We are bound for Andalusia, a splendid region in southern Spain. From snow and slopes to sun and surf, this tour will be an extraordinary discovery at every turn. If you want to tour and explore, this trip is for you. If you want to ski and tour, this trip is for you. Rarely, have we offered a European trip that allows skiers and sightseers to get the best of both.
We fly into Madrid for 2 nights, the capital of Spain and the third largest city in Europe. Madrid has an energy that says: this city really knows how to live. A train then whisks us south to Malaga and transfer by bus to Granada for 5 nights. This is ‘home base’ for everyone, skiers and sightseers. After enjoying Granada, a 2-hour bus transfer takes us to Torremolinos for 4 nights with our hotel on the Mediterranean. Stroll the beach or keep the adventure going with additional tour options. Return home or venture onto Lisbon for 4-nights.
This magical region of Spain offers culture and diversity throughout. Hotels are all 4 Star plus with plenty of ‘wow’ factor. The Gala party at the magnificent Palacio El Capricho includes a mock bull fight (no bulls will be harmed), horse show, flamenco show and unlimited adult beverages!
