D A Y - B Y - D A Y I T I N E R A R Y Day 1: June 14, Fri, Departure from Orlando

Depart Orlando for our overnight international flight to Madrid, Spain. Meals in

-flight. (D)

Day 2: June 15, Sat, Arrive Madrid

Breakfast will be served in-flight. Upon arrival in Madrid, we will meet our

Tour Escort and motor coach driver for a tour of Madrid including the Royal

Palace and Plaza Mayor before transferring to our hotel. Tonight we will enjoy

a Welcome Dinner with wine included before retiring for the evening.

Overnight in Madrid. (B/D)

Day 3: June 16, Sun, Madrid - Toledo - Madrid

We’ll depart for Toledo which sits on a rocky mound isolated on three sides by

a looping gorge of the Río Tajo. Every available inch of this outcrop has churches, synagogues, mosques and houses heaped upon one another in a

haphazard spiral, with narrow cobbled lanes navigating between interesting

architecture. Toledo is known as the City of the Three Religions or Cultures

because for many centuries the Christians, the Moors, and the Jews lived

together in relative equality and peace. The city surrounded by walls hides

great treasures: it’s awesome Cathedral, the church of Santo Tomé, the

Tránsito Synagogue, Santa María La Blanca Synagogue, the superb church of

San Juan de los Reyes, Puerta de Bisagras, and Puerta del Cambrón, Puerta

del Sol. We return to Madrid for free time and dinner on your own. Overnight Madrid (B).

Day 4: June 17, Mon, Madrid - Segovia - Avila - Salamanca

We’ll depart Madrid in the morning and travel to Segovia, a medieval walled

city bordered by twin rivers and miles of shaded walks including pedestrian

streets. Here we will visit the St. John of the Cross Shrine and Reliquary in the

Convent of Carmelite Friars. Our next stop will be Ávila, a perfectly-preserved

11th Century wall surrounds the city where mystic writer Santa Teresa was

born and whose shrines are a must-see for all Catholic pilgrims! The city

dedicated to Santa Teresa has changed very little since the days of the first woman to be named a Doctor of the Church. Our visit includes La Santa

Monastery, built on the site of the house where she was born and San José

Convent, the first monastery founded by the Saint along with the Cathedral,

San Vicente church, the Incarnation Convent - where St. Teresa became a nun

and home to the most comprehensive museum dedicated to her life. After

walking in the footsteps of St. Teresa, we will continue to Salamanca for

dinner and overnight. (B/D)

Day 5: June 18, Tue, Salamanca - Alba de Tormes - Salamanca We’ll visit the city of Salamanca this morning, one of the most graceful cities

in Spain. For four centuries it was the seat of one of the most prestigious

universities in the world. We will have a chance to see many of the city's

sights including the grand Plaza Mayor, the hub of Salmantine life; the vast

Baroque church of La Clerecía; the Casa de las Conchas (House of Shells),

named after the rows of carved scallop shells symbolic of the pilgrimage to

Santiago which decorate its façade and many of the buildings of the

University; cathedrals; Roman Bridge; San Marcos and San Martin churches.

Afterward, we will depart to the quaint village of Alba de Tormes. Here we will

visit the Carmelite Monastery, where Saint Teresa died in 1582 A.D. and is buried. In the Monastery museum we will view the incorrupt heart and left arm

of St. Teresa. We will return to Salamanca for dinner on your own and

overnight. (B)

Day 6: June 19, Wed, Salamanca - Santiago de Compostela

We’ll depart Salamanca after breakfast for the scenic drive to Santiago de

Compostela. Enroute we will visit a monastery for Mass and enjoy a lunch stop

along the beautiful drive. Arrive in Santiago de Compostela, home of St. James

for dinner and overnight. (B/D)

Day 7: June 20, Thu, Santiago de Compostela

Visit Cathedral of St. James, one of the finest examples of architecture in all of

Europe. As pilgrims, we have the opportunity to climb the stairs behind the

high altar to visit the crypt where the relics of St. James are preserved, touch

the central pillar (Portico de La Gloria), view the 'botafumeiro' and admire the

wealth of medieval art inside the Cathedral, before visiting the cloister

museum. Enjoy a stroll on own though the beautiful streets of Santiago de

Compostela, the city of the apostle, full of historical buildings and other attractions. Dinner on your own. Overnight in Santiago de Compostela. (B)

Day 8: June 21, Fri, Santiago de Compostela - Leon - Burgos

After breakfast we will depart the city of St. James and drive to Burgos.

During our travels today, we will stop in León for lunch and some free time.

This graceful, historic city was once capital of a kingdom, a bastion of Christian

resistance to the Moorish conquest of Spain and Portugal – now a

forward-looking city which has avoided the ravages of modern development.

Unmistakable Spanish with a different feel to anywhere else in the country,

making for a rewarding visit. We will continue to Burgos for dinner and overnight. (B/D)

Day 9: June 22, Sat, Burgos - Santo Domingo de Silos visit - Burgos

Today we will explore the amazing sites of Burgos including the magnificent

limestone Cathedral, the Carthusian Monastery – an amazing example of

Baroque architecture with its Doric arches, ornate sculptures and carvings.

