Alejandra is such a wonderful tour guide, responsible and warm-heart. We arrived in Barcelona on weekends, I had problems to book Covid testing due to most test centers closed. Alejandra helped to find a center that was open and even booked a Sunday appointment for me. She was well organized and made sure I could join the tour group at the correct location after the testing. On Monday to the airport, the traffic made the driver late arriving in the hotel, Alejandra called the taxi company, texted me back and forth a few times and made sure I got to the airport on time. It’s very impressive that Alejandra is so responsive, reliable, and detail oriented with her job. Thanks for your help. I will give you a warm welcome if you come visiting Canada.

Venkat • traveled in October
The tour was terrific exposing the wonderful aspects of Spain in a short period of time. Travel guides: two (Albert and Abdel) were terrific; Jose was good. The hotels were good. Barcelona hotel was very bad. In Seville and Velencia, the hotels were outside of the main center city and prevented us from spending more time in the city. We covered most of the important cities and towns. I would strongly recommend Europomundo to anyone who is looking for good value for the money and time.

From what TourRadar customers tell us, MapaPlus' "Discovery of Spain" hits the sweet spot with solid guides, nice hotels and really good Spanish food included in their premium package. The main hiccup seems to be some language confusion when groups mix different nationalities together. Eskapas' "Absolutely Spain" gets a lot of praise for how well they've organized everything, and their guide Diego is a real standout - he knows Spanish history and culture inside out. A few travelers wished they had more time in Barcelona though, and suggested adding wine tasting or cooking classes would make it even better. VPT Tours has put together a decent itinerary with "Spanish Delights" but they're having some issues that need sorting out. Their customers mentioned problems finding English-speaking guides, and there was that tour bus breakdown which caused some stress. They really need to improve how they communicate before trips and get their service basics right. For something completely different, Explore's "Trekking in Spain - Picos de Europa" is worth looking at if you're into hiking. Just keep in mind that while they call it moderate difficulty, quite a few people found it tougher than expected. The mountain routes are beautiful, scenic and also pretty challenging - so make sure you're ready for some serious walking.
Best places to start your Spain tour
Our booking data shows Madrid is the clear winner for starting points - 57 of our customers kick off their Spanish adventures there, while Barcelona sees 12 departures and Malaga handles 7. Up north, Bilbao serves as the gateway for 5 tours and Sarria, where many pilgrims start their Camino de Santiago, hosts 2. You'll want to lock in plans about 4 months ahead - 115 days is the sweet spot, especially if you're eyeing summer travel when tours fill fast. The AVE high-speed trains make it simple to link multiple cities in one trip. Just keep in mind that August gets quiet as locals take their holidays, and in smaller towns you might find shops and restaurants closed during siesta from about 2-5pm. Time it right and you could catch amazing local festivals like Semana Santa in spring or the fall wine harvests.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in Spain brings a different charm to the classic Andalucian route. Our travelers particularly enjoy the 5-day tours that start in Madrid and wind south, as the cooler temperatures make exploring much more comfortable. The Cordoba Mosque looks even more magnificent in winter light, while Seville's Santa Cruz Quarter feels especially cozy as you duck into tapas bars between sightseeing. What makes these tours work well in winter is the mix of indoor and outdoor activities - you'll explore Toledo's medieval streets but can warm up inside its Gothic cathedral, and the Alhambra's architecture is just as impressive when there's a chill in the air. Our customers mention how they appreciate having dinner included most nights, since restaurants can close earlier in winter months.

- Spring 2026
The 9 and 10-day Spanish routes really come into their own in spring; we've got the timing just right for longer walks and outdoor exploring. You'll kick things off in Madrid, wandering through Plaza Mayor in the evening light, then head south through Extremadura where Merida's Roman ruins are waiting. The nice thing about spring is you can take your time - lingering in Seville's Maria Luisa Park or spending a proper afternoon in Granada's Generalife Gardens when the flowers are out. Our customers love these spring dates but they've taught us to mention booking 4 months ahead since they fill up fast. If you're finishing in Barcelona you'll get perfect weather for exploring Gaudi's work, with plenty of time to wander Park Güell and take in the views from Montjuic.

