A country of ripe vineyards, endless coastlines, rugged mountain ranges and historic villages, our trips to Spain will venture into the spirit of Spain uncovering the heritage of its luscious surroundings. This culture means more than siestas and sangria, proved as we move from monument to museum to the beat of flamenco. In Madrid, we’ll discover the meeting point of old and new via charming alleyways and taverns. Our Spain trips will certainly bring delight with Gaudi architecture in Barcelona, whilst the mountain of Montserrat proves there is magic to be found beyond Spain’s bountiful cities. Between the map points, we will discover this country’s culinary delights and understand how they form part of the cultural fabric. Fierce passion, national pride and reverence for tradition seep through every inch of this intriguing land. The lure of Spain tours is enormously strong and will stay with you long after your visit.

“I really enjoyed the length of the tour. It was long enough to see so many incredible sights and not be rushing from place to place, and there was enough free time to enjoy shopping for some food. Kassie was the best guide ever! She was organised, knowledgable and fun, making the trip run smoothly.”

What to pack for a tour in Spain
Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.
Spain is one of the 26 European countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement, which means it offers visa-free travel to nationals from 60 other countries including Australia, the United States, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom. To determine whether the country you're travelling to requires a visa, head to the Schengen Visa's information website.
There is so much going on throughout Spain at any time of the year, but the best time to visit is usually late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October), when you can avoid the intense heat of the summer and the peak season crowds. Spring sees many major festivals, with Semana Santa in March or April, the Feria de Abril in April, and Las Fallas in March.
Spain’s climate and weather varies greatly across the country. Along the Atlantic coast in cities like Santander and San Sebastián, it’s cool and humid. Central Spain is dry and sees the hottest summers, but also the coldest winters, while Mediterranean cities like Barcelona and Valenica are mild and sunny throughout the year. Mountainous areas like the Pyrenees and the Sierras are predictably much colder, and the Canary Islands see tropical temperatures all year round.
Spain uses the official currency of Europe, the Euro (€).
Tipping in Spain is not mandatory, but if you experience good service then a tip of around 10% is customary when dining out at restaurants, or simply rounding up the bill.
You won't have trouble finding an ATM in Spain, particularly in popular tourist areas or major cities and towns. Look out for signs for 'cajero automático' or 'cajero' in Spain in airports, shopping centers, on high streets and outside banks. If you're heading off the beaten path into more isolated rural areas, you may struggle to find an ATM so get some cash out just in case.
99.5% of Spain's tap water is safe to drink, though particularly in southern Spain many locals and tourists prefer to drink bottled water due to its taste – conversely, Madrid has some of the best-tasting tap water in the country.
We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance prior to your trip. Please ensure you add the details of your insurance to the My Trafalgar portal.
Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events.
Spain is known for its vibrant, welcoming and relaxed culture, with Spanish people often characterized as passionate and expressive – Spaniards certainly don't hold back when celebrating historical, religious or national events! Mealtimes are prioritized and are a particularly social event, with dinners often taking place over a few hours.
