One week in Spain is enough time to experience two to three regions for a quick glimpse into the many cultural and natural landscapes of the country. Cover Spain's most popular highlights in Madrid and Sevilla, spend your trip exploring the coastal villages of the Costa Brava from Barcelona or dive into the culture of the Catalonian countryside. Another option is to rent a car and combine classic highlights like Madrid with the lesser-known charms of La Mancha.

We had plenty of time to also tour on our own checking out multiple attractions including Castillo Gibralfaro and the Picassos birthright museum.

We had a wonderful trip exploring southern Spain. Starting in Malaga, we had a delicious tapas tour with our guide Emilio. We had plenty of time to also tour on our own checking out multiple attractions including Castillo Gibralfaro and the Picassos birthright museum. The kayak tour in La Heradurra showcase the beautiful coastline of the area. Two of our favorite outings were the hikes to El Saltillo mountain village and to the amazing canyons of Caminino del Rey. Ronde was our favorite city to visit with it being perched on its elevated picturesque mesa. The trip offered a unique variety of activities and settings to explore. We loved it all.
