Madrid

You are met by your Guardian Angel and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel. The balance of the day is at leisure.

Your local guide takes you to the Prado Museum to view works by Spain’s three great masters: Goya, Velázquez and El Greco. Continue to the Royal Palace, whose rooms are filled with art treasures. Aficionados of chocolate should consider stopping for a cup of dark hot chocolate and churros (long, thin doughnuts), perfect for dunking.

Head out with your guide to Toledo, an ancient fortified city. Inhabited successively by the Romans, Visigoths and Arabs, Toledo was conquered by the kings of Castile in 1085. Later, Christians, Muslims and Jews lived here in harmony. Visit the Cathedral, and stroll through winding cobbled streets, stopping at the Church of Santo Tomé, which houses El Greco’s famous The Burial of Count Orgaz. Continue your exploration at the city’s oldest and largest synagogue, the 12th-century Santa Maria la Blanca.

Privately transfer to the airport.
