Notes
Inaugurated in 1910, this is the capital's most prestigious hotel, offering a combination of luxury and modern comforts. The rugs, carpets and wall-hangings were produced in the Royal Carpet Factory. The bathrooms are all furnished in marble, the starched linen sheets are hand-finished, and the furniture is stylish and antique. The location is unbeatable - close to Retiro Park, the Prado Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. It has been a favorite with high-society and the diplomatic corps since it's opening. The excellent restaurant offers a special dish of the day and you can eat on the garden-terrace in summer.

City
Arcos De La Frontera, Spain
Thu Dec 27 10:00am - Thu Dec 27 2:30pm
Notes
One of Andalucia's most dramatically positioned pueblos blancos (white villages), Arcos balances atop a rocky limestone ridge, its whitewashed houses and stone castle walls stopping abruptly as a sheer cliff face plunges down to the fertile valley of the river Guadalete below.

Declared a national historic-artistic monument in 1962 in recognition of its exceptional architecture and impressive location, the old town is a tangled labyrinth of cobbled streets that lead up to a sandstone castle, the Castillo de los Arcos. As you’d expect from such a spectacular vantage point, there are exhilarating views over the town and the rolling plain below.
