Portugal & Spain: Paradores & Pousadas

P FROMFORTMYERS/CHICAGO

SPAIN & PORTUGAL: Paradores & Pousadas - September 1630, 2013

DAY 1 - Monday, Sept. 16: Depart the U.S. for Lisbon This evening youll depart for Europe, with a connecting flight to Lisbon. DAY 2 - Tuesday, Sept. 17: Arrive Lisbon You arrive in Lisbon today and transfer directly to your hotel to rest and relax, or perhaps to begin exploring the city on your own. Tonight meet your Odysseys Unlimited Tour Director and fellow travelers for a short briefing on the journey ahead and dinner together at your hotel. Accommodations: Hotel Tivoli Lisboa; Meals: Dinner DAY 3 - Wednesday, Sept. 18: Lisbon/Queluz This mornings city tour includes a visit to the majestic Mosterio des Jeronimos, a monastery built to house some of Portugals treasures from the discoveries of Vasco de Gama and other explorers. And we see the nearby Tower of Belem, a symbol of Lisbon and the most photographed monument in Portugal. We also stop by the inspiring Monument to the Discoveries, commemorating Portugals seafaring and literary heritage. Then we head outside the city to tour the lovely National Palace at Queluz, the former summer home constructed between 1658 and 1758 that ultimately became the residence of Portuguese royalty. Dinner tonight is on your own; later you might wish to venture out to a local club to hear Portugals traditional, haunting Fado music. Accommodations: Hotel Tivoli

Lisboa; Meals: Breakfast DAY 4 - Thursday, Sept. 19: Lisbon/Evora We leave Lisbon for Portugals Alentejo, a region of olive groves, vineyards, and wheat fields alive with colorful flowers. We stop for lunch along the way at a local restaurant in Monsaraz, a fortified hilltop town with just 150 residents. Con-tinuing on our journey, we reach Evora late this afternoon. Here we stay at the lovely Pousada dos Loios, a restored convent considered the finest pousada in Portugal (despite its small guest rooms), where we dine together tonight. Ac-commodations: Pousada dos Loios; Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAY 5 - Friday, Sept. 20 : Evora This mornings walking tour introduces us to enchanting Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the architectural gems of Portu-gal. The tour includes a Ro-man ruin; the Cathedral of Evora, built in the late 12th century; Giraldo Square, one of Evoras primary town cen-ters; and the Church of St. Francis, home of the Chapel

of Bones. An ancient walled town, Evora evokes living memories of both the Ro-man and Moorish periods of Portuguese history, with many streets so narrow they must be navigated on foot. This afternoon youre free to visit the tiny shops and cafs that line the streets of Evora, and bask in the splendid scenery that sur-rounds you. Dinner this evening is at our pousada. Accommodations: Pousada dos Loios; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

DAY 6 - Saturday, Sept. 21: Evora/Merida/Carmona We have a full day of travel ahead as we leave Evora for Spain. Along the way, we stop in the ancient city of Merida, once the capital of Lusitania (Latin for the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal), and a town that contains more Roman ruins than any other in Spain. Youll have time here to explore the ruins of the old Roman Thea-ter, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy lunch on your own before we continue on to Carmona and our parador, a former 14th-century Arab fortress. We dine there together this evening. Accommo-dations: Parador de Carmona; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner DAY 7 - Sunday, Sept. 22: Carmona/Seville Today we travel to Seville, perhaps the greatest city of the Spanish south and home of Carmen, Don Juan, and Figaro. One of the earliest Moor-ish conquests in 712, Seville has a number of excellent examples of Moorish art and architec-ture. Our morning tour here passes by the 16th-century Cathedral, the 3rd largest Gothic church in the world; and visits the Alcazar, the palace noted for its signature mudejar (Moorish) architecture. Then we enjoy free time on our own for lunch and independent exploration before we head back to Carmona and our parador late this afternoon. Dinner tonight is at the parador. Accommodations: Parador de Carmona; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner Day 8 - Monday, Sept. 23: Carmona/Cordoba Todays excursion is to Cordoba, capital of both Roman and Moorish Spain, and home to some of the countrys most important monu-ments. Our walking tour here takes in many of the highlights, including the atmospheric Old Quarter with its narrow winding streets, whitewashed houses, and revered Mezquita mosque. With more than 500 columns and graceful arches, the Mezquita incorporates Byzantine, Oriental, Hispano-Romanic, and Visigothic elements into its architecture. A center of culture and learning in the Middle Ages, Cordoba later became known as a city of both ancient and modern traditions. Following our tour we have free time for lunch and to explore on our own. We return to our parador late this afternoon and dine there tonight. Accommodations: Parador de Car-mona; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

