Best of Spain

Madrid
The first leg of our Iberian road trip kicks off this morning as we travel north in search of Burgos and Pamplona.

Burgos
We couldn’t race to our night’s stop-off point without letting you marvel at the pretty medieval town of Burgos first. For real, just wait till you see the gorgeous town square.

Pamplona
Our next stop is the colorful Pamplona. We’ll start with a brief orientation tour of this well-preserved town, and then you’ll have some free time to explore in your own way. Later this evening, we’ll regroup and sit down to a delicious included dinner.

Meals : Breakfast, Dinner
Hotel : El Toro Hotel and Spa (or similar)

Pamplona
Rise and shine, Spanish explorers! Two cities await us today, but not until we’ve had breakfast.

Bilbao
Bilbao might get bragging rights to being an up-and-coming cultural hub of Spain, but that hasn’t diminished its uber laid back spirit. Home of one of the world’s most famous museums, the Museo Guggenheim, you’re free to use your morning to play art critique and absorb Bilbao’s pretty surrounds and architecture.

San Sebastián
Next stop, San Sebastián! This is a pretty postcard town where cobbled lanes slope towards pristine beaches. Take a walk, do some shopping, or just sit and chill in a bar, enjoying endless plates of pintxos (the Basque version of tapas).

Pamplona
Our day ends where it started in Pamplona, where you’ll sleep soundly with a head full of modern art-themed dreams.

Meals : Breakfast
Hotel : El Toro Hotel and Spa (or similar)
Included Experiences :

• Day Trip to Bilbao

Travel Party Exclusive –

• Pintxos for All You cannot visit San Sebastian and not go on a pintxos tour. This Basque tradition of going from bar to bar and tasting delicious morsels of food is synonomous with the city itself. You will learn about the Basque Country’s unique culture, get to know how the locals live and eat and feel a real sense of community – and yes, you’ll understand why they are not called tapas here.

Pamplona
This morning we spread our wings and take metaphorical flight once again, this time in the direction of Zaragoza with an end goal of none other than bustling Barcelona.

Zaragoza
A colorful cathedral & traditional Spanish churros will set our hearts aflutter in Zaragoza, as we roam the casco (old town) soaking up historic architecture and good vibes aplenty. Even the pit stops are amazingon Travel Party.

Barcelona
With 2 nights in Barcelona, you’ll be pronouncing Barcelona’s C with a “tthh” like a true local by the time we make tracks. We’ll kick things off with a walk through the Gothic Quarter & La Rambla district – two of the city’s must-dos for an instant look at this pretty spot, and a sure way to feel like a local in no time.
