Journey highlights
The moments that make this journey unforgettable — the signature experiences we have woven through every day, so the best of the destination is never left to chance.
- Two nights each in Madrid, Ibiza and Barcelona.
- An island stay built into a mainland city holiday.
- A panoramic Madrid bus tour across historic and modern routes.
- A free day on Ibiza with the old walled town above the harbour.
- A hop-on hop-off day to cover Barcelona at your own pace.
Day-by-day itinerary
You are met at Madrid airport by a representative and driven to your hotel in a private vehicle. Madrid sits high and dry on the plateau and its evenings run late, so there is no rush on the first night. The rest of the day is free. · Madrid
A panoramic bus tour of Madrid across two routes. The first covers historic Madrid — the Paseo del Prado, the Habsburg royal legacy, the Royal Palace and the Temple of Debod. The second covers the modern city, from Atocha station to Nuevos Ministerios and across to the Puerta de Alcalá and the Puerta del Sol. · Madrid
You are transferred to Madrid airport for the flight out to Ibiza, and met on arrival at Ibiza airport. Airfare on the domestic sector is not included. Check-in is from around three in the afternoon, so plan the morning accordingly. The rest of the day is free. · Ibiza
No touring is scheduled and the day is yours. The old walled town above the harbour holds the cathedral and the castle and the Almudaina, and the rest of the island is small enough to cross without difficulty. Local sightseeing can be arranged if you would rather have the day organised. · Ibiza
You are transferred to Ibiza airport for the flight to Barcelona, and met on arrival at Barcelona airport. Airfare on the domestic sector is not included. Check-in follows standard hotel times and the rest of the day is free. · Barcelona
A hop-on hop-off day in Barcelona. The Gothic quarter and the waterfront sit a long way from the Modernista buildings uptown, so a route you can leave and rejoin at will is the practical way to cover the city in a day. The rest of the day is free. · Barcelona
Breakfast at the hotel, then check out and a private transfer from your hotel to Barcelona airport for your onward flight. Allow the check-in time your airline requires.
