The walking tours of Toledo (day 2) and the Alhambra (day 5) are considered to be more strenuous in nature due to the uneven walkways, number of steps and some uphill walks that are required in order to see the historic sights. Our air passengers will arrive into Madrid and depart from Barcelona. Airport transfers are available for purchase. If Alhambra Palace is unavailable, a similar top attraction will be added.
