The political, cultural and historic heart of Spain, the Castille region surrounds the capital and includes some of the country’s most fascinating small towns and cities – from Segovia with its striking cliff-top castle and monumental Roman aqueduct, to the golden-hued university city of Salamanca. Spend a week exploring the region by car – the roads here are immaculate and easy to drive – beginning in Madrid where you can enjoy world-class art and authentic tapas bars. Ask about extending your stay to include the historic capital Toledo, or the walled-city of Avila.
● Old Master paintings at the Prado Museum in Madrid
● Delicious tapas in Madrid’s Mercado San Miguel
● Segovia’s imposing Roman aqueduct, over 800 metres in length and one of the best preserved examples in the world
● The honey-coloured architecture of Salamanca, including its two vast cathedrals and historic university
...when you travel with Kirker
Arranged by us exclusively for our customers...
All Kirker holidays to Madrid include a Paseo del Arte pass which allows fast-track entrance to the city’s three major museums: the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofia.
Located at the top of the Gran Via, the Emperador is a short walk from Plaza Mayor, Puerto del Sol and Madrid’s main shopping streets. The outstanding feature is the 10th floor roof terrace which has a large swimming pool and snack bar (open May to September) and wonderful views of the city’s skyline including landmarks such as the Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral.
Located just outside the historic city of Segovia, this purpose-built Parador is an imposing brick edifice, but its exterior aesthetics belie the fabulous views over the World Heritage landmarks of the city below.
Near the walls of the citadel, close to the cathedral and the Plaza Mayor, the delightful Rector fits perfectly into its historic surroundings. Behind a beautiful golden stone façade, you’ll find a stylish and charming, privately-owned hotel with just 13 bedrooms; this is one of the best small properties in Spain.
