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.

Celebrating Gaudí Modernist architecture in Barcelona & Catalonia

" By focusing on a very specific area of Spain, and drawing on the experience and personal connections of Gijs Van Hensbergen with food producers and chefs, the itinerary allowed for both an intimate and comprehensive introduction to the cuisine of this region. " Gastronomic Asturias & Cantabria - Spain’s hidden paradise on the Emerald Coast

" Gijs van Hensbergen was superb!! This was our first Martin Randall experience and, based on this trip, lecturer and tour director, we would travel with you anywhere. " Castile & León - The magnificent heart of Spain

" This tour really opened my eyes to a beautiful part of Spain I had never visited. The simplistic beauty of the Romanesque architecture was the highlight for me especially the monastery at San Juan de le Pena. Our lecturer was incredibly enthusiastic and her broad knowledge covered not only art history, but architecture, medieval history and basically anything we asked her. " Aragón: Hidden Spain - Teruel, Zaragoza, Sos

" Gijs was superb: not only very well informed but enthusiastic and even moving, making good use of the telling anecdote. His special relationship with the Gaudi buildings and with restauranteurs gave us a feeling of special privilege. " Celebrating Gaudí - Modernist architecture in Barcelona & Catalonia
