Ease into the sunny rhythm of Andalusia as you experience southern Spain through its food, history, and everyday life. Spend 5 nights in Fuengirola, enjoying beach walks, coastal cafés, and local boutiques along the Costa del Sol. Step into village life in Ronda and Mijas, wandering whitewashed streets and taking in hilltop views that reveal a slower, deeply rooted way of life. Then shift north for a 2-night stay in Madrid, where grand boulevards, historic neighborhoods, and lively plazas bring Spain’s capital into focus. From sunlit Mediterranean shores to storied city centers, this journey highlights the contrast, continuity, and character of a remarkable region.

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
