Meeting at Çukurova Airport International Departures Terminal with our valued guests at least 3 hours before departure. After completing ticket, baggage, and passport procedures, we will depart for Barcelona. Upon arrival in Barcelona, we will leave the airport and head to Spain's second-largest city and the capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, a city renowned for its magnificent works by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. Thanks to these masterpieces, Barcelona attracts four times its own population in tourists. During our panoramic city tour, we will visit La Sagrada Familia (also known as "The Unfinished Church"), Plaça d'Espanya, Gaudí's Houses (Casa Batlló and Casa Milà), Plaça de Catalunya, La Rambla Avenue, and Port Olímpic. Following the city tour, we will transfer you to your hotel. In the evening, guests who wish may join an optional guided tour organized by our guide: Barcelona Night & Gothic Quarter Tour (€35). On this tour, we will have the opportunity to see Barcelona illuminated, known as "the city that never sleeps." Afterwards, we will proceed to the Gothic Quarter, which we have not yet visited.

Barcelona
After breakfast, our Girona & Figueres tour will commence. We begin in Girona, the region's wealthiest city, nestled along the banks of the Onyar River and reminiscent of Florence at first glance. This charming medieval town, with its narrow streets and cathedral, is also famous as the filming location for the movie Perfume. Our panoramic tour will include the Lion Statue, Cathedral Square, houses with mezuzahs, the Jewish Quarter, La Rambla, and renowned shops. After some free time, we set off towards the city of Figueres, accompanied by breathtaking views of the Pyrenees Mountains.

VALENCIA-GRANADA
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for Granada. Upon arrival, we will take part in a guided tour of the Alhambra Palace (subject to availability; note that the harem is not included). The Alhambra, which accepts a limited number of visitors each day, derives its name from the red bricks used on its walls and the red tiles on its roof—“Alhambra” meaning “the Red.” As one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture, the Alhambra stands as a living testament through the ages. After our visit, we will explore Granada, a city rich in history and culture located at the heart of Andalusia, Spain. Granada is renowned for its historical heritage, music and dance traditions, breathtaking views, and the iconic Alhambra Palace. As one of Spain’s top tourist destinations, it welcomes millions of visitors annually. During our city tour, we will see key sites including Gran Vía Street, BibRambla and Plaza Nueva squares, Granada Cathedral (exterior view), La Madraza—the city’s first university, the Silk Market, and the former Nasrid Caravanserai. Following the tour, we will transfer back to our hotel. Guests wishing to enjoy an evening of entertainment may optionally join the Sacromonte Night Tour (€60), where you can experience the unique Flamenco interpretations of Granada’s Romani community within their traditional cave dwellings. Overnight stay at the hotel.
GRANADA
After breakfast at the hotel, we will proceed to our tour of Cordoba (including entry to the Mosque) and Seville. In Cordoba, we will first be greeted by the Guadalquivir River. Crossing the historic Roman Bridge and passing through the Roman Gate, we will enter the city. The most magnificent structure in this 2,000-year-old city is the Great Mosque of Cordoba, one of the largest mosques in the world, rising on 850 columns. Guided by our guide, we will enter this magnificent monument and witness its grandeur while receiving insightful information. After the tour inside the Cordoba Mosque, we will continue on foot, exploring the pristine old streets and admiring the delicate details of Andalusian architecture reflected in the ancient caravanserais and traditional houses of Cordoba. Following our visit to Cordoba, we will head towards Seville. We will see the Maria Luisa Park, which includes the Plaza de Espana and Plaza America; the Seville Cathedral (exterior view), the third-largest cathedral in the world and home to Christopher Columbus's tomb; the Giralda Minaret, the last remaining part of the mosque upon which the cathedral was built, symbolizing the legacy of the Andalusian Umayyad Caliphate; and the Alcazar Palace (exterior view), the former residence of the Castilian kings. Next, we will pass through the General Archive of the Indies, where records of all maritime expeditions to the Americas up to the 19th century are kept, before reaching the narrow, historic streets of Santa Cruz, known as "Old" Seville. At the end of our walk, we will see the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower), formerly a tobacco factory and now serving as the central campus of the University of Seville and housing a maritime museum. Guests who wish may optionally join the Flamenco Night Tour (€60 per person, excluding meals but including one drink). After the tour, we will return to Granada for an overnight stay at the hotel.
GRANADA-MADRID
After breakfast, we depart for Madrid. Upon arrival, we begin our city tour with Plaza Mayor, a grand square featuring 136 buildings and 437 balconies opening onto its courtyards. Historically, bullfights and the burning of individuals by the Inquisition were watched from these balconies. Highlights of our tour include Puerta del Sol, the heart of the city; Plaza Mayor; Plaza de Oriente, where the Royal Palace addresses the public; the Puerta de Alcalá, built as an entrance to showcase the city's wealth; Gran Via, renowned for its gallery-topped roofs; Plaza Colón; Cibeles Square and its fountain; and the Cervantes Monument.

