The regions
Spain’s regions each have their own language, food and character, from Madrid and its more than 90 museums to the beaches of the Mediterranean. Your advisor helps you choose the right combination for your time and interests.
Gaudí’s architecture, the Gothic Quarter and the Mediterranean waterfront, with the coves of the Costa Brava a short drive away.
Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum, the pintxos bars of San Sebastián and a celebrated culinary tradition.
The Alhambra in Granada, Málaga and its Picasso Museum, and white villages above the Costa del Sol.
Hidden coves and the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with harbor towns such as Port de Sóller.
Volcanic landscapes, mild weather all year and Mount Teide on Tenerife, Spain’s highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Valencia
Most people meet paella in Barcelona. We’d send you to Valencia, where it started. The original is made with meat, butter beans, green beans and rosemary in saffron rice, and the place to taste it is beside the Albufera lagoon, after crossing it in a traditional wooden boat. Spend a morning at the Central Market, with more than 250 stalls, then cook with a local chef and learn to get the socarrat, the crisp rice at the bottom of the pan. Keep a day for Utiel-Requena, wine country with more than 100 wineries known for the Bobal grape. We’ll plan the weekend, or fit it into a longer Spain trip.
When: Any time of year; World Paella Day is September 20, and Fallas fills the city in March.

Timing
Spain is a year-round destination. Spring and fall are ideal for cities and touring, summer for the coast and islands, and winter for the Canary Islands.
Mild weather for Madrid, Seville and Granada, with festivals such as the Fallas in Valencia in March.
Hot days inland and the full beach season on the coast and in the Balearic Islands.
Grape harvest in La Rioja, warm seas into October and comfortable city touring.
Mild sunshine in the Canary Islands and quieter visits to museums and cities.
Questions
April to June and September to October bring pleasant weather for cities and touring. Summer suits the coast and islands, and the Canary Islands are mild all year.
Ten days allows time for two or three regions, such as Madrid, Andalusia and Barcelona. Two weeks lets you add the Basque Country or an island. We plan the pace and the connections.
High-speed trains connect Madrid with Barcelona, Seville, Málaga and Valencia, and short flights reach the islands. We arrange the tickets, transfers and timing for you.
Mallorca offers coves, mountain villages and the Serra de Tramuntana. The Canary Islands are known for volcanic landscapes and mild weather all year. We help you choose based on season and interests.
Paella from Valencia, tapas, pintxos in the Basque Country, jamón and the wines of La Rioja are among the highlights. We can include market tours, cooking classes and tastings.
U.S. citizens need a valid passport and can generally visit Spain for up to 90 days without a visa. Entry rules for Europe are changing, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
