Spain Itinerary

Day 1: Malaga & Nerja

Arrive in Spain and begin our journey with a tour of Malaga's Castillo de Gibralfaro; drive down the coast to Nerja; enjoy a low-key evening at Bar El Pulguilla with the local football fans. Emily was one of only 3 women in the place...and one was a waitress!

Day 2: Nerja

Mostly R&R at the Parador by the pool and on the beach; evening in Nerja, enjoying tapas around the town.

Day 3: Granada & Monachil

The Alhambra by Day; Granada by Night

Day 4: Monachil & Sierra Nevada

A day of hiking in the Sierra Nevadas (Summit the 2nd highest peak in Spain) sandwiched by breakfast and dinner at the B&B

Day 5: Baeza, Ubeda, La Mancha, & Toledo

Long day of driving with a few key stops: Baeza for Tapas (YUM!) and sights; Ubeda for siesta and sights; La Mancha for the windmills (no Don Quixote); and Toledo as our final destination. PHEW!

Day 6: Toledo

Morning jog around the walled city followed by sightseeing and more tapas

Day 7: Toledo & Madrid & London

The local market in Toledo followed by a rainy, cold day in Madrid -- perfect for the Prado! Then it was back to London, where we arrived to snow!!!
