Spain Sightseeing- Places to Visit

We received last week a new issue of a magazine that also advertise travel and trips. It featured an 8-day holiday in Spain with most everything included in it. The cheap flight, 4-star hotel, breakfast, dinner and the tours to the different places especially in the Andalusian region and the tourist guide is also included in the holiday package. It was so far the cheapest vacation package I ever saw in going to Spain.

Here are the places that are included in this holiday package.
