What to expect
Seven consecutive days moving between cities by coach, with early departures likely. You'll spend one or two nights in each location, leaving mornings free for breakfast before heading to the next stop. Most major attractions are exterior views or quick passes rather than deep dives—you'll see the Alhambra's grounds and La Sagrada Familia from outside, for instance. The pace suits sightseers who enjoy checking key landmarks without lengthy museum time. Lunches and dinners are your own responsibility; your guide can point you toward restaurants. Evening time is typically free. Early afternoon visits (like the Alhambra at 4–5pm) mean flexible morning schedules.
