2 Nights – Cordoba
3 Nights – Seville
✈️ UK to Barcelona (3 Nights): On arrival in Spain from the UK, you’ll commence your Spanish adventure in the vibrant city of Barcelona, where you’ll find a lovely blend of beach and city life – plus some incredible architectural marvels. The whole city is full of masterpieces by Antoni Gaudí, including the Sagrada Família, the Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, and the colourful Park Güell. Spend some time unwinding at the beach or, if you’re a football fan, head to Camp Nou, home to FC Barcelona, for a tour of the stadium. The historic Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is a wonderful place to stroll around the medieval streets with its ancient Roman walls. The main street, La Rambla, is lined with street performers, shops, cafes, and La Boqueria market.
🚆 Barcelona to Valencia (3 Nights) From Barcelona you’ll take the scenic train ride to Valencia. Begin your sightseeing with the more historic side of the city by heading to the Valencia Cathedral which houses a chalice that is believed to be the Holy Grail. To explore the modern side of the city, head to the City of Arts and Sciences, which features a planetarium, aquarium, and interactive museum. For some relaxation, the lush greenery of Turia Gardens provides the perfect spot. Or if you’d like to soak up the Mediterranean sun, try the Playa de la Malvarrosa for a bit of beachside R&R before you travel to your next destination.
🚆 Valencia to Madrid (3 Nights): Moving on, you’ll hop on the high-speed train to Madrid. The capital of Spain does not disappoint when it comes to impressive landmarks and buildings. Make sure you visit the opulent Royal Palace, wander through the bustling Plaza Mayor and the iconic Puerta del Sol, the city’s central square. Art lovers will delight in the world-class collections at the Prado Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum, home to masterpieces by Picasso, Goya, and Dalí. Madrid is renowned for being home to two world-class football teams, so take your pick from a tour of Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium or Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. Madrid comes alive at night, whether that be along the lively Gran Vía, or the trendy Malasaña and Chueca areas.
🚆 Madrid to Cordoba (2 Nights): You’ll hop back on the high-speed train to Cordoba, a city where Islamic, Jewish and Christian influences beautifully combine to create a stunning cityscape. Head to the stunning Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage site thought of as one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in Spain. It features a forest of arches and columns and is famous for its stunning prayer niche (mihrab). The winding streets of the Jewish Quarter, with the whitewashed buildings and vibrant bougainvillea are a lovely sight. Plus, don’t miss the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, a medieval fortress-palace with beautiful gardens and panoramic views of the city and the Guadalquivir River. If you’re visiting in May, the Patio Festival allows a rare glimpse into the private residences of Cordoba, where you can view the residents’ beautiful floral displays and water features in their private gardens and courtyards.
🚆 Cordoba to Seville (3 Nights): To conclude your tour of some of Spain’s most iconic cities, you’ll take the high-speed train once again to the city of Seville, home to the world’s largest Gothic cathedral, the Seville Cathedral. Ascend the 35 ramps leading to the top of the Giralda Tower for some spectacular views of the city. The ramps were originally designed to allow horses to carry the muezzin to the top of the tower for the call to prayer. Also make sure you explore the magnificent Alcazar Palace, a masterpiece of Mudejar architecture, and wander through the picturesque Barrio Santa Cruz with its narrow alleys and charming squares. When you’re not exploring the city’s sights, simply enjoy soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of Seville, enjoying an authentic flamenco show, or relaxing at a café watching the world go by.
✈️ Seville to UK: On your final day, you’ll bid farewell to the enchanting cities of Spain and head back on your flight home to the UK.

Leanne was a delight to work with, proactively suggesting options, whilst remembering they had to be practical. What I appreciated most was how responsive and efficient Leanne was. Everything was handled promptly. Even though we haven’t taken the trip yet, I already feel confident that things will run smoothly thanks to the excellent groundwork that Leanne put in place.

I’ve now lost count of the trips I’ve booked with Gavin at e-shores and how he always manages to know exactly what we like and gets a great price - always the same or less than I research myself. Our latest was Greek island hopping to Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini and the hotels Gavin booked were all outstanding and the typically small, boutique hotels with less crowds. We went out of season (1st - 13th Sept) and everything went smoothly from the airport transfers, the welcome we had at each hotel and the beauty of each island having its own magic. Looking forward to the next trip already booked through Gavin in November! Thank you everyone-shores - the Napiers!

Claire Smith offered invaluable support in arranging our travel by air to Portugal pluse trains around the country, offering a choice of three hotels in every stop. She expanded our initial thoughts of Lisbon and Porto to include fantastic destinations that we would not have thought of - Guimaraes, Aveiro and Sintra. And she suggested tours we might enjoy. She listened. She selected hotels on the basis of what we told her we would like, from the feel of them to their location and the facilities they had. She was on the end of the phone when I needed her and made me feel there would be help at the end of the phone in an emergency abroad. We're looking forward to our getaway, secure in the knowledge it has been tailor maide to our requirements.

As always, fantastic service from Rob at eShores. He responded quickly to any requests and provided excellent support throughout the booking process. This is the second trip we’ve booked with him, and we’ve even recommended him to family members who are now also booking their holidays with Rob. Highly recommended

Our travel consultant, whom we have worked with for a few trips now, was given a wide ranging, complex and extensive overseas tour itinerary to quote for my wife and I. Not only did she return the quote within a matter of days but it was an amazing price and the hotels of our choice were mainly booked. The administration backed up the agreed quote with all relevant documents and we paid the deposit. All was done with the utmost efficiency, accuracy and speed. Wiil be back!!
