Spain Adventures on a Guided Tour

Spain is alive with fiery flamenco, charming culture, rich heritage, and flavourful tapas that will set your tastebuds alight. Delve deep into this alluring country on a small group adventure as you get acquainted with the local people and the places they proudly call home. Adventure travel is all about the experiences, and in Spain, there are plenty to choose from.

If, for you, nothing screams adventure quite like getting active and exploring somewhere new, then maybe hiking and biking your way through Spain is just the ticket! Take off across the rich landscapes of southern Spain, winding through whitewashed villages, lush valleys and olive groves as you cycle Andalucia with the wind in your hair. Prefer to lace up your walking shoes than pump your pedals? Perhaps follow in the footsteps of pilgrims who have threaded their way to Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain over centuries, walking the Camino through the Spanish countryside and discovering the charming townships that pepper the path.

If you’d rather tantalise your tastebuds than test your fitness, then a real food adventure will showcase the tight link between cuisine and culture in Spain. Follow the flavours of northern Spain from Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela shopping for fresh produce at the markets, taking a cooking class, sipping a glass or two at charming cellar doors, and sampling the best tapas Spain has to offer. If you have the time, continue to Portugal on a Spain & Portugal real food adventure where you can enjoy the fruits of the Douro Valley’s vineyards and try the famous Portuguese tarts, the “pasties de nata”, that will melt in your mouth and leave you hungry for more.

If you are after some activity, a generous serve of flavour, and experiences aplenty, then perhaps discover classic Spain over 15 days. This tour combines local trains and coach travel, showcases the iconic, and illustrates the immersive. Visit historic Alhambra, enjoy a flamenco performance in Seville, devour a traditional paella in Valencia, and try your hand at cooking tapas in Barcelona. Stay in a converted farmhouse in the Pyrenees, a base from where you can hike the beautiful landscapes or relax living the rural life. Continue to Basque country where you’ll discover the best of Bilbao and hop from tapas bar to tapas bar in San Sebastian. Leave some room for Madrid, where you’ll explore the city and bid farewell to your adventure cheering “Viva Espana”!

Not ready to finish holidays just yet? Never fear! An adventure through Spain is perfectly paired with an exploration of Portugal, where you’ll love getting lost in the winding cobblestone streets of Lisbon and in the cellars of Porto. If that sounds like you, then consider the three week Ultimate Spain and Portugal itinerary. Throw Morocco into the mix and you have an adventure you’ll never forget, with the 15 day Spain, Portugal and Morocco itinerary sightseeing the famous Blue City of Chefchaouen, artsy Fes, and lively Marrakech in Morocco.

Tours that cover Spain, Portugal and Morocco tend to spread their time a little more between countries, so if you love the thought of doing all three but still want to experience Spain in depth, then consider pairing two itineraries together, so you get to see it all! Choose the tour (or tours!) that suit you and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!
