Sample Itinerary
Day 1 – 4
International Arrival
Your English-speaking chauffeur will meet you at the Barcelona airport and accompany you to your hotel in a private vehicle
3 Nights
Barcelona
Barcelona is the global traveler’s dream come true. It is the home of Barça, the wildly popular football club, of Antoni Gaudí, the famous modernist architect, of a young Pablo Picasso, as well as gastronomic feasts featuring Catalan food and wine. Expect to encounter a flamboyant cosmopolitan city with a history encompassing Roman catacombs and magnificent medieval cathedrals to modernist architecture and street art. Barcelona has to be experienced through the senses to be truly appreciated, much like feasting alfresco on rich paella, washed down with cava and wine! Think mile-long pedestrian boulevards, numerous churches, fantastically designed public parks, hilltop fairgrounds, old-world food markets, a sandy beach, modernist murals and numerous tapas bars. Little wonder then that the city is dotted with UNESCO World Heritage sites, many of them landmark designs by Gaudí, such as the Basílica de la Sagrada Família and Park Güell. Don’t pass up on the Museu Picasso or the buzzing nightlife!

2 Nights
Seville
Seville is a city of flamenco music and dance, of medieval Moorish history and architecture, wild parties, grand parades and fiestas. If Spain has ever conjured up images from Carmen, Don Juan and Hemingway’s descriptive prose for you, then Seville is surely the city that brings it all to life! This hot-blooded Andalusian capital is well known around the world for the Alcázar castle with its Islamic influence and the iconic bullfighting ring of Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza. The confluence of Moorish and Roman Catholic heritage at Seville is best represented by the Giralda, a minaret turned bell tower that continues to soar above town. Don’t leave town without a visit to the tomb of the famous Spanish explorer, Christopher Columbus, at the Seville Cathedral with its lovely Gothic architecture. But perhaps the closest route to the heart of Seville is though the annual festivals of Semana Santa and Feria de Abril.

Madrid is an art lover’s paradise, with museums and galleries lined with old masters and contemporary talent. Begin with the famous trio of Museo del Prado, Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza for a taste of Goya and Velázquez, as well as works of Picasso, Dalí and Miró. The landscaped gardens and boulevards lined with baroque mansions are a fitting frame for the lively tapas bars, trendy restaurants and taverns overflowing with good food and wine.

“We used Enchanting Travels to help us plan a big graduation trip for my two sons. There was 6 of us in total and we had the perfect blend of activity/tours/sightseeing as well as free time to explore Spain and Switzerland. We had a perfect trip; all the details were thought of and there were no worries or stress throughout our travels. I would recommend them to anyone looking for help planning a European vacation!”
