Tour Program
ISTANBUL-MADRID
Meeting our valued guests at the International Departures Terminal of Istanbul Airport at least three hours before the flight. Following ticketing, baggage, and passport procedures, we will depart for Madrid on flight TK1857 at 07:55. We will arrive in Madrid at 10:25 local time, after which we will leave the airport. Upon arrival, we will begin our Madrid city tour.
We will start with Plaza Mayor, meaning “the main square.” This square features 136 buildings and 437 balconies opening onto the courtyard. In the past, bullfights and the people burned by the Inquisition were watched from these balconies. The sights to be visited 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 gate to demonstrate the city’s wealth; Gran Vía, which is renowned for its roofed galleries; Plaza de Colón; Cibeles Square and its fountain; and the Cervantes Monument.
For guests who wish, we will organize an optional Toledo tour (€70). Located 70 km southwest of Madrid and serving as the capital of the Castile–La Mancha region, Toledo is undoubtedly one of the most important cities in Spanish history. With its appearance reflecting traces of all the civilizations that have passed through Spain, it offers visitors unforgettable memories.
Surrounded by the Tagus River, established on protected steep cliffs, and enclosed by high city walls, Toledo has always been a valuable city throughout history, from the Romans and Visigoths to Al-Andalus and the Kingdom of Spain. It was also the center of Judaism on the Iberian Peninsula until the end of the 15th century. The city contains many important structures, including Europe’s oldest surviving synagogue, dozens of churches converted from mosques, and Spain’s magnificent cathedral, from which the country was religiously governed. Toledo is, in a sense, a mosaic where the three Abrahamic religions and their peoples came together. Until the Empire moved its capital to Madrid in 1561, Toledo was a political, cultural, commercial, and military center. The city also inspired Cervantes’ immortal work Don Quixote of La Mancha, much of which takes place in and around Toledo. For all these reasons, Toledo has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
During our tour, we will see the famous viewpoint, from which the city’s magnificent 16th-century appearance can be photographed like a painting; the San Martín Bridge; the Monastery of San Juan; the Jewish Quarter; the Church of Santo Tomé; the Cathedral Square of Santa María; the shopping street, where visitors can find everything unique to the city; and Zocodover Square, the city center.
During our free time after the tour, you may taste Toledo’s traditional almond confection, Mazapán, and try Manchego, Spain’s internationally renowned aged sheep’s cheese, which takes its name from this region. As souvenirs, you may browse traditional swords, knives, and accessories, produced using traditional methods in Toledo, one of the most famous centers of medieval steel and even used in Hollywood films. You may also purchase filigree products inherited from the city’s Al-Andalus period, known as Damasquinado, decorated with beautiful motifs made from gold wires of different karats.
Following the tour, we will transfer to our hotel and spend the night there.
MADRID-BARCELONA
After breakfast, we depart for Barcelona. Guests who wish may join an optional tour of Zaragoza along the way (€30). After the tour, we continue our journey to Barcelona. Upon arrival, we will take a panoramic city tour of Barcelona, the capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia and Spain’s second-largest city, home to the magnificent works of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. Thanks to its remarkable landmarks, the city attracts four times its population in tourists. The sights we will see include La Sagrada Família, also known as the “Unfinished Church,” Plaza de España, Plaça de Catalunya, Gaudí’s houses (Casa Batlló and Casa Milà), La Rambla, and Port Olímpic. After the city tour, we will transfer to our hotel.
In the evening, guests who wish may join the Barcelona by Night & Gothic Quarter Tour (€35), which will be organized as an optional excursion by our guide. During this tour, we will have the opportunity to see Barcelona, known as the sleepless city of Europe, beautifully illuminated at night. We will then head to the Gothic Quarter, which we have not visited before. After visiting Barcelona Cathedral, the Temple of Augustus, and Carrer del Bisbe, the neighborhood’s most famous street, we will have free time for dinner on La Rambla. Overnight at our hotel.
Barcelona
After breakfast, guests who wish may join the Girona & Figueras Tour (€100), to be arranged as an optional excursion by our guide. We begin our tour in Girona, the richest city in the region, situated on the banks of the Onyar River and reminiscent of Florence at first glance. A charming medieval city well worth seeing, with its narrow streets and cathedral, Girona is also where the film Perfume was filmed. During our panoramic tour, we will see the Lion Statue, Cathedral Square, houses with mezuzahs, the Jewish Quarter, Rambla, and its famous shops. After some free time, we depart for the town of Figueras, enjoying views of the Pyrenees Mountains along the way. The town has such an impressive atmosphere that it inspired Salvador Dalí, the world-renowned and unconventional painter, throughout his life. Here, we will visit the museum-house personally decorated by the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. Following our visit to this museum, which contains works depicting his undying love, Gala, as well as thought-provoking pieces, each valued at millions of dollars, we will transfer to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
BARCELONA-VALENCIA
After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for Valencia. Located on Spain’s eastern coast and surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, Valencia is a historic and modern city. As Spain’s third-largest city, Valencia attracts visitors with its rich history, culture, and art. Upon arrival, we will take a city tour during which we will see the City Hall, the Gothic Cathedral, the bullring, the City of Arts and Sciences, the historic Mercado Central market, and the old Silk Exchange. Following the tour, we will transfer to our hotel, check in, and have free time. Overnight at our hotel.
