Come explore Spain, the land of the conquistadors, a treasure chest of arts and culture pulsing with the rhythm of flamenco and crowned by the artistic legacies of Goya, Velazquez, Picasso, El Greco and Dali. A nation that left its cultural imprint on New Orleans' food, architecture, and personality. Join fellow WTC members and their families for an attractively-priced group package to Spain offering a specially-tailored itinerary for WTC members.

Then we're on to Seville by high speed train via Cordoba where you will visit the famous Mezquita. Our home in Seville will be the five-star Hotel Alphonso XIII where we will be staying three nights. A fine blend of Spanish and Moorish architecture, the Alphonso XIII has long been one of Spain's most famous hotels. Highlights in Seville will include the Reales Alcazares and Giralda.
