Today, you’ll experience Madrid like a local on your included guided food tour, tasting delicious tapas and sipping perfectly paired drinks along the way. Between stops, take time to explore some of the city’s trendiest neighbourhoods, full of charm, colour, and local flavour.

Enjoy a full day at leisure. Visit the world-famous Prado Museum, wander through the gardens of El Retiro Park, or find a sunny terrace for churros and chocolate. Madrid is all yours today.

Hop on the high-speed train to Barcelona and watch the Spanish countryside roll by. On arrival, check in and start exploring – maybe a walk along Las Ramblas or a sundowner by Barceloneta Beach.

Step inside one of the world’s most iconic landmarks with a guided visit to the Sagrada Família. Afterwards, dive into the winding lanes of the Gothic Quarter or climb Montjuïc for sweeping city views.

Enjoy your final full day in Barcelona at your own pace. Visit Park Güell, shop the stylish Passeig de Gràcia, or relax at the beach. In the evening, treat yourself to Catalan cuisine and maybe a glass of cava.
