After breakfast, our tour begins with Girona, the pearl of Northern Catalonia, built at the confluence of the Onyar, Galligants, and Geltrú rivers. The region is historically very rich, having survived dozens of invasions and reigns since the Iberians. All structures are built of stone and have been well preserved until today, fully reflecting the spirit of the past. With its museums, churches, cobblestone narrow streets, and medieval walls, it is a favorite among tourists. Among the sights to see are the Lion Statue, Cathedral Square, and the Jewish Quarter. After the tour, we set off towards the city of Figueras. Its importance lies in the fact that the surrealist artist Salvador Dali was born here in 1904. Dali established a museum in this place where he was born to leave a mark and exhibit his works. Today, this museum holds the largest collection of Dali’s works, and since he designed every corner of it, it is known as Dali’s greatest masterpiece. Inside the museum, there are over 4,000 works created by Dali using different techniques. Afterwards, we begin the A to Z Barcelona tour; El Born and Gothic Quarter. Accompanied by our guide, we will embark on a walking tour in the Gothic Quarter, traveling through the beauties of historic Barcelona dating back 2,000 years.

After the city tour, we proceed with the Alhambra Palace Tour. Granada was a Muslim city in the Middle Ages, and this city was protected by a magnificent fortress known as Alhambra, the subject of fairy tales, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alhambra Palace dominated the skies of Granada due to its location and 37 towers accompanying its high walls. Construction took more than 150 years. However, what makes the Alhambra Palace the most visited place in Spain is more than just being a well-protected military shelter. It is a palace where pleasure and enjoyment were enjoyed in its elegant courtyards, deadly intrigues occurred, and it is also the largest and most beautiful example of Islamic architecture in the West. Known by the inscriptions "There is no victor but Allah" carved thousands of times on all its walls, the enchanting palace seems to have come out of the 1001 Nights tales. The Alhambra was lost to Queen Isabel unexpectedly and without warning by Sultan 12. Muhammad (Boabdil). In the same year, it was declared the royal capital of the Spanish Kingdom, and royal decisions launching Christopher Columbus's voyage were made here. All the stories of the palace known today were compiled by the famous writer Washington Irving under the title "Tales of the Alhambra." During our Alhambra Palace tour, we will visit the Gardens of the Wise (Cennet-ül Arif), Summer Palace, the famous Emperor Charles V's Palace, Alcazaba Fortress, and depending on availability, the Nasrid Palaces. Unforgettable memories, stories, and photos await you on this fairy-tale-like and enchanting journey. After our tour, we transfer to our hotel. For guests who wish, we will also conduct the Sacromonte Gypsy Quarter and Albaicin tour (60 EUR). During this tour, after strolling through Albaicin, the former Muslim quarter listed in the Spanish cultural heritage list and under protection, we watch the Gypsy show and their lifestyle while enjoying a drink in caves entirely made by hand.

On the last day of the trip, after breakfast, we complete check-out procedures and depart for Toledo. Undoubtedly, Toledo, the capital of the Castile-La Mancha region located 70 km southwest of Madrid, is one of the most important cities in Spanish history. With its image carrying traces of all civilizations that have come to Spain, it offers unforgettable memories to its visitors. Surrounded by the Tagus River, built on protected steep rocks, and encircled by high walls, the city has always been a valuable city throughout history, from Romans to Visigoths, from Andalusia to the Spanish Kingdom. Also, Toledo was the center of Judaism on the Iberian Peninsula until the late 15th century; it houses many important structures ranging from Europe's oldest surviving synagogue, dozens of churches converted from mosques, to the magnificent cathedral where Spain was religiously governed, and is like a mosaic where three monotheistic religions and peoples intermingled. Until the Empire moved its capital to Madrid in 1561, the city of Toledo was the political, cultural, commercial, and military center; it also served as the inspiration source for Cervantes' immortal work "Don Quixote of La Mancha," and a large part of the story takes place in this city and its surroundings. For all these reasons, Toledo has secured its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Among the places we will see during our tour are; the famous viewpoint where you can photograph the magnificent view of the city remaining from the 16th century like a painting, San Martin Bridge, San Juan Monastery, Jewish Quarter, Santo Tome Church, Santa Maria Cathedral Square, the shopping street where you can find everything unique to the city, and the city's central Zocodover Square. During the free time after the tour, you can taste Mazapan, almond paste unique to Toledo, and try Manchego, matured sheep cheese recognized worldwide by Spain and named after this region. As a souvenir, you can examine swords, knives, or accessories made with traditional methods, produced in the place where the most famous steel of the Middle Ages was manufactured and even used in Hollywood movies. Additionally, you can purchase telkari products, a legacy from the Andalusian period of the city, known as Damascening (Damasquinado), decorated with beautiful motifs with gold wires in different settings. After the free time ends, we return to Madrid. After our tour, our transfer to Madrid Airport takes place at the time specified by the tour leader.
