A wildly romantic country that dances to a flamenco beat, Spain retains much of its traditional charm at the same time it embraces the new. As you tour Spain, you’ll find great Gothic cathedrals and Moorish palaces, but also sleek modern architecture and cutting-edge cuisines. Our specialists know Spain well and can provide new perspectives on the country’s highlights, from the cosmopolitan streets of Madrid to the wineries of La Rioja.

We can also plan a Spain holiday that will help you dive deep into the country’s distinct regional cultures. Explore Moorish influences in Andalusia, touring the grandiose confines of the Alhambra. Or, you can discover the breadth of cuisine in the Basque Country, where you can enjoy pintxos (tapas on a skewer) and the gourmet offerings of San Sebastián. And, in Catalonia, you have the art and architecture of Barcelona, where the legacy of avant-garde minds like Gaudí, Picasso and Miró lives on.

Spain in pictures

The Moorish architecture of the Alhambra palace in Andalusia, Gaudí’s Modernist park, townhouses and cathedral in Barcelona, and the vast museum collections of Madrid are among Spain’s headline attractions, but the country offers so much more. Our specialists know just how hard it can be to decide where to go, and they’ll plan your Spain itinerary based on your interests and the places you most want to visit.

It might involve you seeing Spain’s well-known highlights, but also veering from the most trodden routes to discover some of its more hidden places. We’ll help you see the top sights such as Seville’s Real Alcázar and the Córdoba Mezquita in a new light, but also introduce you to the wineries of the Rioja, the cobbled lanes and medieval churches of Girona, and the best pintxos in San Sebastián.
