Spain
Overview
Spain is a must-go destination in Europe with incredible sights, delicious cuisine, and rich history.
Explore Spain differently and get fully immersed in Catalonian culture. You’ll begin your trip in Barcelona, a city with a rich cultural heritage that has become an important cultural center of Spain. Besides exploring the trendy neighborhoods of Barcelona, you’ll also tour La Sagrada Família, one of Antonio Gaudí’s most famous architectural masterpieces.
Embrace the Catalonia region from a farmhouse on the outskirts of Girona. Discover the history of Girona with one of the best-preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe.
¡Bienvenidos a España! Arrive at Barcelona International Airport and take included transportation to your eco-chic accommodations in the heart of the city.
Spend your afternoon walking around Barcelona's coolest neighborhoods with your Trip Leader. You'll be conveniently located near The Gothic Quarter, La Rambla and Plaça Catalunya.
Enjoy Catalonian cuisine at a local restaurant, get to know other like-minded travelers on the trip, and start feeling at home in Spain.
Explore Barcelona's major attractions with your Trip Leader on a private walking tour, like Passeig de Gràcia, Las Ramblas, Plaça Catalunya, and La Boqueria Market.
A must-see is the inspiring beauty of La Sagrada Família, an architectural masterpiece that broke ground in 1882 and is still unfinished. Marvel at its soaring spires and intricate façades, each telling a story of spiritual symbolism and artistic ingenuity.
Later in the evening, get ready to experience the authentic Spanish lifestyle. Remember, everything starts later in Spain, and your Trip Leader will guide you on what neighborhoods to explore, restaurants to try, and nightlife to check out.
Head over to the coastline to explore Barceloneta and the medieval districts of Barcelona like Born, Gothic, and Raval. You'll get a local perspective on a private walking tour through these trendy neighborhoods and continue learning about Barcelona's unique culture.
After that, you will travel to the picturesque city of Girona. With your Trip Leader, explore the town's historic center, including Roman and medieval walls, the old Jewish quarter, the Eiffel Bridge, and the Onyar River.
When you arrive at your farmhouse accommodation outside of Girona, you can enjoy your first farm-to-table meal and learn the history of this unique place.
The morning greets you with the peaceful sounds of nature. As you enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, start your day with an organic breakfast. Today is a free day to relax or to be as active as you please.
The farmhouse offers yoga, massages, hammam spa service, swimming, and gentle walks along the surrounding hills. You can also join the farmhouse team to learn more about the garden and the farm animals.
Feeling a bit more adventurous? Return to Girona to enjoy the city's incredible variety of cafés and trendy shops.
Enjoy a group dinner with your new friends in the evening, sourced directly from the fresh products grown at the farmhouse.
We drive through Catalonia's countryside to reach Queralbs, a traditional small town in the Pyrenees.
Next, we board a rack railway that will take us up into the mountains to La Vall de Nuria, surrounded by peaks nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) high and offering stunning views.
Here, you can enjoy a picnic lunch along the banks of the lake in Nuria and walk to explore this tiny hamlet at the base of the Pyrenees mountains.
In the evening, we return to the farmhouse and enjoy a farewell dinner at the farmhouse, sharing stories of your Catalonian experiences with your new friends.
We'll leave the farmhouse in the morning and travel to Costa Brava, home to some of Spain's most breathtaking landscapes and enchanting Mediterranean seaside towns.
Our first destination is Calella de Palafrugell, a charming fishing village along the rugged coastline. Walking the promenade, you'll feel the fresh Mediterranean breeze.
Indulge in delicious seafood or visit one of the pristine beaches, immersing yourself in the laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere.
Continuing our adventure, we will arrive at Pals, a remarkably preserved medieval village on a hill. Admire the historic architecture as you wander the cobblestone streets.
On the final day of our adventure, wake up early to make the most of your last morning in Spain. Enjoy an organic breakfast at the farmhouse and take in the views of the countryside one more time.
You'll travel back to Barcelona El Prat International Airport (BCN) by private transportation. Say goodbye to your new friends and maybe even make plans to meet up again in the future.
