This morning we say adios to Catalonia and head through the picturesque Spanish coast to the birthplace of paella, Valencia. We arrive in this gem later this afternoon and after check-in the day is yours to explore Valencia at your leisure.

Alternatively, there is always the welcoming sand of the beach for those who would like to while away the hours in the sun and surf. Whatever your plans, we know you’ll have a blast in this seaside paradise.

We have the morning left in Valencia, so head out and tick those last few sights off the list. This afternoon we board the coach and make our way to the economic hub of Spain, and her capital, the bustling metropolis of Madrid.

We highly recommend you sign up for tonight's extravagant optional extra, the mesmerising song and dance of an authentic Flamenco show.