MADRID
After breakfast at our hotel, we will embark on a tour of Toledo and its Cathedral. Located 70 km southwest of Madrid in the Castilla-La Mancha region, Toledo is undoubtedly one of Spain's most historically significant cities. With traces of all civilizations that have ever graced Spanish soil, it offers visitors unforgettable memories. Perched on protected, steep cliffs encircled by high walls and surrounded by the Tagus River, Toledo has always been a city of great importance throughout history—from the Romans to the Visigoths, from Al-Andalus to the Kingdom of Spain. Until the late 15th century, Toledo also served as the center of Judaism on the Iberian Peninsula. Today, it houses numerous important structures, including Europe's oldest surviving synagogue, dozens of churches converted from mosques, and the magnificent cathedral where Spain was once religiously governed. In essence, Toledo is a living mosaic where three Abrahamic faiths and their peoples have intertwined for centuries. Until 1561, when the imperial capital was moved to Madrid, Toledo remained the political, cultural, commercial, and military heart of the nation. It also inspired Cervantes' immortal masterpiece Don Quixote, with much of the story set in this city and its surroundings. For all these reasons, Toledo has earned its place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. During our visit, we will see iconic sites such as the famous viewpoint offering a breathtaking, picture-perfect view of the city dating back to the 16th century, San Martín Bridge, San Juan Monastery, the Jewish Quarter, Santo Tome Church, Santa Maria Cathedral Square, the main shopping street featuring everything unique to the city, and Zocodover Square, the historic central plaza. In the free time after the tour, you can taste Mazapan, a traditional almond paste specialty of Toledo, or try Manchego, Spain's world-renowned aged sheep cheese named after the region. As souvenirs, you may explore traditionally crafted swords, knives, and accessories made using medieval techniques—Toledo being the birthplace of the most famous steel in the Middle Ages, even featured in Hollywood films. Additionally, you can purchase Telkari items, a craft inherited from the Andalusian period, known as Damascening (Damasquinado), which features intricate motifs adorned with golden wires of varying thicknesses. Following this, we will proceed to our Segovia & Outlet Tour. On this excursion, we will visit Segovia and Ávila, both declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. After crossing the 11th-century walls, we will explore Old Ávila, visiting the exterior of its cathedral, the Basilica of San Vicente, Plaza Mayor, and the interior of Santa Teresa de Jesús' Birthplace. Later, we will head to Segovia, where we will admire the massive Roman aqueduct, the façade of Segovia Cathedral, Plaza Mayor, and the magnificent Alcázar of Segovia—a castle that evokes the image of Snow White's palace. Afterward, we will visit Las Rozas Village, the largest outlet center in the region. Following some free time for shopping, we will return to our hotel in Madrid. Overnight stay at our hotel.
MADRID-ÇUKUROVA
After breakfast, free time. Departure to Madrid Airport at the time set by our guide, followed by a private flight with Ajet to Çukurova Airport and the conclusion of our tour.
