Historical Silver Route Tour $ 1,395
Experience very different aspects of history, from Emperor Carlos V, Conquistadores, Roman Empire, and the Renaissance period. Step back in time and live in history.
Day 1: Madrid-Jarandilla de la Vera. (2.5 hour drive) Arrive to Madrid airport and pick up your rental car. Drive westward toward Jarandilla de la Vera in Extremadura, Spain. Nestled in the majestic valleys, you will find the medieval castle built by the Counts of Oropesa and the Marquis of Jarandilla, and host to the Emperor Carlos V on several occasions. As many of Spain’s towns, history dates back to thousands of years ago, into prehistoric times, with remains of Celtiberian settlements, later the Moors who named the place Xarandilla. Day 2: Jarandilla. Breakfast. Day at leisure to explore the area or rest in a place fit for a king. We suggest Plasencia or the Monastery of Yuste, where Emperor Carlos V spent his last years. Day 3: Jarandilla-Trujillo. Breakfast (1.5 hour drive). Continue to our next stop, Trujillo, known as the home to the conquistadores. Famous names such as Pizzara, Orellana, Garcia de Paredes are associated to Trujillo and the name can be found throughout South America in Venezuela, Peru, Puerto Rico, Chile and Columbia. The parador was a convent of Santa Clara, dating back to the 16th century. Day 4: Trujillo. Breakfast. Day at leisure to explore the area, perhaps Caceres less than an hour drive, or Guadalupe, both cities proud to offer their own Paradores for a gastronomical lunch or relaxing coffee. Day 5: Trujillo-Merida. Breakfast. (1 hour drive) Merida offers one of Spain’s best examples of the Roman Empire, Hispania. Emerita, as it was once called, was so important that a road was built to join the seas to the north and south, Via de la Plata (silver route). Visit the Roman Theater (still used today) and wonderful modern day museums. Due to its long history, the Parador has a long history, being used for example as a hospital, asylum and even prison. What would these walls, courtyards and passages say if they could talk? Day 6: Merida. Breakfast. Continue to explore the city from where Hispania was once controlled, or perhaps add an optional extension to Lisbon, only a 3 hour drive away. Day 7: Merida-Sevilla. Breakfast. (2 hour drive) On to Seville, for yet another glimpse of Spain’s history. On the way stop in Zafra, one of the first cities to be lost by the Muslims in 1229. Upon arrival to Seville, return rental car as Seville is best explored by foot. Day 8: Seville. Breakfast. Cruise down the Guadalquivir. Afternoon at leisure. Day 9: Seville. Breakfast and transfer to the airport or train station.
