Solo Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Granada & Seville

Why This Trip Stands Out
This 9-day Spain trip is built specifically for solo travelers and connects four of the country’s most wanted cities without relying on a rental car. Rail does much of the heavy lifting, while the small-group format gives you people to travel with and enough structure to make the route easy.
- Travel from Barcelona to Madrid, Granada and Seville.
- Use rail as a major part of the route.
- Visit the Alhambra in Granada.
- Join a trip designed for solo travelers rather than paying to fit into a couples-focused itinerary.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–2 | Barcelona
Meet your group in Barcelona and begin with time to experience the city’s neighborhoods, food and architecture before heading inland.
Days 3–4 | Madrid & Córdoba
Continue by rail toward Madrid, then travel south through Andalusia with cultural stops and local experiences along the way.
Days 5–6 | Granada
Spend time in Granada and visit the Alhambra, one of Spain’s defining historic sites, with free time to explore the city at your own pace.
Days 7–9 | Seville
Finish in Seville with Andalusian culture, food and time to enjoy the city before the trip ends.
