Madrid

Spain’s capital: the bear and the strawberry tree, Habsburg plazas, the Prado, and neighborhood tapas.

Segovia

Roman aqueduct still holding the skyline, a storybook alcázar, and Castilian roast country.

Ávila

The complete medieval walls—a severe, beautiful Castilian city of stone and silence.

Salamanca

University stone and one of Spain’s great Plaza Mayors—gold light on sandstone at dusk.

Santiago de Compostela

Pilgrim city in Galicia—the Obradoiro square, the cathedral, and granite lanes.

Cape Finisterre

The ‘end of the earth’ for medieval pilgrims—still a hard Atlantic headland.

Asturias

Cider houses, fishing villages, and Atlantic light after Galicia’s granite.

Picos de Europa

Limestone peaks and village nights—walks graded to the group, not a tick-list scramble.

Bilbao

The Guggenheim on the Nervión and a Casco Viejo evening—the Basque city that rebuilt itself with art.

San Sebastián

La Concha, pintxos in the old town, and Jazzaldia when the festival is on.

La Rioja

Haro, Laguardia, and bodegas we actually use—vines under the Sierra Cantabria.

Zaragoza

Basílica del Pilar on the Ebro—a working Aragonese city between wine country and Catalonia.

Barcelona

Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter, and a Mediterranean finish.

Valencia

Central market, paella country, and the City of Arts on the Mediterranean.

Granada

The Alhambra, the Albaicín, and late light on the Sierra Nevada.

Málaga

Picasso’s city and the old Alcazaba above the port—sardines on the grill, not a Costa strip.

Seville

Andalusia’s capital of courtyards, flamenco, and orange trees: cathedral, Alcázar, Santa Cruz, and Triana nights.

Included Services

Entry & paperwork

Airport transfers

Door-to-door arrivals and departures when included on your quote.

Private ground transport

Ground transport is private to your party. On small-group departures, vehicles carry only travelers booked on that same tour—we never mix unrelated guests into your route transfers.

Expert local guiding

Bilingual storytellers and specialists aligned with responsible local travel in Spain.

3–5 star hotels

Hand-picked 3- and 4-star hotels as the published baseline, with 4- and 5-star upgrades quoted on request. Rooming is on your confirmation. Every room has a private en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and hot water.

Not included

International flights

Travelers join us from across the United States and from other countries, so we leave flights to Spain to you—you choose the routing that works from home.

Most lunches & dinners

We leave these meals off the package so you have more flexibility to choose where to eat each day. We're more than happy to recommend places and make reservations whenever you need.

Tips & gratuities

Tipping is customary in Spain, but it isn't compulsory. In other words, it's optional.

Welcome to Spain. A member of Spain 360 will pick you up at the airport. Look for our logo with your name on it (or the name of the person in your party who booked the holiday). Next, you will be transferred to your accommodation. We keep the first evening light after a long flight: a short walk if you have the legs, a table nearby if you want dinner, or an early night. Extra tickets, cover charges, and drinks are not in the package unless your quote says otherwise. Madrid’s evenings are easy after an Atlantic crossing: a first walk in the Austrias, a vermouth, or an early night.