Valencia-Granada
After breakfast at the hotel, we will set off for Granada. Guests who wish may join the Alhambra Palace Tour (€60), to be arranged optionally by our guide. The tour of the Alhambra Palace will be conducted subject to availability (excluding the harem). Since the Alhambra accepts a limited number of visitors each day, it is named Alhambra, meaning “Red,” because red bricks were used on its walls and red tiles on its roof. A testament that has survived to the present day as one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture, the Alhambra Palace will be visited.
Granada, located in the heart of Andalusia, is a city rich in history and culture. It is famous for its historical heritage, music and dance, breathtaking views, and the Alhambra Palace. The city is one of Spain’s leading tourist destinations and welcomes millions of visitors every year. During our city tour, we will see Gran Vía Avenue, Bib-Rambla and the City Hall Squares, Granada Cathedral (from the outside), the Madraza, Granada’s first university, the Silk Market, and the former Nasrid Caravanserai.
Following our tour, we will transfer to our hotel. Guests who wish to spend the evening in an entertaining atmosphere may join the optional Sacromonte Night Tour (€60). During this tour, you will have the opportunity to watch the unique flamenco performances of the Roma people living in Granada, performed in their stone houses. Overnight at our hotel.
Granada-Seville
After breakfast at the hotel, free time. Guests who wish may join the optional Córdoba tour (60 euros).
In Córdoba, we will first be welcomed by the Guadalquivir River. We will enter the city by walking across the historic Roman Bridge and passing through the Roman Gate. We will visit the most magnificent structure of this 2,000-year-old city, the Great Mosque of Córdoba, one of the largest mosques in the world, built on 850 columns. Accompanied by our guide, we will learn fascinating details while witnessing the grandeur of this magnificent monument.
After our tour of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, we will continue on foot through the immaculate old streets, seeing the historic inn and the houses of Córdoba, which reflect all the elegance of Andalusian architecture.
Following our Córdoba tour, we will continue to Seville. We will see María Luisa Park, home to Plaza de España and Plaza de América; Seville Cathedral, the third-largest cathedral in the world and the resting place of Christopher Columbus (exterior visit); the Giralda Tower, the last surviving part of the mosque upon which the cathedral was built, carrying the legacy of the Umayyad State of Andalusia; and the Alcázar, the palace of the kings of Castile (exterior visit).
We will then pass through the Archive of the Indies, where records of all maritime expeditions to the Americas from the Age of Discovery until the 19th century were kept, and reach the narrow old streets of the Santa Cruz district, known as “Old Seville.” At the end of our walk, we will see the former tobacco factory, now used as the central campus of Seville University, and the Torre del Oro, or Golden Tower, which houses a maritime museum.
Guests who wish may join the optional Flamenco Night Tour (60 euros, without dinner and including one drink). Following the tour, we will return to Granada. Overnight at the hotel.
Seville
After breakfast at the hotel, guests who wish may join the optional Marbella, Mijas & Málaga tour (EUR 120). Mijas is a charming and traditional mountain town located in the Málaga province of Andalusia in southern Spain, particularly famous for its whitewashed houses. Situated close to the Costa del Sol, Mijas is notable for both its sea views and historic character. Mijas Pueblo, the historic part of the town, offers a postcard-like scene with its narrow streets, typical Andalusian architecture, flower-adorned balconies, and whitewashed houses. Although the town’s origins date back to the Ancient Romans and even the Phoenicians, its present character was largely shaped during the Muslim period of Al-Andalus. One of Mijas’s most remarkable landmarks is the small bullring built on the hilltop, along with the remains of Mijas Castle.
Following our tour, our final stop will be Málaga. During our tour of Málaga, the birthplace of the renowned painter Pablo Picasso, we will see Paseo del Parque (Park Avenue), Plaza de la Merced, the Jewish Quarter, Constitution Square, Larios Street, Puerto Marina (the harbor), La Alcazaba, and Gibralfaro Castle. Following the tour, we will transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Seville-Istanbul
Free time after breakfast. At the time designated by our guide, we will depart for Madrid Airport. We will depart at 17:35 on Turkish Airlines flight TK1300 and arrive at Istanbul Airport at 23:55 local time, marking the end of our tour.
