What more can I say?  :lol:

13th October  Elche – City of Palms €15

Elche is famous for the Palmeral of Elche an orchard of over 200,000 palm trees that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. It is also famous for being the shoe capital of Spain with over 1000 factories.

We combine history, gardens and shoes on this trip.

We arrive in Elche in time for a coffee and orientation with a visit to the tourist office. At 11am we have booked a 45 minute tour through the historic quarter with its Muslim past and Baroque splendour on the tourist train after which you can choose what you want to visit. The choice is endless as is your choice for lunch.

Elche is a breathtakingly beautiful green city full of museums, sculptures, parks and gardens.

After lunch we will head for a factory tour and free glass of wine in one of Elche´s largest shoe manufacturers with a chance to bag a bargain.

23 to 28 October  Castile – Land of Castles

Based in Madrid for five nights, after a day exploring the city by coach and foot we head out daily to explore the surrounding historic cities of Segovia, Toledo, and the Valle de los Caídos, burial place of General Franco. We have a day free and then on our last day we visit the Royal Palaces and gardens of Aranjuez en-route to Almanzora.
