Discover Madrid and Barcelona in 6 days

After arriving at Madrid-Barajas Airport, we will be greeted and transferred to our hotel.

We will have the rest of the day to relax and begin enjoying the capital of Spain.

Madrid, lively and awake at all hours, is famous for being an open city where people of all kinds and from anywhere come together.

In addition to its well-known museums, lively avenues with all kinds of shops, world cuisine restaurants, and incomparable nightlife, Madrid surprises with quiet historic corners full of charm for strolls.

There, we will find centuries-old taverns with family traditions where friends gather for a drink, neighborhoods of all styles, and alternative cultural centers away from the more touristy circuits.

At the same time, this city has an authenticity that is hard to match. It is hospitable, diverse, and undoubtedly one of the most interesting in Europe.

Greca Tip: As in any other large city, the center of Madrid offers a diverse variety of gastronomic venues to suit all tastes, where you can taste the traditional local tapas.

In the morning, as soon as you finish breakfast, you will depart towards Aragon, crossing the lands of the Castile region.

Once in Zaragoza, you will make a brief stop to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar. The basilica is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, specifically under the title of Our Lady of Pilar. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to the apostle Saint James the Greater on a pillar (made of jasper) and instructed him to build a church at that location. The basilica was constructed over the centuries and is famous for its unique Baroque architecture.

Afterward, you will continue to the Monastery of Poblet, surrounded by walls in a beautiful location, which is one of the best-preserved medieval monasteries in the world.

Nestled along the shores of the Mediterranean, this vibrant city dazzles with the whimsical modernist creations of Gaudí, the lively Ramblas, and a rich legacy shaped by milestones such as the Universal Exposition and the Olympic Games.

The afternoon will be free for you to continue exploring at your own pace, whether that means wandering through charming neighborhoods, relaxing by the sea, or discovering hidden corners of the city.

In the evening, we will provide a transfer to Maremagnum, a modern complex by the sea near Plaza de Colón, where the energy of Barcelona blends with the Mediterranean breeze. Here, you may take a pleasant stroll through the lively area and choose from a wide selection of dining options to end the day on a perfect note.
