Escorial Tour
Escorial Tour Day #3 01 Apr 2008 - 31 Dec 2008     $58
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.

Enjoy an afternoon tour that includes a visit to the Portuguese Queluz Palace en route to Sintra. Queluz Palace, often compared to Versailles Palace, is highlighted by the Throne & Music Rooms as well as the beautifully designed gardens. Because of the town's Romantic architecture, Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On arrival, enjoy free time in the Village Historical Center and visit the famous Royal Palace, an 18th-century royal residence, built in the Rococo style.
Evening Flamenco Show
Evening Flamenco Show Day #7 01 Apr 2008 - 31 Dec 2008     $48
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.
Half Day Mijas & Dinner
Half Day Mijas & Dinner Day #10 01 Apr 2008 - 31 Dec 2008     $80
This afternoon, enjoy an excursion to Mijas, a beautiful village with narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed homes, offering a spectacular view of the Mediterranean from its natural balcony. It is also famous for its donkey taxis, local crafts of linen and wicker, and a small chapel built into the rocks. After enjoying time in the town, relax during dinner on the Mediterranean.
