Granada

Continue to the magnificent Jaen Cathedral, set in the lush countryside, before arriving in Granada.

Ronda

Here you’ll admire the spectacular clifftop views, and have time to explore the town itself, where you can visit the 14th century Arabic bathhouses and the Bullring (Plaza de Toros), where there is a museum depicting the history of Ronda’s bullfighting dynasties. Spend the night in Ronda.
Seville
Seville
In Seville, you’ll be treated to a traditional flamenco show before having a full day to explore this beautiful city under your own steam.

Lisbon

At a farm in the Sierra de Aracena, you’ll sample the famous Jamon Iberico and visit the Castle Vila Vicosa. Spend the night in Estremoz before travelling to Lisbon the next day.
