Character of this travel idea

This 12-day tour of Andalusia and Spain offers you a deep insight into the country. Whilst you’ll be captivated by major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, with their urban charm and cultural highlights, in between them lie beautiful stretches of coastline and unspoilt countryside.

Experience culture

The cultural diversity makes this tour of Andalusia and Spain’s cities a truly immersive experience. Madrid impresses with world-famous museums such as the Prado and a vibrant arts scene. In Andalusia, you can sense the deep-rooted influence of Moorish history: the magnificent Alhambra in Granada tells of a time when cultures merged, whilst Seville showcases architectural masterpieces such as its cathedral and the Alcázar.

Valencia bridges the gap between tradition and the future, a fact particularly evident in the futuristic “City of Arts and Sciences”. Barcelona rounds off the tour with Gaudí’s unmistakable style: the Sagrada Família and Park Güell stand as testament to creative visions that continue to resonate to this day. Each stop on this tour of Andalusia tells its own story, yet together they form a harmonious picture of Spain as a whole.

Experience nature

This ‘Best of Spain’ tour combines the country’s cultural and scenic highlights in a particularly varied way. Starting in Madrid, the tour first takes in the Castilian highlands, before moving south to Andalusia, where striking natural contrasts come to the fore: endless olive groves stretching across the province of Jaén, and the striking mountain landscapes of the Sierra Nevada near Granada, which offer a unique backdrop in every season.

Zwischen Sevilla und Granada prägen weite Ebenen, Flusstäler und die typischen weißen Dörfer das Landschaftsbild, während sich bei Valencia mediterrane Natur mit langen Sandstränden und dem Naturpark Albufera zeigt – bekannt für seine Reisfelder und stillen Lagunen. In Barcelona trifft schließlich Küste auf urbane Dynamik, wo das Mittelmeer allgegenwärtig ist.

The cuisine of Southern Spain

This 12-day tour of Spain offers a culinary diversity that could scarcely be more varied. In Madrid, traditional tapas bars and modern Michelin-starred cuisine set the tone – small dishes that provide a delightful start to your journey. Further south, Andalusia reveals its full aromatic depth: In Seville, you’ll be enveloped by the scent of orange blossom and freshly prepared ‘jamón ibérico’, whilst in Granada, tapas are still served as a matter of course with every drink.

The Moorish influences are evident here in spices such as saffron, cumin and cinnamon. Valencia surprises visitors with its authentic paella, which originated right here and is best enjoyed in good company. Finally, in Barcelona, Catalan tradition and creative avant-garde merge to form a vibrant food scene.

The authentic Spain

Amidst small tapas, lively conversation and a relaxed atmosphere, this is where you’ll find the true Madrid way of life – informal, enjoyable and convivial. In Andalusia, a flamenco performance in Seville is particularly memorable, especially in a smaller, intimate tablao. The intensity of the singing, dancing and guitar playing conveys the emotional depth of this art form in a way that goes far beyond a traditional performance.

Central Spain, in particular Extremadura, is a beautiful region with great natural scenery and many medieval towns. The trip there was very well organised and we had a great travel experience.

A rich journey through Central Spain, historic cities with an immense wealth of art and history, wide plains and mountainous surroundings in one, even in small towns there are places of interest, a very clean country with friendly and helpful inhabitants.

Our trip to Extremadura was wonderfully organised by Geotoura! I felt very well looked after and informed (even during the pandemic with rebooking of hotels and flights and the special conditions). The hotels were magnificent and I have warm memories of the cities.

A wonderful journey through the Extremadura for people who want to take it easy, manageable driving routes, very calming due to the uniformity of the landscape. Without knowledge of foreign languages it can be difficult in the countryside. Suggestions and support were excellent. I would therefore travel with Geotoura again at any time.

We had a great round trip through Andalusia with nice different hotels and changing landscapes. A scratch on the car, which we had picked up, was quickly dealt with and we were able to continue our journey without any worries.

We had a wonderful holiday in Andalusia which, as always, was far too short to see the many interesting sights and still have time to relax, go hiking or simply swim in the Atlantic. The hotels were again very well chosen. We love staying in small, special hotels and enjoying the Spanish flair. Thank you very much and see you next time.

Our tour of Andalusia was very well and individually organised. We had as much time as we wanted, the hotels were very different and, apart from one alternative, all very individual and pleasant. The guided tours, an excursion to the Sierra Nevada and the evening events were excellent. Overall, we got a good impression of Andalusia and the organisation was perfect.
