Packing for southern Spain is the mirror image of packing for the green north — and Palace Tours briefs travellers for both, so believe us: the sun changes everything. Here is the southern list.
Dress for the light
Linen, cotton, pale colours, a proper sun hat and serious sunscreen — Andalusia in travel season is gloriously bright, and the climate guide explains why spring and autumn departures are the sweet spot. A light layer covers cool desert-edged evenings and fiercely air-conditioned salons alike.
Shoes are strategy
Córdoba's lanes, Cáceres' medieval slopes, Mérida's Roman stones — the week is walked on polished cobbles and ancient pavement. Bring cushioned, broken-in shoes; elegance can live in the evening pair.
Evenings aboard
Smart-casual dresses every dinner well; add one genuinely elegant outfit for the gala evening — aboard a train this beautiful, guests enjoy rising to the carriages. Save room: the sherry bodega will tempt you with bottles.
The fine print
European plug adapter, medications in original packaging, modest shoulders-covered options for cathedral visits, and a soft case that stows kindly in your suite. Every remaining question lives in the FAQ — or with a Palace Tours specialist.
