Day 1 Istanbul – Madrid
Meeting with our valued guests in front of the Turkish Airlines counter at the International Departures Terminal of Istanbul Airport at 05:30. After baggage and ticket procedures, we will fly to Madrid on Turkish Airlines scheduled flight TK1857 at 07:55. Arrival at 10:25 local time. Upon arrival, we begin a panoramic city tour starting at Plaza Mayor, the large square. This square features 136 buildings with 437 balconies opening into courtyards. Historically, bullfights and people burned by the Inquisition were watched from these balconies. The heart of the city, Puerta Del Sol, the large square known as Plaza Mayor, Plaza De Orient where the Royal Palace addresses the public, the Alcala Gate built as an entrance gate to show how rich the city is, Gran Via with its impressive galleryed roofs, Plaza Colon, Cibeles Square and Fountain, and the Cervantes Monument are among the places to be visited. After our tour, we arrive and check in at our hotel in Madrid. Guests who wish to spend the evening in a lively atmosphere can join the extra dinner-included Flamenco Night (75 Euro). Overnight at our hotel.
Day 2 Madrid
Breakfast at the hotel followed by free time. Guests wishing to do so can join the extra Toledo Tour (75 Euro). Toledo is a real open-air museum and one of the most important cities on UNESCO's World Heritage List, being the former capital of Spain. The country's most majestic cathedral has become comparable to the world's few museums by hosting works of world-famous painters. Known as the city of El Greco, Toledo has managed to remain unchanged from the 16th century to the present day. Buildings carrying traces of Roman, Visigothic, Arab, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture, narrow streets, El Greco's paintings, typical bakeries, Damascino shops, and of course the famous cathedral make it a tourist crossroads. Another tradition in Toledo is the production of almond paste dating back to when the Arabs conquered the city. A visit to Toledo is not considered complete without tasting this mouth-watering sweet. After our walk through the Jewish quarter, we head back to Madrid for free time. For interested guests, there is also the Las Rozas Outlet Tour (30 €).
Day 3 Madrid – Barcelona
Breakfast at the hotel followed by departure to Barcelona via our private bus. Along the way, guests wishing to do so can join the extra Zaragoza Tour (30 Euro) organized by our guide. Among the places to be visited on our tour are the Ebro River, Pilar Cathedral which is the city's central cathedral, La Seo Cathedral, San Pablo Church, Plaza Espana, and Pilar Bridge. Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain and capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, home to the magnificent works of the famous architect Antoni Gaudi, attracts four times its population in tourists due to its heritage. During our panoramic city tour, "The Unfinished Church" also known as La Sagrada Familia, Spain and Catalunya Square, Gaudi's Houses (Casa Batllo and Casa Mila), Catalunya Square, La Rambla Street, and Port Olimpic are among the places to be visited. After the city tour, transfer to your hotel. Overnight at our hotel. For interested guests, an evening Gothic Quarter and Tapas Tour (60€).
Day 4 Barcelona
After breakfast, guests wishing to do so can join the extra Girona & Figueres Tour (75 Euro) organized by our guide. Our tour begins with Girona, the richest city in the region, built on the banks of the Onyar River and reminiscent of Florence at first glance. Girona, a charming medieval city worth seeing with its narrow streets and cathedral, is also the city where the movie "Perfume" was filmed. During our panoramic tour, we will see the Lion Statue, Cathedral Square, houses with mezuzahs, the Jewish Quarter, Rambla, and famous shops. After free time, we set off towards the city of Figueres accompanied by views of the Pyrenees mountains. The town has such an impressive atmosphere that it has been a lifelong source of inspiration for the boundary-defying painter Salvador Dali, whom the whole world admires. Here, we will visit the museum house decorated by hand by the famous surrealist painter "Salvador Dali". In this museum, where each work is valued at millions of dollars, we will visit the museum containing his immortal love Gala and his mind-bending works before transferring to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
Day 5 Barcelona – Istanbul
After breakfast, transfer to Barcelona Airport depending on the flight schedule. Guests wishing to do so can join the extra Sitges Tour (40 Euro) organized by our guide. Sitges town is located 35 km southwest of Barcelona. It is a place with the spirit of a typical Mediterranean town and one of the emerging resorts in recent years with its perfect location between mountains and sea. Our tour begins with the magical stairs of San Bartolome-Santa Tecla Cathedral, and we will lose ourselves in its historic streets. Built upon the remains of old Romanesque and Gothic churches, this cathedral dates back to the 17th century. After admiring this magnificent cathedral, our next journey takes us through the historic streets of Sitges, where the Maricel Palace and Museum, rare examples of Modernism remaining from the medieval city center, are a veritable paradise for collectors. The place we stop right opposite is the Cau Ferrat Museum, the home of Santiago Rusiñol, one of the leaders of the modernist movement in the Catalonia region. He played the biggest role in making the town so well-known by starting to exhibit his paintings here in Sitges. After seeing the colorful houses and cute bars in the narrow streets where the Sitges Festival, attracting thousands of people every year for horror and fantasy film categories, is celebrated, we proceed towards the beach to spend the rest of our day having fun like the locals. Afterwards, transfer to the airport. After completing baggage and check-in procedures, we depart for Istanbul on Turkish Airlines scheduled flight TK1856 at 18:25. Arrival in Istanbul at 23:55 local time and end of our tour.
