Spain Tours
Reflecting its rich culture and history, our guided tours to Spain cover all categories of Martin Randall cultural holidays, whether art, history, music, gastronomy, or walking. From Madrid’s great galleries to the pilgrimage route of Santiago de Compostela, the Moorish legacy in Granada to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao – the most famed sites of Spain’s cultural heritage are explored in rewarding detail on our tours to Spain. Numerous lesser-known areas and themes are also visited on our guided tours: Spain’s most beautiful cities Salamanca, Segovia and Avila; the opera houses of Barcelona and Valencia; gastronomic tours in Catalonia and the Basque Country and Semana Santa in Andalucía and Extremadura.

A wealth of facts; historically, architecturally, culturally. All given with an informative and friendly manner.
The itinerary was beautifully designed. Lots of variety, and it very cleverly moved us between city and country.I am awash in sensation. So much colour, light, darkness, history, geography, and the snapping and whirring of the Spanish language. I feel truly enriched by this trip.
