This is one of our most popular tours and consistently sells out, and it is easy to see why. Enjoy 7 nights at the 4-star Sol Principe Hotel in Torremolinos, ideally located right on the beachfront with direct access to the beautiful Playamar Beach and just a short distance from the centre of the resort.
The hotel offers comfortable and stylish accommodation, extensive facilities and a wonderful setting overlooking the Mediterranean. Guests can relax and unwind around the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, while the hotel restaurant offers an excellent buffet selection featuring both international and Andalucian cuisine.

Our Taste of Andalucía tour offers the perfect combination of relaxation and discovery. From beautiful coastal towns and historic cities to spectacular mountain scenery and fascinating cultural sights, you will experience a very different side of Spain while still having plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine, beaches and relaxed atmosphere of the Costa del Sol.

Itinerary:

Day 1 - Fly to Malaga

We depart Dublin on our direct scheduled flight to Malaga, Spain. On arrival we are met by our Tour Leader, then you will be transferred by coach to the 4-star Sol Principe Hotel in Torremolinos where we are based for the next 7 nights.

Dinner is included at the hotel each evening.

Day 2 – Nerja & Malaga

After breakfast we depart on an excursion to Nerja. This historical seaside town is overlooked by dramatic mountains. It has several beaches set in charming coves between cliffs and has one of the best climates in Europe. The old quarter of the town is virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums.

Our afternoon stop is in Malaga. Our local tour guide will take us on a short walking tour of the old part of the city with its impressive Cathedral and Moorish fortress.

Day 3 - Day at leisure

Enjoy a day of rest and relaxation in Torremolinos. Over the years, Torremolinos has evolved as an attractive and appealing resort, noted for its clean sandy beaches, wide choice of hotels and restaurants and an unparalleled variety of entertainment, activities, and nightlife. There is also a superb selection of shops with very reasonable prices.

Day 4 - Gibraltar

Today we depart on an excursion to Gibraltar, located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Gibraltar is famous worldwide for its dramatic Rock. It overlooks the Straits of Gibraltar and is linked to Spain by a narrow isthmus. Gibraltar is imposing but small. It measures less than six square kilometres in total. There is also a colony of the famous apes, the only ones in Europe to run free in a semi-wild state. Look forward to some excellent photo opportunities and indulge in some great duty-free shopping.

You will need to bring your passport with you to enter Gibraltar.

Day 5 - Ronda

After breakfast we depart on an excursion to Ronda. Our route through the Sierra Bermeja Mountain range is breathtaking. Ronda is one of the oldest cities of Spain. Its origin, according to archaeological findings in the old city belongs to the Neolithic age. Ronda is probably best known for its impressive 18th century bridge, which spans a 100m deep gorge and divides the old and new part of the town. Ronda is also home to the world’s oldest bullring which dates to 1785. We return to our hotel in the late afternoon.


Day 6 - Day at leisure

Another free day to enjoy the resort of Torremolinos. Go shopping on the pedestrianised Calle San Miguel which is at the heart of the town. This smartly paved street is lined with boutiques and shops with a great variety of goods on offer at very reasonable prices.

Today we travel to the city of Granada, which is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at the confluences of the Darro and Genil rivers. Its unique history has bestowed it with an artistic grandeur embracing Moorish Palaces and Christian Renaissance treasures. As the last Moorish capital on the Iberian Peninsula, it also holds great symbolic value. Granada has its usual quotient of churches, museums etc. typical for a southern European city. Our local tour guide will lead us on a walking tour of the old city. We return to our hotel in the late afternoon.
