Spain tours discovery guide

The claps echoing from Andalusian tablaos. The whispering fizz of Asturian cider poured at arm’s length. The flavors dancing in Basque pintxos. From its southern plains to its northern mountains, Spain puts on a show—one best enjoyed in a group.

Seville Spain

What to know before you go

POPULATION
Spain’s 48 million people are spread across 17 autonomous communities. These administrative areas afford a degree of self-governance to the different cultures that compose the nation’s identity—Catalan, Basque, Galician, and more.

CAPITAL
The second-largest city in the European Union, Madrid lies in the very center of Spain. And with a clutch of local institutions, international businesses, and world-famous attractions all based there, you could argue it’s the country’s heart.

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
In Spain, life moves at a different pace: Small shops might close for a couple of hours at lunch—who doesn’t want some rest and a homemade meal?—while dinner isn’t served until 9 p.m. or later. Our advice? Enjoy the lull (and those late-night tapas).

WHAT TO GO FOR
Avid sightseers shouldn’t miss the whimsical colors and contours of Antoni Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces, while gourmands should beeline for the nearest jamoneria. Whatever you like, Spain rewards the adventurous.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Visit Guernica—the town immortalized by Pablo Picasso’s eponymous anti-war painting—sip on sweet and dry sherries in an out-of-the-way tavern, belt out your best “ole!” at a flamenco show in a hillside cave, and more.

BESTSELLER

Grand Tour of Spain

Drink in Spain’s medley of cultures as you take the scenic route from Madrid to Barcelona, detouring south to Andalusia before tracing the Mediterranean coast to Catalonia.

Indulge in a trio of Spanish icons

Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville—three of Spain’s biggest cities, three cradles of regional identity, and three of the most popular destinations on the Iberian Peninsula. From the Sagrada Familia to the Prado to the Royal Alcazar, they house a trove of national treasures. These tours help you explore it all.

Find your Spain

Sun-bleached beaches or verdant mountains? Succulent seafood or hearty stews? Like the ingredients in a good paella, Spain’s regions contribute distinct twists that enhance the country’s makeup. Opt for one of these tours to dive into their unique languages, lifestyles, and cuisines.

Buen provecho!

That’s the Spanish equivalent of “bon appetit,” and on these Food & Wine Tours, you’ll be saying it often. Dig into the country’s cuisine beyond tapas and pintxos—though you’ll enjoy plenty of those, too—and discover a collection of flavors every bit as vibrant as Gaudí’s marvels.
