Itinerary

Spanish Paradors are hotels managed by the government and are unique in that they are restored castles, monasteries, fortresses, palaces, and manor houses. Most of these paradors are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and are famed for their beautiful architecture. At GT Holidays, we promise a once-in-a-lifetime odyssey. Here’s what the Spanish Paradors tour package itinerary includes:

Upon your arrival at the Madrid Airport, we’ll drive you to Toledo in a private car. Toledo is renowned for its magnificent cathedrals and monasteries and is even nicknamed The Glass City thanks to its long history of glassmaking. You’ll stay at one of the best paradors in Toleda and explore the places close to your hotel.

Day 2 is dedicated to exploring Toledo, including its medieval castles and fortresses. Some famous places include the Jewish Quarter of Toledo, the stunning Catedral Primada de Toledo, Alcazar de Toledo, and the Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes. The synagogues in Toledo include El Transito and Santa Maria la Blanca.

Depart for Granada on the third day and stop at Jaen for a bit, which is famous for its historical heritage. Jaen is also called the World Capital of Olive Oil and its Renaissance architecture. You’ll stay at one of Granada’s famous paradors.

On day 4, we’ll be exploring Granada and its multiple attractions. Some places we’ll cover in this city include - Generalife, the summer palace of the Nasrid rulers, and Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its Islam-inspired Moorish architecture.
