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.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
