Itinerary:
Saturday and Sunday:
Begin in Madrid, where the evening comes alive in a swirl of chatter and clinking glasses. Wander through La Latina and Malasaña, stopping at historic taverns for vermut de grifo (vermouth on tap), drizzled olives, and classic tortilla española. Pair smoky jamón ibérico with a local Rioja, and linger over conversation as the city hums around you. Don’t miss Mercado de San Miguel for a whirlwind introduction to Spain’s tapas artistry.
Monday:
Today we journeyby train south to Córdoba, a city of whitewashed patios and Moorish arches. Here, the flavors slow down — salmorejo (a rich tomato purée) and berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey) perfectly complement a glass of crisp Montilla-Moriles wine, the region’s elegant answer to sherry. As dusk falls, sip vermouth in the old Jewish Quarter, surrounded by the whispers of centuries.
Tuesday:
This morning we will take the train to Seville, the rhythm of life matches the tap of a dancer’s heel. This is the home of indulgent tapas: espinacas con garbanzos (spinach with chickpeas), solomillo al whisky, and boquerones en vinagre. Pair them with a chilled manzanilla sherry or a local rebujito as the sun dips behind the Giralda. Seville’s rooftop bars and tucked-away bodegas are perfect for an evening vermouth, best enjoyed as guitars strum in the background.
Wednesday:
Today we drive to Jerez de la Frontera A pilgrimage for wine lovers, Jerez is where Spain’s noble sherries are born. Visit centuries-old bodegas to explore the solera system and taste the full spectrum — from bone-dry fino to luscious Pedro Ximénez. Between sips, graze on tapas de mariscos and jamón serrano, and discover how perfectly sherry complements Andalusian cuisine. As locals say, “El vino de Jerez no se bebe, se vive” — Sherry isn’t drunk, it’s lived.
Thursday:
Continue to Málaga, a coastal gem that fuses beach life with deep culinary tradition. Sample its namesake vino dulce (sweet wine) in the old taverns around Calle Granada, where barrels line the walls and tapas arrive endlessly — pulpo a la gallega, albondigas, and grilled sardines fresh from the sea. Sip vermouth overlooking the Mediterranean, where the afternoon light feels like a toast to joy itself.
Friday:
Granada, a city where every drink comes with a complimentary tapa — a tradition that turns each glass into a small feast. Wander the Albaicín’s cobbled lanes and pause for local vino tinto or vermut casero paired with dishes like croquetas, patatas a lo pobre, and pisto. The Alhambra glows above as you linger into the night, the flavors and melodies of Spain still dancing on your tongue.
Saturday:
Today we will take the train back to Madrid for one last night before we depart for home.
Sunday:
Depart for home.
