We meet up this morning at the coach terminal in Oriente Square in Madrid and set out by 9 a.m., making the most of our time aboard to introduce ourselves to each other and learn more about what lies ahead. Our route takes us into La Mancha, the landscape of romance and adventure where Don Quixote tilted at windmills. We’ll wind across hills and down into irrigated valleys, to Puerto Lápice, a town lost in time, looking much as it did in the seventeenth century. We might even espy the establishment where an innkeeper conferred knighthood upon Don Quixote. Then we’ll pass onward through the region of Valdepeñas, where fine Tempranillo grapes are grown, and cross the Canyon of Despeñaperros, and pass through the town of Bailén on our way to Cordoba. Here we’ll visit the famous Mosque, one of the most notable in the days of Moorish rule. Then we’ll continue onward to Andalusia, where comfortable beds await us in Seville.

DAY 2— SEVILLE (B) - Friday
We’ll stay all day in Seville, where the Moors have left their mark in whitewashed houses, tile roofs, graceful archways, and a warren of intimate lanes with surprises at every turn. Our visit will take us to the monumental and stunning tower of La Giralda, the Cathedral that once echoed with daily calls to prayer, and the Palace of the Alcazar, with its delicately carved stonework and pleasure gardens that still delight. Your afternoon is free to wander the alleyways of Seville on your own, and perhaps to stop in and sample the tapas at an inviting establishment.

DAY 3— SEVILLE, GRANADA (B ) - Saturday
We say adiós to Seville this morning, and embark across Andalusia, the spectacular ridge of the Sierra Nevada forming a backdrop to our journey, coated in snow well into springtime. With all the spectacular vistas along the way, we’ll be in Granada before we know it. We’ll visit the Palace of the Alhambra, which inspired caliphs, conquerors, and writers as noted as Washington Irving, with its magnificent rooms and intricately decorated Moorish archways. We’ll stroll through its fabled Generalife gardens and summer residence of the caliphs, of course, and there will be time to wander and shop on your own before you retire to your lodgings.

DAY 4— GRANADA, TOLEDO, MADRID (B) - Sunday
Our northward route takes us back through central Spain, to the historic city of Toledo, where fine steel making is a tradition and a craft, where Jews and Muslims and Christians all flourished in the Golden Age of Moorish Spain. Notable sights will include the Cathedral, of course, with masterpieces by El Greco; and the Alcázar, a fortress site from Roman times right into this century. Afternoon will see us back aboard the coach, on our way to Madrid and your hotel.
