BARCELONA

Day 1 - 4

The multicultural and playful city of Barcelona, founded more than 2,000 years ago, is the capital of Catalonia and combines elements of Roman times, medieval quarters, examples of Modernist style and 20th-century avant-garde movements. While for many people the Sagrada Família by Antoni Gaudí is Barcelona's architectural symbol par excellence, the port city offers many other architectural and cultural attractions and a vibrant nightlife.

VALENCIA

Day 4 - 7

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and the capital of the Valencia region. If you like food, this is the city for you. Every autumn there is the Autumn Festival, protected by UNESCO, where people from all over the world come to taste the famous paella. But it is not only food that you can enjoy in this diverse city on the Mediterranean coast, but also relax on the beach, go shopping and watch a game of the famous football club Valencia CF. If you also like modern architecture, this is the place to be.

GRANADA

Day 7 - 9

The first thought that comes to mind on hearing ‘Granada’ is the Alhambra. And indeed, the impressive Moorish palace is the symbol of the city for good reason, yet Granada has so much more to offer. From the stunning Islamic architecture which lines the streets of the Arab Quarter to the picturesque location at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, the city is truly spectacular. Add to this the lively and open-minded spirit, numerous bars, traditional restaurants and bohemian cafes, and Granada really has it all.

CáDIZ

Day 9 - 11

On a narrow piece of land surrounded by the sea in the Spanish region of Andalusia lies the old part of Cadiz. Once marked by military actions, there are still remains of the old great city walls to protect the population. Several quarters, such as Santa Maria, La Vina and el Populo, make this part of the old town what it is today. All the older parts of the city are characterized by ancient buildings, ideal to let yourself drift in the past and especially to take souvenir photos.

SEVILLE

Day 11 - 13

Seville, located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, is the fourth largest city in Spain and presents itself as a very diverse destination with a history going back more than two thousand years. The city has one of the largest Old Town areas in Europe and is famous for its beautiful architecture and rich culture. In 1992 Seville was also the venue of the World Expo. The bustling art & folklore scene, numerous festivals and a thriving nightlife make Seville an exceptionally attractive destination.

SAN SEBASTIáN

Day 13 - 16

San Sebastián-Donostia is a jewel of the Basque Country, its picturesque coastal setting and vibrant cultural scene unlike that of any other Spanish city. The city is the beating heart of the region's culinary scene, with numerous innovative Michelin starred restaurants and buzzing Pintxos bars serving the bite-sized speciality on every corner of the mesmerising Old Town. The impressive seashell-shaped La Concha beach is the city's crowning glory, and neighbouring La Zurriola is a favourite for surfers from Spain and beyond.

ZARAGOZA

Day 16 - 18

Zaragoza is Spain's fifth-largest city and the capital of Aragón, yet is still relatively underrated. However, the city has a lot to offer, from the mixture of Moorish, Baroque and Gothic styles of architecture to the vibrant culinary scene that has a distinct Spanish flair. The Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar is the obvious highlight here, its intricately decorated domes overlooking the pretty Ebro River, and visitors can also see the works of artist Francisco de Goy in a nearby museum before joining the locals in a buzzing tapas bar.

MADRID

Day 18 - 21

There is hardly any other city that presents the Spanish lifestyle as compactly as the Spanish capital. It combines economy and trade, culture and art with the typical elements of the Spanish way of life. Madrid offers world-class galleries, a wide variety of culinary delights, a legendary nightlife and beautiful architecture. The historic centre of Madrid between the Palace and the Retiro recreation park is relatively well laid out and is an ideal starting point for exploring the city.
