After breakfast at our hotel, our guided morning sightseeing tour will first take us along some of Madrid’s beautiful main avenues and boulevards to see many of the city’s most important landmarks and its monumental fountains (including the Cibeles and Neptuno) as well as the always busy main square, La Plaza Mayor, which was built during the Habsburg Period. Next, we will travel to the Old Town to visit one of the world’s great museums, The Prado, which houses one of the best collections of classical painters anywhere! In the afternoon, visit the Royal Palace. (B,D).
July 28: Madrid/Toledo/Madrid
After breakfast, we will head south to the Central Plain of Spain to visit Toledo, the provincial capital and royal residence during the Middle Ages. During this period, Muslims, Jews, and Christians peacefully lived and flourished here in this great cultural and architectural center. As our tour winds its way through Toledo’s narrow streets, the history and romance of this city is palpable. Our guided tour includes many of the city’s great monuments, including the Spanish-Gothic La Catedral, the Church of Santo Tome (to see El Greco’s most renowned work, “The Burial of Count Orgaz”), and the Sinagoga de Santa Maria La Blanca (Spain’s oldest synagogue). Return to our hotel in Madrid and overnight at the hotel. (B)

Our tour includes the Basilica de San Vincente, the Real Monasterio de Santo Tomas, and the Convento de Santa Teresa, where we can view relics of the saint, including her preserved finger. Then, we will enjoy a walk along the walls surrounding the city of Ávila, known as Las Murallas de Ávlia. We will also have some free time in Ávila prior to traveling to our hotel in Salamanca. (B)
