1. Spain Tours from Madrid: Day Trips

Alternatively, you could always venture as far as Barcelona or Seville, trips only made possible by the high-speed AVE train.

2. Spain Tours from Madrid: Short Tours of Seville and Cordoba
Seville and Madrid are two of Spain's three most popular destinations (Barcelona being the other) - visiting both on a single trip is a very popular choice.
Cordoba is not far from Seville and is home to the Mezquita, the grand mosque that was once the biggest in the world (and has now been converted into the city's cathedral), so adding this to your trip to Seville is a great way to get more out of your time.
All of these trips take you back to Madrid, some by high-speed AVE train, unless otherwise stated.

Travel from the capital of Spain to the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, on this three-nights-and-four days tour. The best thing about this trip (apart from the sights themselves) is that all of the accommodation is at the same place - in Lisbon.

After leaving Lisbon, you'll make a stop in Caceres before arriving in Seville, where you'll also stay two nights. Then your bus will take you to Ronda on the way to the Costa del Sol. After that, visit Granada and the Alhambra. From Granada you'll travel north to Madrid, stopping in Toledo on the way.

There are plenty of tours from Spain that go on to Morocco, but not so many that leave from Madrid. But if you're traveling around the south of Spain, it makes sense to go on to Morocco as well - there are just 14km between the two countries!
This tour visits all of the important sights of Andalusia, including Cordoba, Seville and Granada, while including five days in Morocco along the way. On the way back to Madrid, the tour stops in Toledo.
