Lovers of Gardens and Palaces will find many spectacular sites from the oldest royal residence in Europe – Alcazar in Seville with its rich furnishing and the beautiful gardens (worth a visit by themselves), or the Palacio Real – patterned after Versailles.
In addition to the great sites of Spain, there is the passion of Flamenco, the great art of Spain in the galleries, and the wonderful flavors of Tapas and the Spanish wines.

“Spain is a great off season destination as the temperatures can be milder than other parts of Europe and Spain is a good value for the money. Sites are less crowded and the shopping is great for linens, leather, silver and pottery”, said Jan Baumgartner, CEO, Distinctiveeurotours.com.
These packages are great as pre or post cruise tours as well as offering many sites of Spain in a week for clients with only a week’s vacation. Tours feature 2 -13 days – depending on towns visited and can combine tours from Madrid with tours from Barcelona to cover much of Spain. There is also a five day round trip tour from Madrid to Salamanca and Portugal.
Tours offer weekly departures, many available all year.
