Andalusian Adventures: Two Bad Tourists Head to Southern Spain

Few countries rival Spain in versatility. Every region offers something different while still being fueled by that unmistakable Spanish passion we all know and love. For the first time ever, we’re heading south to Andalucía—a region known for flamenco, rolling olive fields, Moorish palaces, mosques that are also cathedrals, and its talent for throwing a great party.

On our 9 Days in Southern Spain gay group trip from November 11–19, 2026, we’ll explore three of its greatest cities. Meet us first in our home base of Madrid, where we’ll spend two nights showing you the city’s highlights, from the Royal Palace to the gayborhood. Then we’ll hop on a high-speed train to Sevilla for four days of flamenco shows, meals at authentic Spanish restaurants, visits to the impressive Cathedral and Alcázar, a sailing trip down the Guadalquivir River, and a night out in the local gay scene.

After a day trip to Córdoba—an architectural gem shaped by the Roman Empire—we’ll arrive in Granada. Tucked into the mountains, this fairytale-like city offers winding cobblestone streets, tapas so big they could be full meals, and the legendary Alhambra Palace, a breathtaking marvel no words can fully capture. So sign yourself up and let us show it —and all of Andalucía— to you in person!

ACT FAST! Book ASAP to guarantee your visit to the Alhambra, one of Spain’s most iconic sites. Tickets will sell out and late bookings won’t be able to join our group visit.
