Itinerary
We meet at the airport at 1pm for our direct flight departing at 3.30pm and arriving in Málaga Airport at 6.30pm. On arrival we will make our way to our 4-star Hotel in Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol for check-in.
After breakfast, we will start our first optional full-day excursion to Córdoba, a city of history and arts. We visit the famous Mesquita, Cordoba’s Cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of our Lady and former Islamic Mosque, supported by 850 columns, and walk to the antique Jewish quarters, a labyrinth of narrow winding streets of great charm and beauty. Free time is given to explore the traditional piazzas, the roman temples, and monuments.
Today’s full-day optional excursion takes us to Seville, the capital of Andalucía, where we start our day with a city tour of this important historical city. We walk to the city centre towards the Cathedral, which is the third largest in the Catholic world, we can also see the Giralda, the Alcazar Palace, the Tower of Gold and a view of the river Guadalquivir. After some free time, we then proceed to the famous Plaza d’Espagna and the beautiful Maria Luisa gardens.
We board our coach and head off on our optional full-day excursion taking us to Granada, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. We start our tour by visiting the Capilla Royal, the gothic Granada Cathedral and later explore the maze of ancient narrow streets in the city centre, full of fascinating curiosities, local crafts, and delicacies. Later we visit the famous Alhambra built on the top of a hill. The palace complexes and Generalife Gardens, beside the Albaicin, have been declared World Heritage Sites. We visit the incredible Alhambra complex, hills, village, the old Alcazaba and The Generalife Gardens, the summer residence of the Nazari Monarchs, along with the Palace of Carlos V.
We have a free morning to enjoy Torremolinos. After lunch at the hotel (we will have lunch instead of dinner at the hotel), we will go for an optional half-day excursion to Málaga. We discover the city center walking through the piazzas and beautiful streets decorated for the Holy Week activities followed by a visit to the imposing Málaga Cathedral where we attend the last part of the Good Friday service. We later join the thousands of people that throng the squares and streets of Málaga for the traditional Good Friday processions. An amazing experience! Later we return late to our hotel.
Our full-day optional excursion today takes us to the Rock of Gibraltar, which is a duty-free British territory. This is a great opportunity for one to do some shopping in the Main Street. In the afternoon one may visit the spectacular St Michael’s Caves, Europa Point, and the famous Barbary Apes (entrance & transport extra).
Will start today’s full-day optional excursion driving by the old romantic road to Ronda, perched on high mountains. We have time to visit Plaza de Toros, the 18th century bullring, and its bullfighting museum (extra), home of some of the most famous matadors in history. We then join the locals for the Easter procession with the statue of the Risen Christ and the statue of Our Lady carried shoulder high by young women. Later we explore this picturesque town steeped in history. One can attend the Easter Sunday mass celebration in Ronda’s cathedral adorned with the Good Friday antique statues.
After breakfast we checkout of our rooms and start our last full-day optional excursion heading first to Mijas, a village with pure Andalucian charm and character with its whitewashed houses, cobbled street, old wine taverns and typical boutiques filled with pottery and artistic leather objects d’arte. Later we head towards the picturesque town of Marbella, renowned as a playground for the rich and famous. Late afternoon we will make our way to Málaga Airport for our direct flight departing at 7.15 pm and arriving in Malta at 10pm.
