Chefchaouen, the picturesque blue city nestled in the Rif Mountains. Upon arrival in the blue city, we’ll meet up with our expert local guide to wander through the labyrinthine blue-washed streets of the medina, visit vibrant markets, and picturesque alleyways and learn all about history, culture and local life in the blue pearl of Morocco. Lunch will be served in a true hidden gem with rooftop views. This day is all about inspiration, color and serenity. In the evening, we gather for our magical farewell dinner.
DAY 10
Goodbye & departure
