Spain is home to some of the world's most vibrant and beloved cities rich in the arts and outdoors, fascinating culture, and incredible food. You can explore for yourself by foot or book a private tour with a local who will take you off the beaten path and into some of the most amazing experiences this diverse country has to offer.
Food & Drinks
Join a local food expert for a day of restaurant hopping in Barcelona, a city known worldwide for its exquisite local food and drink! Travel off the tourist's path to discover the markets, cafes, restaurants, and high-end bars adored by the locals. Live the word-of-mouth experience without trial and error! As you move from one destination to another by foot, get to know Barcelona from a local's perspective as your guide highlights the detailed local features often missed by tourists.
If you're less interested in Spain's world-famous Tapa scene and more interested in the roots that brought us masterpieces like Sangrias, check out Spain's million-plus acres dedicated solely to vineyards! Grapes are grown throughout Spain, but La Rioja in the north is often considered the best region for wine.
Nightlife & Beaches
Explore the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastline or island-hop some of the world's most infamous sandy beaches! Visit Ibiza for the unforgettable vibrant nightlife, or travel to the nearby islands of Mallorca and Menorca for a more resort-focused, family-oriented experience. Spain's beaches are great for sunbathing, but don't forget to check out the endless opportunities for sports like snorkeling, diving, surfing, sailing, water skiing, and windsurfing!
World-class Museums & Awe-Inspiring Architecture
If history is more your thing, you'll likely want to explore beyond the culture-rich cuisine and beach life. And you're lucky because Spain's museums and architecture are unlike anything else. Learn about Spain's artistic visionaries, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso, at the Dali Museum-Theater in Figueres, Catalonia, and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Madrid also has an incredible museum scene, known for its Gold Triangle of Art. It consists of three fascinating museums in the city's center: the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.
You can enjoy a variety of architectural styles and buildings from different periods across the country with factual commentary from knowledgeable locals. Some of the country's most famous buildings and structures include Barcelona's Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo, by the infamous Modernist Antoni Gaudi, Gothic and Baroque-style cathedrals in cities like Seville and Grenada, and Spain's most-visited structure, the sprawling fortress of Alhambra.
Vibrant Fiestas
One of the most compelling reasons to visit Spain might be the fiestas within each region (often referred to as countries within a country because they are all so different). The various fiestas in each region feature varying foods, music, political views, and even languages in addition to Spanish! If you're looking for an authentic taste of Spanish cultural diversity, tap into this experience, and you won’t regret it!
Whether you're a gourmet food connoisseur, a night owl, a history buff, or more family-focused, Spain has a unique experience for everyone!
