Two iconic cities. One seamless journey.
Discover the heart of Madrid and Barcelona with a curated small group trip featuring an authentic paella dinner, a lively flamenco show, guided city walks, a tapas & wine night and a beach day. Every detail is planned; so you can simply enjoy the rhythm, flavor, and soul of Spain.

In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner, where you’ll meet your fellow travelers and enjoy your first taste of Spanish cuisine. To close out the night like a true Madrileña, we’ll stroll to a local café for a sweet treat: traditional chocolate and churros.
