Barcelona, una de las ciudades de mayor impacto visual de Europa, combina a la perfección la intimidad y el estilo medieval de su barrio gótico con la elegancia y distinción de los amplios bulevares del modernista Eixample. Allí vivió el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, que diseñó la Catedral de la Sagrada Familia, el Parque Güell y Casa Milà, sus ejemplos más profundos de modernismo. Conozca las magníficas obras del Museo Picasso y la Fundación Miró o descubra el apasionado ambiente de Barcelona en un espectáculo de flamenco.

OVERLAND - SPAIN'S INCREDIBLE INTERIOR - 2024 CODE: BCNL34
Follow a circuitous route through central Spain to explore cities and UNESCO World Heritage sites not readily reachable from the coast, including Madrid, Toledo and Cordoba’s Great Mosque.
DAY 1 - 2 de mayo de 2024
After disembarking the ship in Barcelona, you will meet the tour guide that will accompany you throughout this overland program. A short transfer will bring you to the Sants train station, where you will board the AVE high-speed train for a picturesque, 3.5-hour journey to Madrid. A box lunch will be provided, and cafeteria service is available on the train.
Upon arriving in the capital, you will settle in for a panoramic drive down streets such as Gran Via, which is lined with early 20th-century architecture. Other sights may include the Parliament House and Puerta del Sol, Madrid’s historical and geographical heart.
The walking portion of the tour will begin with a stroll through Plaza de España, where you will view the Don Quixote monument. Check-in at the Meliá Madrid Princesa hotel and time to relax follows, after which you will travel to a nearby venue for a tapas dinner and passionate flamenco performance.
The remainder of the evening will be spent at your leisure at the hotel.
DAY 2 - 3 de mayo de 2024
After breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will travel to Toledo, a city so architecturally rich that Spain has declared it a national monument. While walking through Toledo, the guide will point out the various styles of architecture, including Arabian, Jewish, Mudéjar, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. You will have the opportunity to explore the interior of the synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca. Constructed in 1180 in the Mudéjar style, it features 32 pilasters and five naves.
Toledo was the capital of Spain from the Gothic epoch until 1560 and much of the architecture from that time has been beautifully preserved. The streets are so atmospheric that it is easy to imagine what it was like there in the Middle Ages.
Continuing on, you will drive to Cordoba, stopping for lunch along the way. Once in town, you will begin a panoramic drive of Cordoba that passes the Roman bridge, the royal palaces and the Calahorra Tower. Following check in at the NH Califa Hotel, you will have time to relax before dinner at a nearby restaurant.
You will then overnight at the Soho Boutique Cordoba.
DAY 3 - 4 de mayo de 2024
After breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will tour more of Cordoba, a UNESCO World Heritage site hailed for its extraordinary architecture. Highlights include browsing the magnificent Great Mosque, which is now the Catholic cathedral, and strolling through the former Jewish Quarter.
You will then drive to the small town of Montilla and visit Bodega Perez Barquero, wine makers since 1905, and learn about the history of three brothers who founded the winery more than a century ago. You will be shown how their local wines are produced and of course enjoy samples with some snacks.
Following lunch at a nearby restaurant, you will continue on to Ronda, a dramatically picturesque city perched atop two sheer cliffs that form the El Tajo canyon. Over time, the Guadalevín River carved the deep, incredibly photogenic canyon out of the rock. Many of the buildings were constructed right on the edges of the cliffs, and three ancient stone bridges provide the only means to travel from one side of the city to the other.
Follow a guide through Ronda on an eye-opening walking tour. The Plaza de Toros may be the highlight as it was completed in 1785, making it the oldest bullring in Spain. Bullfighting aficionados such as Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles have watched some of Spain’s most legendary toreadors fight there, and original paintings by Malaga-born Picasso adorn the interior walls.
The Church of Santa Maria la Mayor is another landmark, and to see it you will cross over El Tajo canyon. The earthquake of 1580 destroyed much of the first church built on the site, and the renovated version that stands today features a beautiful blend of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements.
After checking into the hotel in Ronda, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.
DAY 4 - 05 may 2024
Following breakfast at the hotel and check-out and enjoy the drive to Malaga.
Upon arrival, guests participating in the World Cruise Event will transfer to the event. The remainder of the group will enjoy a panoramic tour of Malaga before re-joining the ship.