DAY 9 - Tuesday, Sept. 24: Carmona/Ronda We travel south today to the charming, un-spoiled town of Ronda, located in a dramatic natural setting. Ronda is built atop the isolated perimeter of a high sierra at the edge of a dra-matic gorge, with tall white-washed houses forming a majestic skyline. But perhaps the most wonderful sight of all is the view from our parador, Rondas restored medieval city hall, at the edge of El Tajo Gorge, more than 500 feet deep and 300 feet wide. This afternoon is at leisure to rest and relax or explore as you wish; tonight we enjoy dinner together at our parador. Accommodations: Parador de Ronda; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner DAY 10 - Wednesday, Sept. 25: Ronda This morning we set out to explore on a walking tour of Ronda, taking in the graceful cathedral of Santa Maria Mayor in the towns Old Quarter;

two 17th-century bridges; and the Casa de Mondragon, once home to Moorish kings. This afternoon is at leisure to relax and enjoy this delightful town on your own. Dinner tonight is at our parador. Accommodations: Parador de Ronda; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

SPAIN & PORTUGAL: Paradores & Pousadas - September 1630, 2013

DAY 11 - Thursday, Sept. 26: Ronda/Granada/Ubeda Leaving Ronda, we travel to Granada to experience per-haps the most extraordinary and best-preserved Moorish monument in existence: the Alhambra, the grand palace-fortress of Spains last Moorish rulers. In addition to its exquisite architecture, the Alhambra enjoys a unique set-ting high on a hill with magnificent vistas at every turn. Upon arrival in Granada theres time for lunch on your own before we begin our tour of the Alhambra. We arrive early this evening at our parador in Ubeda and dine there tonight. Please note: In addition to your one piece of checked luggage, you also will need to bring along a smaller, soft-sided carry-on or duffel bag for your over-night stay at Parador de Ubeda. Accommodations: Par-ador de Ubeda; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner DAY 12 - Friday, Sept. 27: Ubeda/Toledo/Madrid

We leave Ubeda this morning for Toledo, capital of medieval Spain. Home of the renowned artist El Greco (The Greek) who immor-talized the city in many of his medieval paintings, Toledo has changed little in looks since the Middle Ages. Declared a Spanish Na-tional Landmark, the city is filled with testaments to its Roman and Moorish heritage, and boasts some of the greatest architecture in Spain. After lunch on your own here, we visit Toledos most impressive monument: the Gothic Cathedral, which was constructed over a period of more than 250 years, from 1226 to 1493. We also call on the Sinagoga del Trnsito which was erected in 1357 with imported cedars from Lebanon, just as Solomon requested when constructing the First Temple in Jerusalem. Our tour of Toledo con-cludes with a stop at Santo Tom, home of El Grecos most famous painting The Burial of Count Orgaz. Leaving Toledo, we contin-ue on to Madrid, arriving late afternoon. After checking in at our hotel, youre free for dinner on your own. And remember, Spaniards dine quite late, especially in Madrid. Accommodations: Hotel Wellington; Meals: Breakfast DAY 13 - Saturday, Sept. 28: Madrid Both historic and cosmopolitan, Madrid boasts an eclectic architecture to match. This mornings pano-ramic city tour includes Plaza Mayor, the grand square in the heart of the city; and majestic Palacio Real (Royal Palace), a 2,800-room rococo residence that was home to the Bourbon kings from Charles III in 1759 to Alfonso XIII, whose abdication in 1931 pre-ceded the rise of Francisco Franco. Today the palace is used only for state occasions. Among the attrac-tions here: the oddly decorated private apartments, two-ton crystal chandelier, 140-seat banquet hall, and grand throne room. Our tour concludes at the Prado, one of the worlds greatest museums of fine art, where youre free to explore on your own. Besides housing the most important collection of Spanish masters anywhere, the Prado also boasts a superb collection of works by Italian and Flemish masters. The remainder of the after-noon and evening is at leisure. Accommodations: Wellington Hotel; Meals: Breakfast DAY 14 - Sunday, Sept. 29: Madrid Today is free to enjoy Madrid as you wish. Stroll along the citys broad boulevards; see Picasso's famed painting Guernica at the Reina Sofia Museum; poke around the weekly El Rastro Market; visit the renowned Thyssen-Borneisza museum; or enjoy traditional Spanish tapas (appetizers) at a local restaurant. Tonight we gather for a festive farewell dinner. Accommodations: Wellington Hotel; Meals: Breakfast, Dinner DAY 15 - Monday, Sept. 30: Madrid/Return to U.S. This morning, youll depart Madrid for your connecting flight to the United States.
