We offer Spain travel planning across the country’s most captivating regions, each with its own irresistible flavor and rhythm. Here’s a taste of where we work our magic:

Barcelona & Catalonia

Barcelona’s creative pulse sets the tone for Catalonia, where you’ll wander from Gaudí’s whimsical masterpieces to the golden coves of Costa Brava, the medieval streets of Girona, the world-class wineries of Priorat, and the dramatic peaks of Montserrat. Expect a blend of cosmopolitan energy, seaside serenity, and countryside charm.

Basque Country & Northern Spain

Up north, you’ll savor pintxos in San Sebastián, marvel at Bilbao’s Guggenheim, and sip bold reds in La Rioja. Asturias and Galicia offer wild coastlines, Celtic traditions, and some of Spain’s most soulful seafood. This is where green hills meet Atlantic breezes and every meal feels like a celebration.

Madrid & Central Spain

In the heart of Spain, Madrid buzzes with art, history, and late-night tapas. Day trips to Toledo and Segovia reveal storybook castles and ancient aqueducts, while Ribera del Duero tempts wine lovers with rolling vineyards and cellar doors. It’s the perfect mix of big-city sparkle and timeless tradition.

Andalusia

Andalusia is Spain at its most passionate, think flamenco in Seville, Moorish marvels in Granada and Córdoba, the salt-kissed air of Cádiz, and the whitewashed villages perched in the hills. Here, every day is a sensory feast, from orange blossom-scented plazas to sun-drenched olive groves.

Valencia & the Mediterranean Coast

Valencia is the birthplace of paella and a city where modern architecture meets centuries-old markets. Along the Mediterranean, you’ll find the beaches of Alicante, the tranquil wetlands of Albufera, and the sparkling sands of the Costa Blanca, a coastline made for leisurely afternoons and golden sunsets.

Balearic Islands

Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza offer a Mediterranean escape like no other. Expect turquoise coves, rustic hill towns, and a laid-back island pace. Whether you’re after hidden beaches, vibrant markets, or a taste of the Balearics’ unique culinary traditions, these islands deliver sun-soaked adventure and relaxation in equal measure.

Yes, travelers need a valid passport, and a visa may be required depending on your nationality. U.S. and Canadian citizens can stay visa-free for up to 90 days.

While not required, we highly recommend it for medical coverage, trip cancellations, and unexpected emergencies. Some credit cards, like AmEx and Chase Sapphire, include travel insurance as a perk.

Spain uses Type F plugs with a voltage of 230V. Travelers from North America will need a power adapter and a voltage converter for specific devices.
