Enchanting Spain: A 6 Night / 7 Day Itinerary

In and around Spain

Spain is an enchanting country, with diverse regions, architecture, attitudes and pursuits. There truly is something for everyone, with its small medieval towns, seaside villages and sophisticated cities featuring some of the best cuisine, wines, architecture (both old and new), art, history, natural beauty, shopping, and nightlife in the world.

From the organic and sometimes outrageous Modernista architecture in Barcelona to the opulent North African Moorish cathedrals and royal residences in Andalusia, Spain is a treat for the senses. The medieval pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela is a must for history and cathedral buffs. Amble down the cobblestone streets of Seville and enjoy a bullfight in season. Madrid is an elegant European capital, boasting grand plazas, stylish boutiques, manicured parks, first-rate museums and fantastic restaurants and nightlife. In verdant, mountainous Basque Country, taste world-class Riojas and Navarras in rustic wineries, visit the stunning Frank Gehry Museo Guggenheim in Bilbao and finish with a stay at charming San Sebastian, a chic seaside resort and gourmet capital. For those seeking sun and sand, the Costa Brava in Catalonia delights, with dramatic cliffs, charismatic whitewashed towns and even a nearby Salvador Dali museum in Figueros and his residence in gorgeous Cadaques. The Costa del Sol in Andalusia possesses impeccable beaches, fishing ports, luxurious Marbella and more affordable holiday spots. The Canary Islands offer a wide range of options, from posh beach resorts to sand dunes, volcanoes and arid desert.
