10D9N Best of Spain
Day 01 – MADRID INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – MADRID
Upon arrival in Madrid Airport, head to Madrid, the political, economic and financial centre of Spain and also its largest city. Apart from its renowned rich repositories of art and cultural gems, Madrid, as a modern metropolis, offers a taste of the everyday life and lifestyle of the Spanish people. Ranking high among the most-compelling attractions in Madrid are the Prado National Museum that houses one of the largest and finest art collections in the world and the city’s two very popular and historic public squares – Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.
Day 02 – MADRID: TOLEDO [B]
Go on a city tour of Madrid before heading out to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Toledo, an ancient town that was once the capital of Spain. Topping its long list of historic gems is probably the imposing 13th century Toledo Cathedral considered by many as one of the most important Gothic structures in Europe. The town itself has often been described as an open-air museum encapsulating the history of Spain.
Day 03 – MADRID: AVILA and SEGOVIA [B/L]
Guided day trip to Avila and Segovia. The ancient town of Avila, with its well-preserved walls stretching about 2.5km and historical and exceptional monuments both within and outside the walls, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Probably the most iconic symbol of the ancient town of Segovia, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is its Roman Aqueduct, a 16km elevated water conveyance structure built in the 1st century that is still in use today.
Day 04 – MADRID [B]
Enjoy Madrid at your own leisure (bus pass provided).
Day 05 – MADRID – BARCELONA [B]
Head to Barcelona on a high speed train. The seaside city of Barcelona, the capital of the region of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain. Almost synonymous with Barcelona is one of Spain’s most celebrated architect and designer, Antoni Gaudi, whose avant-garde surrealist buildings and structures include the world-renowned Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. There are 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in or near Barcelona and 7 of them were works of Gaudi. The most historic part of Barcelona that dates back over 2 millennia is its Gothic Quarter, known for its unique and well-preserved gothic architecture. And standing tall in the Gothic Quarter is the impressive gothic Barcelona Cathedral. La Rambla – the “social hub” of Barcelona – is a tree-shaded pedestrian street lined with shops, restaurants and outdoor cafes that is popular with both locals and visitors.
Day 06 – BARCELONA: MONTSERRAT [B]
Guided day trip to Montserrat, a multi-peaked mountain range about 45km northwest of Barcelona, where the Benedictine monastery Santa Maria de Montserrat is located. The summit of Montserrat offers spectacular views of the region of Catalonia.
Day 07 – BARCELONA: GIRONA [B]
Guided day trip to Girona, a medieval walled city considered by many as the jewel of Catalonia. Rivalling Barcelona in terms of historical importance in Catalonia, Girona’s historic structures and ambience earned the city the privilege of being the Game of Thrones filming locations of the Kings Landing, Braavos and the Citadel of Oldtown. Remember the scene of Queen Marjorie’s walk of shame? The steps she descended on are the steps of the Girona Cathedral.
Day 08 – BARCELONA [B]
Head out to La Roca Village, a very popular outlet-style luxury shopping destination with over 140 leading brands.
Day 09 – BARCELONA [B]
Visit Sagrada Familia with an express entry pass at your own pace. Thereafter, enjoy Barcelona at your own leisure (bus pass provided).
Day 10 – BARCELONA – BARCELONA AIRPORT [B]
Free time until your transfer to Barcelona Airport for your departure flight.
