Our representative will then meet with you to answer any questions you have and to get you settled for the rest of your trip.

Ramble on La Rambla

Suggestion to explore on your own

Embrace the authentic Catalan spirit with an evening stroll along La Rambla on your first night in Barcelona. Spanning nearly a mile, this historic street is the sole avenue in the old part of the city, running parallel to the historical city wall. Unlike the bustling downtown, La Rambla offers a broad and spacious expanse, serving as an ideal meeting place for both locals and visitors alike. Flanked by bars, bistros, boutiques, and galleries on either side, La Rambla stands as a distinctive microcosm of Barcelona's charm.

Complete Gaudi Group Tour - Casa Batllo, Park Guell & Extended Sagrada Familia Visit

Included in your vacation package price.

Gaudí is synonymous with Barcelona. During this comprehensive guided tour around four different Barcelona neighborhoods, you'll have the chance to step inside three of the architect's most famous works and walk by a couple more. This carefully thought-out tour combines walking, public transport, and a private transfer to help you make the most of a day dedicated to Gaudí's genius. The morning tour starts at Casa Batlló, probably Gaudí’s most impressive residential project. Once inside, you'll be amazed at the smart solutions Gaudí found to solve architectural problems throughout the house. One of the highlights is the roof, designed to look like the scales of a dragon, one of Barcelona's symbols. Then, you'll stop to have a look at Casa Mila (La Pedrera) and Casa Vicens, both of which you can visit at a different time on your own, after the invaluable insights you'll have from your expert guide. However, if you opt for the afternoon tour instead, you'll be able to step inside Casa Vicens in the company of your guide. Up next is Park Güell, a fascinating park that feels like a microcosm of its own, where you'll be able to further explore Gaudí's genius and enjoy some of the best views in Barcelona, too. The tour ends at what must be the most iconic landmark in Barcelona: La Sagrada Família. The church will leave you speechless with the splendor of its facades and almost unreal interior.


Activity Level : Strenuous
Duration : 5 hours 30 minutes

Enjoy a Concert at Palau de la Musica Catalana

San Sebastián is rightfully known as one of the most beautiful cities in northern Spain. It flourished in the early 20th century as a holiday resort for aristocrats and to this day attracts visitors to its famed beaches. San Sebastian is also a haven for foodies. A landmark for gastronomy, San Sebastian has more Michelin Star restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Europe! But it’s not all about white table cloths and silver service. The bars in the quaint Old Town have the most delicious pintxos – the local take on tapas – which you must try while in San Sebastian. San Sebastian’s best-kept secret might be its cider houses. The cavernous sidrerias are where the locals can be found of an evening.

The Alcazaba of Malaga is a must for anyone visiting this historic city. It could be considered as a prototype of the Alhambra in Granada. The historic port has a vast array of traditional and contemporary cuisines and is a short walk from the city center. Malaga has a lively tapas scene too. Known as the birth town of Pablo Picasso, his home was historically preserved as a museum and is easily accessible in the city center of Malaga.

El Caminito del Rey Private Hike

Stroll the King's Pathway

Please ask your travel advisor for the cost to add this to your package

The Gaitanes Gorge is a canyon, carved by the river Guadalhorce in the territory of Alora, which at some points is only 10 meters wide and 700 meters deep. The Nothern access to it is via Guadalhorce reservoirs, the Southern via El Chorro. The construction of a water channel from the reservoirs in the north to El Chorro, which was meant to make the most of the slope in a hydroelectric power station, was carried out together with a path for maintaining the channel. This one is known as El Caminito del Rey Path (The Kings’s Little Pathway) because it was first opened by King Alfonso XIII. El Caminito del Rey hike is spectacular all way long: from the Count of Guadalhorce Reservoir to its end at El Chorro Dam. Placed in unique natural surroundings, the path stretches between two gorges, canyons and a large valley, along pathways or boardwalks. The route is linear, not circular, and it goes in one direction, downwards from the north to the south. Its beginning is in the Town of Ardales and the end in Álora.
