Complete Spain: South to North Adventure - Spain

In Spain, a land bursting with flavour, artistry, and passion, there's no such thing as going halfway. Start in Madrid, then travel south where the Andalucian capital of Seville will ignite your soul with the heart-pounding rhythms of flamenco. Then head north to explore the vibrant Basque and Catalan regions: soak up the energy of Barcelona, sip your way through Logroño’s wine country, indulge in San Sebastián’s legendary cuisine, and marvel at Bilbao’s striking architecture. With each region offering its own unique character, style, and language, this adventure through Spain's diverse landscapes and cultures is the full package.
