Budget Tours to Spain
What if every city offered something completely different? Spain manages that trick. Granada's Alhambra requires hours to explore properly, Seville's flamenco shows give you chills, and Barcelona's Gaudí buildings bend architecture rules. Madrid's Royal Palace impresses, check out Cordoba's Mosque-Cathedral, and Toledo packs centuries of history into narrow cobblestone streets. Explore how each region keeps its own flavor.

What people love about Budget Tours in Spain
- Colors of Spain - 8 Days
We did an 8-day tour from Madrid to Malaga. The sites were amazing and the tour guides excellent. We took an English/Spanish tour and it worked out that most of our group was from South America and spoke Spanish. Only a few of us did not speak Spanish, but the guides worked very hard to speak in both Spanish and English so we could enjoy all the history. I highly recommend the optional package that includes lunches and some shows. The flamenco dancing was incredible.
- Cycle Southern Spain - Murcia
It was an opportunity to discover an unspoilt part of Spain. Cycling through fields of fruit and olives, through villages which haven't changed in centuries was truly memorable. Our guide Alex Rodier organised just the right number of stops during the day. We were lucky to have a terrific group and we all got on well. Alex was totally professional and an exemplary leader - ever helpful, thoughtful with an engaging sense of humour. We especially liked staying in the monastery at Caravaca de la Cruz - it has a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere,
I have just completed a Cost-Saver Trafalgar tour called the Spanish Experience with Travel Director, Chloe Mulcahy and Trip Driver, Martinho who worked together as a well oiled team. I had hoped for an enjoyable, affordable, interesting and informative 9 day holiday. From the vital information received from Chloe prior to this trip (I wish I had read it more thoroughly to better assist with my preparations), through to its conclusion we received nothing but outstanding service and consideration beyond my imagination. This fascinating journey far exceeded my expectations and those of many of my fellow travellers. We were treated to the varied and intriguing landscapes of Spain - both rural and city, kept informed and excited by its history, feasted (rather too well) on its delicious and traditional foods, nurtured by the most comfortable accommodation, rather too tempted by the fascinating shopping opportunities and shared and formed great friendships with people from many nations throughout the world. Thankyou Trafalgar and your excellent staff for delivering on your promises for a trip of a lifetime that I will thoroughly enjoy reflecting back upon and not hesitate to recommend to others. M. L'Estrange #Costsaver
