About this trip

A week-long self-drive road trip taking you from Madrid down to Seville, tracing the overlapping histories of Roman, Moorish, Christian and Jewish Spain.

You'll move through the old territories of Castile and Al-Andalus, with time built in to explore palaces, churches, synagogues and mosques that mark centuries of shifting rule and faith.

It's a history and culture focused route, with plenty of art and architecture to take in, and the freedom of driving yourself between stops.

What you'll do

  • Self-drive route from Madrid to Seville
  • Explore the former lands of Castile and Al-Andalus
  • Visit grand palaces and historic churches
  • See synagogues and mosques from Spain's medieval past
  • Admire works by major Spanish artists
  • Take in monuments spanning Roman and Moorish eras
Good to know
  • Self-drive format means you set the pace between stops
  • Strong focus on history and museums, best suited to those genuinely interested in the subject
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year, so worth checking opening hours for sites along the way
