Seville to Madrid
Seville — Andalusian Grand Departure
Embark in Seville and meet the crew over a welcome reception. A guided tour takes in the Cathedral and the Giralda, the Real Alcázar with its Mudéjar palaces and gardens, the Plaza de España and the lanes of Santa Cruz, before a flamenco-flavoured welcome dinner. Overnight in Seville.
Córdoba — Mosque-Cathedral & Jewish Quarter
A day in Córdoba, once the dazzling capital of Islamic Spain. The great Mezquita-Catedral — a forest of red-and-white arches — stands at its heart, surrounded by the whitewashed Judería, flower-filled patios and the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir.
Jerez & Cádiz — Sherry, Horses & the Atlantic
In Jerez de la Frontera, a performance at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art and a tasting in a historic sherry bodega. The afternoon reaches Cádiz, the oldest city in the Western world, ringed by the Atlantic and crowned by its golden-domed cathedral.
Mérida — Roman Spain
Founded as Emerita Augusta in 25 BC, Mérida holds the finest Roman ruins in Spain — the great theatre and amphitheatre, the forum and the longest Roman bridge in the world — a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble in the heart of Extremadura.
Cáceres — Medieval & Renaissance Heritage
The walled old town of Cáceres is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels unchanged for centuries — a labyrinth of palaces, noble towers and storks' nests in golden stone, with not a single visible cable to break the spell.
Toledo — City of Three Cultures
Toledo rises above a bend of the Tagus, the former capital where Christian, Jewish and Muslim Spain met. Its cathedral, synagogues, mosque and the art of El Greco fill a UNESCO old town that is itself a museum of medieval Spain.
Aranjuez & Madrid — Royal Finale
A final morning at the Royal Palace and gardens of Aranjuez, the spring residence of the Spanish kings, before the train arrives in Madrid and the journey comes to a close.
