Tour Highlights

  • Malaga: We will take a full-day tour to Málaga, an ancient port known as “the City of Paradise” for its perfect mix of history and culture, sunny beaches and blue sea. We will visit the Gibralfaro, an old Moorish fortress with fantastic sea and city views, an incredible cathedral, and explore Picasso’s history and art at the Picasso Museum. A special tapas (small plates) lunch is included.
  • Granada and Alhambra: Experience the magnificence of La Alhambra, Spain’s most iconic monument. Perched on the red hill above Granada, this spectacular fortress was once the summer palace of Moorish royalty and offers a stunning blend of history, architecture, and breathtaking views. We also visit the serene Generalife Palace, once the sultans’ summer retreat, and stroll through the enchanting Generalife Gardens. A panoramic tour of Granada reveals its rich Moorish and Christian heritage, including the Madraza (Islamic university), the Alcaicería market, Corral del Carbón, the majestic Renaissance Cathedral, and the elegant Royal Chapel. Lunch at a local restaurant is included.
  • Nerja Caves and Frigiliana: We’ll enjoy a full-day tour of the magnificent prehistoric caves known as the “Underground Cathedral”. Famed for their huge, dramatic stalactites and stalagmites—including the largest stalactite in the world—they are home to some of the oldest art known to humankind. We will also visit Frigiliana to explore its historic quarter, one of the best-preserved Moorish settlements in Spain. We will walk its winding streets, learn its history, and take in some spectacular views of the Costa del Sol.
  • Marbella and Puerto Banos: On this half-day coastal tour, we will visit Spain’s most exclusive resort area, with 27 km of beaches, villas, hotels and golf courses. The focal point is a luxury marina and shopping complex, which welcomes some of the largest and most luxurious private yachts in the world.
  • Ronda: Travel to Ronda for a guided tour of its historic old town, including landmarks like the Puerta de Almocábar, and the famous Maestranza Bullring—birthplace of traditional bullfighting.
  • Fuengirola Market & Mijas: We will visit the colourful Fuengirola Street Market on Tuesday, where hundreds of vendors have everything from antique maps to gemstones to clothing for sale—with bargains galore! From there, we’ll head to the picturesque village of Mijas to explore its whitewashed streets and ancient buildings, with a stop at a local bar for a tasting of wine and tapa.
  • Gibraltar: Travel along the Costa del Sol to the unique British territory of Gibraltar, located on Spain’s southern coast with views across to Africa. Enjoy a panoramic guided tour, exploring key sights and learning about the area’s fascinating history. Spot the famous wild Barbary monkeys—but please observe from a distance and avoid touching or feeding them. After the tour, enjoy free time for lunch and shopping along Main Street, known for its duty-free bargains.
  • Holiday Celebrations: For those joining us on the December tour, we celebrate the holidays with special dinners on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We ring in the New Year with a festive Gala NYE Dinner & Party with many delicacies, open bar and live band. (December tour only.)
