| Day 6 Granada - Costa del Sol (Hidden Spain Excursion): |

| This morning, a highlight visit to the famed Alhambra; to pass through its gates is to enter an Arabian Night’s dream! A fantasy of “lace in stone,” surrounded by arabesque gardens and fountains, the Alhambra affords superb views of the Old Quarter and Sacromonte, a mountain occupied by Gypsy cave dwellers. Then, we travel south to the vibrant Costa del Sol for a leisurely 3-night stay. On the way, we visit a working rural olive mill.
