Walk into Gaudi's la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona

When you picture Barcelona you think of Antoni Gaudi, the 20th century architect who left his Art Nouveau mark on the city. The La Sagrada Familia is one of his greatest works and has been inspiring crowds since construction began in 1882. On our Barcelona tours, you'll view the outside of the building with your Local Specialist and marvel at the sheer size and its intricate designs.

Admire the Royal Palace in Madrid

See how the other half live when you view the Palacio Real de Madrid, the largest palace in Europe. This impressive building is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, although you probably won’t catch a glimpse as it’s only used for state ceremonies. Gaze in awe at the grand facades and hear stories about the palace from your Local Specialist.

Stroll around Park Guell in Barcelona

Park Guell is one of the quirkiest places I have ever visited in my life. Not only will you feel as though you have stepped into some kind of psychedelic fairytale, you will also be gifted with an incredible sweeping view of Barcelona from above (provided you are willing to brave the steps).

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN SPAIN

From paella to patatas and croquetas to churros, Spanish food is the gift that keeps on giving. We’ve got all the hottest tips on where to find the best Spanish tapas and treats.

Gazpacho

A cold soup may come as a shock, but it will all make sense as you slurp into this tomato-y dish in the sizzling Seville sun. Andalusia’s beloved Gazpacho is a chilled soup made from raw, blended vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers and we think it’s the most refreshing part of the day.
Sangria

Sangria is the fruity national symbol of Spain and there’s nothing better than kicking back with a cold glass (or jug!) of this delicious wine punch on your Spain tour. The recipes for sangria vary all over the country, but you can bet you’ll love this cooling beverage made with fruit and alcohols like red or white wine, cava or even cider.
Churros

These tasty street treats are Spain’s amazing answer to doughnuts. They’re made from fried dough cut into long sausage shapes and smothered in cinnamon sugar. Don’t forget to dip them in hot melted chocolate and don’t forget to pick up more than one - we bet you’ll want to come back for more.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT SPAIN

Famed for its 300 days of sunshine a year, pack your hat and sunglasses and get ready to shine almost any time of the year.

Best time to visit Spain’s beaches

July and August are the hottest summer months in Spain, but we love kicking back on Spain’s beaches in May and June when the weather is still beautiful and there are fewer crowds along the coast.
Best time to experience Spanish festivals

Head to Spain in spring and early summer if you want to catch a fiesta or two, from local flamenco and food fairs, to Easter’s semana santa and the amazing castellers human towers of Catalonia.
Best time to explore Spain’s cities

If you’re after some Spanish sightseeing in the cities, the best time to visit is autumn, spring or even winter when the weather isn’t too hot and the summer crowds haven’t arrived.

PACKING TIPS FOR SPAIN

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN SPAIN

Bring a reusable water bottle

Tap water is safe to drink in nearly all of Spain, so bring a reusable bottle and reduce your plastic waste. You can even find public drinking fountains to refill your bottle.

Eat local

Spanish food is best enjoyed the local way, and you’ll have a ball visiting the local markets to find fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese, olives and wine while chatting with the local producers.

Leave no trace

Help to preserve Spain’s incredible natural beauty by following the rules for each protected area. Never leave any litter behind and stay on the marked paths when walking in Spain.
