Morning sightseeing tour of Madrid. Drive along the Grand Via through the Opera District, Plaza de Colon, and view the Royal Palace.

The tour will end at the Prado Museum, where you will be able to admire works of art by famous artists such as El Greco, Velázquez, and Ribera.
Afternoon free at leisure or you can choose our optional tour (Half Day Escorial Tour). Enjoy a visit to what has often been described as the "eighth wonder of the world." El Escorial is, perhaps, Philip II´s most enduring legacy to Spain. This combination monastery-palace-mausoleum is situated approximately one hour outside of Madrid in the foothills of the Guadarrama Mountains. This austere monastery, erected by King Philip II in 1584, was intended to be a memorial to his father, King Charles V, and to commemorate Spain´s victory at Saint Quentin in 1557. It has since become the burial place of subsequent Spanish kings and queens.

| Day 5: Monday - Cordoba City Tour - (Evening Flamenco Show) |
|

Begin with a guided sightseeing tour of Cordoba, birthplace of philosopher Moshe Ben Maimon. Visit the amazing Mosque of the Caliphs and see the Roman Bridge and a beautifully restored 14th-century synagogue before continuing to Seville.
Afternoon you can choose our optional tour (Evening Flamenco Show).This evening, enjoy a drink and traditional Flamenco show. As performed by some of Seville`s leading Flamenco artists, enjoy routines based on the cante jondo or "deep song," which describes the performer´s profound emotions in ancient poetic phrases. Although the development of Flamenco has centered principally in the region of Andalusia, it has come to embrace many of the folk traditions of the northern provinces. As a result, it has become, along with the bullfight, a popular symbol of Spain.
