This exceptional holiday combines discovering Andalucia's 'must see' sights, with going further afield to find hidden white-washed hamlets and flower filled country paths.
After visiting Ronda's world-famous bullring, and the Grazalema Natural Park, we continue on to Seville with its stunning Alcazar and hidden streets crammed with lively tapas bars. The fabulous cathedrals and palaces of Cordoba provide a pleasing contrast to the verdant valleys of the Sierra del Norte. Then the grand finale of Granada's Alhambra - one of the most famous buildings in the world. Travelling with an experienced Headwater guide in an air conditioned minibus you'll discover the 'best bits' of Andalucia's countryside and enjoy rambles through olive groves and poppy lined gorges.
Where we stay is special too. First stop is Di and Johns 6-room boutique hotel in Cartajima, near Ronda. Our **** residences in Seville near Carmen's bullring, and opposite the arched golden doorways of the Mezquita in Cordoba, are especially enticing. Dinner is included some nights, others you are free to choose from the wonderful array of restaurants each city has to offer. For lunch you can either sample mouth-watering tapas, or together we'll arrange delicious picnics.
NB: Whilst our guides remain at our clients' disposal during the tour, local laws in Spain forbid them to guide groups on art cities historical centres, or in museums or art galleries.
We're probably a little biased, so here's what our customers say...
"Efficient organisation, interesting holidays with good accommodation and helpful representatives."

"Our guide Val Edwards was outstanding. She had an excellent rapport with staff at all venues. She also showed the utmost care but challenged us too, her interpersonal skills are superb."
Mrs Monk, Oxfordshire
