Sample Itineraries: An introduction to the Treasures of Spain II

March 27, 2012 By International Lodging Corporation

This next itinerary is similar to the previous one we published, An Introduction to the Treasures of Spain I, but it’s designed for travelers who have a little more time to spend exploring the many treasures that Spain has to offer visitors.

Similar to the first itinerary, this one will begin in Madrid and take you to the magnificent Andalusian cities of Seville, Córdoba and Granada, but it also includes a visit to Toledo, and will take you all the way to the southern coast of Spain, the Costa del Sol.

While on the Costa del Sol you’ll have a chance to explore the beautiful White Villages that dot the hillsides of Andalucía, and you’ll also have a chance to visit a British territory without having to cross water. Located on the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory that is best known for the prominent rock that juts into the Strait of Gibraltar.