Construction began in 1516 and continued for the next three hundred years

and never completed! The land was confiscated from the monks in 1836 and

the cloister was destroyed in 1842. The monastery community of monks and

laymen lived under a vow of silence, they would spend their days praying,

meditating, studying, working, and doing crafts (the rosary beads that they

used to make from rose petals can be purchased in the shop next door). We’ll

see Santo Domingo de Silos thought to be a universal Romanesque gem, which has become a center of spiritual and artistic pilgrimage. The monastery,

of gothic origin, was razed to the ground by the Arabs, and rebuilt by Santo

Domingo, whose remains lie in a sarcophagus that was carved in the rock. Its

sensational Romanesque cloister, dates from the 11th and 12th centuries, and

has beautiful capitals with sculptures depicting a variety of themes, resting on

double columns. We will see eight remarkable depictions from the life of Jesus

Christ. The monastery managed by Benedictine monks who celebrate

Gregorian Masses, has a rich library and an 18th-century pharmacy, which

holds a collection of Talavera jars & a lab full of antique instruments. We will return to Burgos for you to enjoy dinner on your own. Overnight Burgos. (B)

Day 10: June 23, Sun, Burgos - Zaragoza - Barcelona

After breakfast we will depart towards Zaragoza where we will visit the

magnificent Basilica del Pilar, built in the place where our Lady appeared to

Saint James. Tradition says that in the early day of the Church, Saint James

The Greater was spreading the Gospel in Spain, but making very little

progress. He was dejected and questioning his mission. About 44 AD, the

Virgin Mary, who was still living in Jerusalem at the time, bi-located and

appeared to him in a vision to boost his morale. In it, she was atop a column or pillar, which was being carried by angels. That pillar is believed to be the

same one venerated inside the Basilica. We will also visit the Cathedral of

Zaragoza and we will do a walking tour of the city. Later we will continue our

journey to Barcelona for dinner and overnight. (B/D)

Day 11: June 24, Mon, Barcelona - Montserrat - Barcelona

After breakfast we will enjoy a tour of Barcelona including: panoramic views of

the Harbor area, Montjuic, Plaza de España, and Plaza de Catalunya.

Afterwards, continue on a guided walk through the Gothic Quarter to visit the cathedral and view Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, a beautiful, unfinished Roman

Catholic basilica of impressive proportions. Later, we’ll travel to Montserrat,

home to the dramatically set Benedictine monastery. On a rugged

mountainside we will visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat. Since the 12th

-century, pilgrims have been drawn to the mountain to venerate the

miraculous statue of the Black Madonna. According to Catholic tradition, the

statue of the Black Virgin of Montserrat was carved by St. Luke around 50 AD

and brought to Spain. It was later hidden from the Moors in a cave, where it

was rediscovered by shepherds in 880 AD. They saw a bright light and heard heavenly music that eventually led them to the grotto and the statue. The

Bishop of Manresa was present at the discovery and suggested that it be

moved to Manresa, but the small statue was discovered to be so heavy it could

not be lifted. Thus the Virgin had indicated her will to stay on Montserrat to be

venerated there. In the 11th century, the abbot-bishop Oliba founded a

monastery on the mountain of Montserrat next to one of the chapels where

the Benedictine Abbey is still preserved. Return to Barcelona for dinner on

your own. Overnight Barcelona. (B)

Day 12: June 25, Tue, Barcelona - Day at Leisure A day on your own in this beautiful city for independent activities, shopping, or

optional tours. Farewell dinner this evening. Overnight Barcelona (B/D)

Day 13: June 26, Wed, Barcelona - Orlando

206 TOURS, its agents, and suppliers shall be under no liability to

any such person for refund, compensation, repatriation or any other

matters arising.

RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSE 206 TOURS acts as a tour operator.

The suppliers providing transportation, sightseeing arrangements and

hotel accommodations for the tour program are independent

contractors and are not agents or employees of 206 TOURS. All

coupons, receipts and tickets issued are subject to the terms and

conditions specified by suppliers. By utilizing the service of the

suppliers, you agree that 206 TOURS will not be liable for any

change in flight or itinerary schedule, strikes, delay, acts of

governments, fires, riots, theft, pilferage, epidemics, quarantine,

medical or customs regulations, accident, loss, injury, or damage to

concerned are to be held responsible for the late arrival of passengers

at airports or resorts due to inclement weather, nor are they to be held

liable for payment or any refund for transfers or unused hotel

accommodations or meals occasioned by such late arrivals at the

hotels holding rooms as confirmed itineraries. Passengers must bear

all such losses or expenses. To guard against unforeseen health or

other circumstances, we recommend you purchase our optional

TRAVEL INSURANCE. 206 TOURS is not responsible for

circumstances beyond its control. In circumstances where trip

cancellations resulting from the inability for trip to depart as

scheduled, such as cancellations due to acts of war and/or terrorism,

war, God, or nature takes place, 206 TOURS is not liable for

restitution. Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it

should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a

contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays,

national days, traffic conditions and other events may necessitate

changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We

will have mass and strive to be in places as indicated. However,

sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for

Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an

alternative site for Mass will be arranged.

include some walking tours, with occasionally un-even terrain or up

and down hills. You may certainly stay behind for certain parts of the

journey, however, no refunds for unused portions will be made. 206
