Itinerary Description |
From the sun-kissed beaches of Tenerife to the vibrant streets of Sevilla and the medieval charm of Toledo, Spain offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, culture, and history. Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is a year-round paradise with stunning volcanic landscapes, golden beaches, and a vibrant culinary scene. In Sevilla, the heart of Andalusia, flamenco dancing, Moorish architecture, and lively tapas bars bring Spain’s rich heritage to life, with landmarks like the Seville Cathedral and Alcázar offering unforgettable experiences. Toledo, perched above the Tagus River, is a beautifully preserved medieval city that showcases Spain’s Christian, Muslim, and Jewish heritage through its cobbled streets and architectural gems like the Toledo Cathedral. Together, these destinations offer a diverse and immersive journey through Spain’s past and present. |
