An expert local guide introduces you to the landmarks of a city that has served as Spain's capital since 1561, when Habsburg Philip II named it as his royal headquarters. Until then, it was a relatively unknown village. Next, visit the extravagant Palacio Real (Royal Palace), built for Bourbon King Philip V to replace the burned Alcázar. Walk through the 2,800 room palace and marvel at the sheer opulence.

Make a full day excursion to ancient Toledo, one of the oldest towns in all of Spain. Visit the town's Gothic cathedral, the Church of Santo Tomé and St. Mary's Synagogue. You'll also visit a damascene workshop.

Opt to journey to Salamanca, haven for Spanish scholars. View the local architecture and see the Casa de las Conchas, adorned with scallop shells. Also, visit the 13th century university. Later, witness the rhythms of Spanish dance at an optional Flamenco Evening.
