Itinerary

Day One

Arrival in Madrid

Arrival in Madrid On arrival in Madrid, your private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel. After check-in, a welcome gift from our team will be waiting for you. We can suggest a first walk through the Austrias quarter and the historic center, and arrange a lunch or dinner reservation to ease you into the city.

Day Two

Madrid: Art and the Historic Center

Your day in Madrid begins at the Prado Museum. with Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights, a work that still feels mysterious, unsettling, and unresolved five centuries after it was painted. From there, the visit moves through El Greco, Velázquez, and Rubens before the afternoon shifts to the Royal Armory at the Royal Palace, where the armor worn by Carlos V at the Battle of Mühlberg survives as a rare physical link between imperial history and the art that represented it. With your private guide, this version of Madrid is less about orientation than immersion: a city entered through imagination, empire, and the force of its collections.

Later, you explore the Albaicín, the old quarter of Islamic Granada, where narrow streets still follow the pattern of the medieval city. The walk leads to the Mirador de San Nicolás, where the Alhambra rises across the valley.

Stucco decoration, carved wood, tiled surfaces, and water are used here with extraordinary control. The visit continues through the Generalife, long associated with rest, gardens, and cultivated space on the edge of the hill. The afternoon is yours.
