23–31 January 2027 · Eight Nights
Sixty degrees and sun while the north lies under snow. Seville to begin, a grand villa above the Málaga sea at the heart of it, and Granada aglow to finish.
We keep it to six guests, total. Two nights open the trip in Seville — the Cathedral, the Alcázar, flamenco in Triana on a Saturday night — then we settle for four nights into a grand private villa above the Málaga coast, in Cerrado de Calderón: eight ensuite rooms, a large heated pool, a sauna with the sea in frame, a private chef some evenings, local standouts and a Michelin experience as well.
Your own boutique hotel, a short walk down to Pedregalejo beach. The village a stroll from the villa — mid-Winter's reprieve of sun-drenched warm days with Mediterranean breezes.
January is Andalucía turned luminous — the north under snow, mild sun, empty lanes, the Alhambra calm and enjoyable. Almond country coming into blossom. This is not tourist season; this is the region at its most authentic.
The week ends where Andalucía peaks: two nights in Granada, the Alhambra, the hammam, and flamenco in the Albaicín. Let us show you the way — Gus, our guide, in three languages, all week.
City, then a villa above the sea, then Granada — the days go out, and every one of them comes home to it. Click any day to open it.
Arrive in Seville and step into the old town — a restored 17th-century casa-palacio, steps from the Cathedral. Fly in as early as you can on the 23rd — a short taxi brings you to us — or take the train down from Madrid. A first glass, an early tapas, the sound of the barrio after dark. Arrival day stays light.
Seville on foot — the Cathedral and the Giralda, the Real Alcázar and its Mudéjar courtyards, the orange-tree lanes of Santa Cruz, a long lunch, and Plaza de España in the low winter light. An evening of tapas and flamenco in Triana, the birthplace of the form.
South to the coast and the residence — a grand villa in Cerrado de Calderón, above Málaga, the sea in the distance and the city ten minutes away. Rooms, the first pour, the sauna and the heated pool, and the week's opening table: a private chef, and six travellers settling into what quietly becomes home.
The dramatic day: Ronda straddling its gorge, the Puente Nuevo, the oldest bullring in Spain, the cliff-edge wineries of the Serranía — and the week's one great table, dinner at Bardal, Ronda's celebrated Michelin kitchen.
A morning with an artisan olive-oil producer near Málaga — her mill, the tasting, her studio; late January is the harvest tail, so the stones may still be pressing. Then into Málaga itself: Picasso's birthplace and museum, the cathedral, the Atarazanas market, the port.
East along the coast — Nerja, its famous sea caves and the Balcón de Europa out over the water, then up to Frigiliana, one of Spain's prettiest white villages: cobbled Moorish lanes, hilltop views, a long lunch in the sun. Back to the villa at dusk for espetos — sardines grilled over an open fire on Pedregalejo beach.
The drive to Granada. A private, timed tour of the Alhambra and the Generalife with a historian, while your luggage is spirited to a historic boutique in the Realejo — you finish the palaces as the light goes gold. Then dinner at an Albaicín carmen, looking back across the ravine at the Alhambra you just walked, now lit against the dark. The arrival, bookended.
The Albaicín and Sacromonte by day — white lanes, the miradors, the Alhambra framed across the ravine — then the candlelit Hammam Al Ándalus to melt the miles away. And the finale, on the one night the scene is at its peak: intimate flamenco at Casa Ana in the Albaicín, and a last tapas crawl together.
Farewell from Granada — a flight or the train onward from the city, carrying a week of Andalucía with you: the residence, the almond light, the guitar, the Alhambra glowing at your back. We're glad to help you plan the journey home.
Gus has led our Bordeaux tours for years — wine, history, and the character of places, in three languages. Now he opens Andalucía: fluent, warm, and with you all week.
An artist and artisan olive-oil producer who welcomes small groups to her mill — the tasting, the studio, the stones still pressing in the winter harvest. A morning of real Andalucía.
A grand villa above the sea — eight ensuite rooms, a heated pool, a sauna, and a private chef most evenings. The days go out, and every one of them comes home to this.
The villa gives every solo traveller their own room — and we never charge a single-supplement penalty for arriving on your own. Come as you are; you'll leave among friends.
The tour is designed for a mix — solos and couples, six in all. Tell us who's travelling with you, and we'll be in touch personally with the details.
For those who wish to linger, a self-directed extension that begins after the tour ends — arranged by our concierge, but on your own schedule. West to Jerez, the world capital of sherry, and into the legendary Cádiz Carnival in the days that follow.
The extension is optional and priced separately from the tour. Let us know when you inquire, and we'll arrange the nights, the bodegas, and the transfers.
Your Pas Perdu concierge — the character of a place, the flow of the days, the villa, the Granada finale. Ask him anything about the week. Y sí, también en español.
A curated, six-guest week — by application, not checkout, so we can hold it small and hold it well. Tell us who you are and we'll be in touch.
