Luxury small group tours of Andalusia discovering places less travelled. Beautiful white villages, delicious tapas and incredible experiences ☀️

If you are looking for a small group tour in Spain or an inspiring Artists’ Retreat that combines memorable excursions, rejuvenating walks in National parks, colourful culture, food and wine then our Andalucia tours are a perfect fit. We take a maximum of 8 persons on our tours in Andalucia. Whether it is finding that unforgettable tapas bar or a unique experience you'll be in safe hands as our priority is making your tour exciting and memorable. We ensure there is a happy balance between time spent with the group and for you to explore on your own.

We prefer to stay away from the coast and take you inland to experience the heartbeat of Spain. Visiting the magnificent Alhambra in Granada and the Mesquita in Cordoba are two of many inspiring highlights. The sheer enjoyment of wandering through the Pueblos Blancos is a delight for the senses. We understand the pressures of travel and work which is why we meet you on arrival and take care of everything for you during your Andalucia tour so all you need to do is relax- and enjoy the holiday of a lifetime.

Amazing places we visit

Our excursions take us to some of Andalucia’s most beautiful Pueblos Blancos. A walk through the tranquil white villages of the Alpujarras gives you the feeling that time here stands still. The fascinating troglodyte town of Guadix, with its cute chimneys and colourful houses, is so delightful it takes you back to your childhood and is reminiscent of something out of Dr Seuss.


 

Great places to eat

The region of Andalucia is renowned for its fresh produce. Your tour in Andalucia includes visiting some of the best tapas bars and restaurants where you can try delicious delicacies like Jamon Serrano, Rabo del toro, Boquerones and Salmorjeco. We visit fabulous Bodegas to enjoy a glass or two of fino, accompanied by the best Spanish olives and manchego. During your tour in Andalucia, you can choose to either share meals together as a group or discover delightful tapas bars and restaurants on your own.

We provide you with an insider's guide to the best places to eat during your Andalucia tour.


 

Cultural experiences to remember

The beautiful palaces and gardens of the Alhambra complex are a cultural experience you will never forget.  Strolling through the tranquil gardens is a mesmerizing experience and a delight for the senses. There is nothing quite like an early morning visit to the Mesquita in Cordoba with its vast never-ending columns and serene atmosphere. For music lovers, a performance of flamenco and equestrian art will leave you with lasting memories of the passion and warmth of Spain.  


 

Beautiful places we stay

The luxurious hotels, villas and apartments we choose for your accommodation during the tours in Spain are generously equipped with double or twin rooms and bathrooms and include breakfast.  We believe a good night's sleep is essential. It’s a pleasure to return to a restful and quiet haven of luxury at the end of each day’s excursion.


Memorable and exciting Spanish travel experiences. 

We know Spain's hidden treasures and invite you to discover her beautiful white villages with us, taste delicious tapas, meet wonderful people, and enjoy a truly memorable adventure. There are two wonderful tours in Andalucia to look forward to that take place between May- June and September-October.


We are holding a fabulous Artists in the Alhambra retreat in Granada in June 2024. This is a wonderful way to recharge your creative energy, providing an opportunity to paint on location in the gardens surrounding the Alhambra, including day trips to some of the beautiful Pueblos Blancos nearby.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to treasure forever
