Spain Tour: Costa Del Sol to Madrid via Granada and Toledo Online Reservations On this two day excursion from Costa del Sol, you will pass through Granada and Toledo on your way to Madrid, stopping at the World Heritage site of Alhambra and Generalife Gardens. Departing from Costa del Sol you will travel to the foot of Sierra Nevada, between the Darro and Genil rivers, where you will find Granada. The last city reconquered in 1492, Granada has a distinctly Arab influence with the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Alhambra and Generalife Gardens amongst the highlights. Toledo is a city that once visited, never ceases to rest in the imagination. The fortified medieval city built on a hill overlooking the Tagus River, is without a doubt one of the densest monumental cities in the world. It also lies claim to being the hometown of Spanish artist El Greco and houses many of his famous works. |