Spain's top summer tours smartly balance cultural highlights with heat-friendly timing. Starting in Madrid, evening walks under lit streets create atmosphere before the journey continues through Extremadura's ancient towns. Having two nights in most places works well, with morning walks catching cooler hours and free time for personal exploration later. Many travelers choose premium packages in summer, especially for those centrally-located hotels that make city exploring easier. Through Andalusia's main stops - Cordoba, Seville, and also Granada - carefully planned early starts help beat crowds at major sites like the Alhambra, which our customers point out as particularly valuable during peak season. The bilingual guides handle mixed groups skillfully in busy periods, though English speakers sometimes mention varying translation quality. Tours typically end in Barcelona, where perfect conditions await for Gaudi discoveries, with specific slots for Park Güell visits and Montjuic viewpoints as temperatures drop. These journeys span 7-10 days with about 40 fellow travelers, balancing guided excursions and independent moments that let you slip into cool tapas bars between sights.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings ideal conditions for our wine-focused northern routes, particularly the 8-day journeys starting in Barcelona or Bilbao. These tours combine cultural highlights with visits to renowned wine regions like Rioja, where you'll explore medieval Laguardia and its underground cellars. Our travelers love how these routes mix city experiences - like visiting the Guggenheim in Bilbao - with countryside exploration through wine country. The weather's typically perfect for walking tours through San Sebastian's old town and enjoying its famous food scene. Customer reviews highlight how much they appreciate the smaller group sizes on these tours, typically around 12-16 people, which allows for more intimate wine tasting experiences and easier restaurant bookings.

What makes Spain special for cultural experiences and how can you really get into local life?
Spain's got this amazing mix of different regional cultures each with their own thing going on. You can catch an incredible flamenco show in Seville where the dancers just pour their hearts out or head to Valencia to learn how to make authentic paella right where it all started. Walking through Cordoba's Jewish Quarter or getting lost in Seville's Santa Cruz neighborhood with all its tiny winding streets really takes you back in time. The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route's pretty special too you can actually walk the last 100km over 7 days stopping in these beautiful old towns like Portomarin trying local stuff like that mystical Galician fire drink Queimada and amazing Arzua cheese or octopus in Melide.
How do you get around Spain's cities efficiently while experiencing their modern side?
Spain's got this fantastic high-speed train network called AVE that connects all the major spots like Madrid Barcelona Seville and Valencia. It's super comfortable and you get these amazing views while traveling at high speed which really helps you make the most of your time. If you're heading to smaller towns there are plenty of regional buses that won't break the bank and renting a car gives you the freedom to explore those hidden spots nobody else gets to. You can zip from Seville to Madrid in just 2.5 hours on the AVE or take this incredible road trip through Andalusia checking out places like Ronda with its old bridges and bullring maybe stopping by Jerez to try some authentic Sherry.
Which lesser-known parts of Spain should you visit to see something different?
There's so much more to Spain than the usual spots everyone visits. The Picos de Europa National Park up north is absolutely stunning you can hike through the dramatic Cares Gorge or chill out in a traditional cider house in Oviedo. The cave houses in Guadix Andalusia are fascinating and the White Villages route near Ronda takes you through some of the prettiest countryside you'll ever see. San Sebastian in Basque Country is incredible for food lovers and has this amazing coastline. You can even stay in Sotres the highest village in the Picos and go on these challenging hikes to see the famous Naranjo de Bulnes peak or walk along these incredible cliff pathways in the Cares Gorge.
What local foods should you try in different parts of Spain?
The food in Spain changes completely depending where you are and it's all amazing. Up in Cantabria you've got to try Cocido Lebaniego this hearty stew with black pudding pork shoulder chorizo and local chickpeas. Galicia's known for its Arzua cheese and this incredible octopus dish called polbo a feira that you can get in Melide. In San Sebastian the pinxtos are like these fancy Basque tapas that go perfectly with txakoli this slightly sparkling white wine. And you absolutely can't miss the tapas in Seville it's basically the tapas capital of Spain. There's even this 10-day food tour starting in Barcelona where you get to try everything from local cava and learning to make paella with a chef to that amazing Cocido Lebaniego in Cantabria and all the pintxos you can eat in San Sebastian.
What should you know about Spanish customs and etiquette before visiting?
Life in Spain moves at its own pace and that's part of what makes it special. Most shops and businesses take a break during siesta usually between 2 and 5 in the afternoon so you'll want to plan around that. Don't expect to eat dinner before 9pm that's just how it works here. It really helps to learn some basic Spanish phrases since English isn't always widely spoken outside the main tourist areas. Just be mindful of personal space and try not to be too loud in public places Spanish culture appreciates good manners and respect for others.
