Me Day: Madrid
After three days of exploration with your fellow solo-ish travellers, today is yours. Choose to accompany your CEO on a walk to the grand El Retiro Park for a relaxing stroll through its gardens and the chance to rent a row boat, otherwise take the day for yourself to do as you please. Perhaps pay visit one of the many local museums; Museo Reina Sofia or Museo del Prado, or maybe take in a Flamenco Show. Madrid really does have it all and there's no better time than today to set off and discover it for yourself.
Madrid/Granada
Wave a bittersweet goodbye to Madrid this morning as you board another train headed for Granada, with a stop in Córodba.

Afterwards, head back to the city centre and enjoy a free afternoon and evening to explore. Take advantage of the time to wander the whitewashed historic quarter of the Albaicín Neighbourhood, visit the Sacromonte caves in the gypsy quarter, or stay in the city centre to enjoy the trendy tapas bars and lively music scene.
