Cultural tours in Spain

Spain is a land of dynamic, colourful contrasts — in climate, religion, architecture, and gastronomy. Our expert‑led cultural tours unpick this alluring patchwork from north to south, east to west: Moorish Andalucía, where the legacies of Muslim princes and Christian kings endure; Extremadura, home of the Conquistadors; the Pyrenees, rich in extraordinary Romanesque and Gothic architecture; and Castile & León, with its historic towns of León, Burgos and Segovia.

Across the country, our gastronomy tours explore everything from Basque culinary traditions to Barcelona’s vibrant street food, while art lovers can revel in Gaudí’s masterpieces or step into the world of Queen Isabella on Spain 1492.
