A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
Due to coach access restrictions in some cities or special events taking place in destinations included in your itinerary, at times your hotel may be located outside of a city center more remotely. Some hotels may not have on-site dining, so be prepared to walk, take a taxi, or order in to the hotel sometimes.
Our Tour Staff’s Recommendation
Take the time to learn about important historic moments that have shaped southern Spain. The Reconquista, which ended in 1492 with the fall of Granada, marked the end of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula and the beginning of a unified Christian Spain. The influence of Moorish rule is still evident in the region’s architecture, cuisine, and culture. For a comprehensive and engaging read on the subject of the Reconquista, our tour staff recommends, “The Reconquest of Spain” by Derek W. Lomax. This book provides an in-depth look at the historical, cultural, and military aspects of the Reconquista.
