Madrid:  Saturday, May 25–Tuesday, May 28. Madrid, Spain, strikes a balance between constant, almost chaotic motion and uncompromising leisure. Madrilenos, as Madrid’s residents are called, seem to always be on the go, except when they’re taking long breaks to eat, drink and enjoy life. The competing urges to move or sit for hours are cleverly reconciled in the Madrid institution known as ir de tapas, which entails leisurely hopping from one tapas bar to the next.

As a visitor to Madrid, you’ll invariably be drawn into the city’s stream of movement as you rush to see one more art collection, taste Castilian, Basque or Galician dishes at neighborhood restaurants, or buy tickets for an evening performance. But take a cue from Madrilenos and incorporate some quiet time into your hectic schedule: People-watch at a terrace cafe, study the mystical quality in El Greco’s paintings, savor the subtle hint of saffron in a dish, and appreciate the mournful beauty of flamenco. Take a deep breath, then move on to the next stop.

Seville:  Tuesday, May 28–Thursday, May 30. Exploring the labyrinthine old city of Seville, Spain, might give you a clue as to how Sevillanos in the 1500s developed the skills to become masters of global navigation. Even with today’s GPS apps, finding your way through the maze of narrow winding streets can pose a challenge. But you’ll know it’s worth the effort when you glimpse a plant-filled patio with a trickling fountain or stumble upon a lovely plaza alive with people enjoying drinks and tapas.

Seville offers plenty to see and do. First, there are the adapted Moorish gems and the Gothic and baroque trophies erected during the centuries when the city was a dominant commercial hub. Then there are the sights maintained from the two international fairs hosted in the 20th century when Seville reclaimed its place on the world stage. And if you’re lucky enough to witness a Semana Santa procession, or see Sevillanos decked out in their flamenco finery at the Feria de Abril, or catch a whiff of orange blossoms and jasmine, then you’ll truly understand what it means to be in the capital of Andalusia.

Marbella:  Thursday, May 30–Sunday, June 2. Marbella is the premier resort town on the Costa del Sol, and perhaps in all of Spain. The exclusive prime real estate of the Golden Mile, the fashionable Puerto Banus marina and the sprawling developments of condos and golf courses in the Nueva Andalucia area are the basis for its bling-bling brand. The special Marbella way of life includes trendy beach clubs with champagne-spraying partiers, liquid nitrogen cocktails at upscale bars, Michelin-starred cuisine and a 24-hour golf club. Yet in the midst of all the glitz is the Old Town—the original Marbella—a quaint, laid-back and whitewashed Andalusian village where you can enjoy simple pleasures such as the scent of orange blossoms or the taste of fresh-grilled sardines at a beachside bar.

Granada:  Sunday, June 2–Tuesday, June 4. The biggest attraction is no doubt the Alhambra, which consistently draws more visitors than any other sight in Spain. Because Muslim rule lasted the longest in Granada—roughly 250 years longer than in Cordoba and Seville—the city has the widest-ranging inventory of medieval Moorish structures on the Iberian Peninsula. Likewise, the Christian conquest in 1492 sparked a building boom as the new monarchs put their stamp on the city. As impressive as its monuments are, modern-day Granada in no way languishes in the past. In restaurant terraces and tapas bars, fun-loving Granadinos mingle with a steady stream of tourists from all over the world and a local and international student population of 60,000. Traveling less than an hour in any direction will take you to lovely mountain or coastal scenery where, depending on the season, you can ski, snowboard, hike, cycle, kayak or swim. 

Hotel Palacio De Santa Paula Autograph Collection – Deluxe King Room. Breakfast included. The Palacio de Santa Paula Autograph Collection is located in the historic center of Granada near the Albaicín and Sacro Monte areas, the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel, the historical Gardens of the Triumph, the Archeological museum, and, of course, the Alhambra.

It replaced the Santa Paula Convent and the Casa Morisca, which existed in the XVI and XII centuries respectively. Guest benefits also include complimentary Wi-Fi daily, early check-in/late check-out, based on availability, VIP status granted.
