Madrid · Seville · Valencia · Barcelona · 11 nights · 6 adults
The brief
The brief for a group of six adults touring Spain has one central logistics challenge: intercity movement. Most Spain group tours fragment at this point — different buses, different timing, different comfort levels. This plan resolves it with a single private Mercedes V-Class and a dedicated driver for all eleven days, covering every intercity leg and every city tour.
The itinerary adds two things most Spain packages miss: a full-day Toledo excursion from Madrid (a completely different Spain from the capital), and a Córdoba stop on the Madrid-to-Seville drive. These are not detours — they are the reason the drive days earn their place in the plan.
