Advert: Rayburn Tours

New brass band tours to central Spain. A fantastic way to travel with Rayburn Tours.

 

The 'Concert Tours Team' at Rayburn Tours are proud to launch an exciting new destination for brass bands.

New and diverse

The Segovia and Toledo regions of central Spain offer a variety of new and diverse experiences for those involved. Visitors cannot fail to be impressed by Segovia’s Roman aqueduct, its fairytale Alcazar or palace-fortress.

Hidden spots

Yet it’s in Segovia’s hidden spots that its real charm is found, a stay here should not be complete without an evening stroll through the tree lined valley surrounding the city.

Performances can be arranged in a multitude of venues including the Toledo Theatre, or any number of the abundant squares and gardens, where the evening concerts are extremely popularRayburn Tours

Player opportunity

Players have the opportunity to perform in the Plaza Mayor, right next to the San Quirce Royal Academy of History and Art, or in the museum of the Spanish artist Daniel Zuloaga, where the former church is renowned for its excellent acoustics.

Short trip

A short trip will take the players to the city of Toledo, sitting just above the River Tagus (or Tajo). The capital of Spain until Madrid took its place in the mid-16th century, this city is steeped in history and intrigue.

Performances

Performances can be arranged in a multitude of venues including the Toledo Theatre, or any number of the abundant squares and gardens designed for public performances, where the evening concerts are extremely popular.

Great welcome

The Segovia and Toledo tour offers concerts off the beaten tra ck, where you’ll get a great welcome from enthusiastic locals, as well as the opportunity to experience the stunning Spanish surroundings, whilst enjoying the delicious local cuisine.
