Cultural Journeys Through Spain    

We invite you to discover Spain through our cultural tours tailored to introduce you to the local riches of the region. You will experience Spain like a native because the tours are lead by Spanish experts passionate about making sure you have an unforgettable cultural experience.

Each tour is tailored made for our clients and we strive to introduce our guests to the hidden treasures not likely found in any guidebook.  For example, the accommodations we select were chosen for their individual charm and hospitality and of course location all to ensure a memorable experience.  As for savoring the local cuisine, restaurants included on tour are our personal favorites, which were introduced to us initially through our friends.

We organize customized tours for small groups (maximum 15 people) interested in immersing themselves in the sensuous riches of Spain, getting off the beaten path, and feeling like a Spaniard for a while.

Tours are designed to highlight the region’s food, wine, history, music and art during its most favorable time of year. You'll experience epicurean delights and follow these treasures to their source. Whether we are in Ribera del Duero biking through vineyards and lunching with winemakers, or hiking in La Garrotxa in the Pyrenees savoring artisan cheese with cheese makers, or in Cadiz nibbling Pata Negra while sipping Manzanilla and listening to Flamenco, or learning about the art and architecture of Antonio Gaudí’s Barcelona, it will be an experience you'll remember always.
