Are you a fan of
Barcelona or someone who's intrigued by Spain’s extraordinary Basque Country? Then this all-embracing program is the choice for you! In 11 days traverse Spain on a route reminiscent of a lucky “horseshoe” and immerse yourself in the beauty of 4 regions: Catalonia, Basque Country, Rioja, and Madrid. Begin in legendary Barcelona and explore the best of the best of its Gothic Quarter and the incredible creations of Antoni Gaudi.
After zoom away north on a high-speed train to San Sebastian, set on the shores of the Bay of Biscay, to see its Kursaal Palace area and historic treasures. Plus spend a full day in the Rioja region visiting famous wineries and tasting local wine. Continue to Bilbao and its eccentric Guggenheim Museum and cozy Casco Viejo old town.
As a grand finale see Madrid from its brilliant city center to its historic part, Madrid of the Bourbons.
If you’ve already been to Madrid, consider a similar tour to Spain: Barcelona and Northern Spain with a twist to see Leon, Santiago de Compostela, and port-city La Coruna right after Bilbao.
