A Taste of Spain & Croatia

3 Nights – Seville
2 Nights – Granada
3 Nights – Barcelona
3 Nights – Dubrovnik
3 Nights – Split

✈️ UK – Seville (3 nights): With a direct flight and transfer to the hotel of your choice, you’ll jet off to Seville, where soaring Gothic cathedrals give Baroque grandeur to winding medieval streets. Andalusia’s capital blends Moorish minarets with the Renaissance flair of the Palacio de Las Dueñas, and the sound of stamping Flamenco feet is never far away. From the Real Alcázar’s palace complex to the futuristic Metropol Parasol, Seville’s landmarks blend old and new in one word: exquisite.

🚆 Seville – Granada (2 nights): The train ride from Seville to Granada takes in humbling mountains, hilltop villages and endless fields of sunflowers. What you do with your 2-night Granada stay is entirely up to you. Andalusian castles, cathedrals, monasteries and gardens form an endless array of fountain-flanked fortresses, while casual cafés soak in the Spanish sun. From the Alhambra’s serene courtyards and the Royal Chapel’s alabaster tombs to the al fresco restaurants overlooking the city, Granada is a melting pot of history, culture and beauty.

✈️ Granada – Barcelona (3 nights): Next, you’ll fly direct from Granada to Barcelona, Spain’s most cosmopolitan city. Barcelona blends Gothic and Modernist architecture like nowhere else on earth, and that’s before you reach the city’s lively waterfront. The Catalonian capital thrives on a mellow rhythm of tapas tasting, urban beaches and magnificent basilicas, while Gaudí’s curved Casa Milà and Casa Batlló facades add a surreal twist. Wander down Las Ramblas’ tree-lined boulevard, browse under La Boqueria’s glass roof, and finish with seafood paella at one of the city’s buzzing squares.

✈️ Barcelona – Dubrovnik (3 nights): Leaving Spain behind, you’ll fly direct to Croatia’s ancient walled city of Dubrovnik. Dazzling against deep-blue waters, the “Pearl of the Adriatic” is effortlessly elegant yet wonderfully unpretentious. The Old Town’s limestone walkways lead to treasures such as the Sponza and Rector’s Palaces, where galleried archways date back to the 15th century. For breathtaking views over terracotta rooftops, take the cable car up Mount Srđ. A walk along the city walls (just 1.2 miles long) reveals a thousand photo opportunities. Whether you visit during the lively Summer Festival or in quieter months, Dubrovnik’s seafood and charm never disappoint.

🚢 Dubrovnik – Split (2 nights): Optional road or air transfers are available, but the most scenic way to reach Split is by ferry. North of Dubrovnik, Split is Croatia’s second largest city and one of its most atmospheric. As Croatian designers fill boutiques and terraces, the 4th-century Diocletian’s Palace rubs shoulders with lively cafés and bars. Stroll the palm-lined Riva promenade, visit the Meštrović Gallery’s sculpture gardens, or relax on Bačvice Beach with the locals. The Dalmatian spirit is strong here, so expect evening dancers, generous platters of cheese and olives, and plenty of the region’s fine wine. As with all five stops on this itinerary, we’ll recommend hotels to suit your preferences as part of your bespoke planning service.

✈️ Split – UK: On your departure day, we’ll meet you at your hotel and transfer you to the airport for your direct flight back to the UK.
