Introducing Spain

You won't need to go far beyond the Alhambra of Granada and the streets of Barcelona to find the real Spain. Step away from the crowds and you'll find that this destination has retained its depth—centuries of history linger in hilltop villages, and wild landscapes abound from the craggy Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coast. This is where you come to revel in the good life, whatever that means to you: hiking through Galicia, embracing the architecture of Bilbao, or eating your way through the Basque Country

When is the best time to visit?
Generally, April-June and September-October offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds than peak summer months. One exception is northern Spain, where springtime sees more rain than in other parts of the country; here, June-September is your best bet. July and August are the hottest months of the year—for sun worshippers, this could be the perfect time to visit. Learn More  

Where should I go in Spain?  
If you're heading to Spain for the highlights, you'll want to start with Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, and Seville. Not your first trip? Consider San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, and Valencia. And if you truly want to venture off the track, craft your itinerary from the literal road less traveled—hike through the Pyrenees to hidden villages, drink wine in La Rioja, explore Mérida and the Extremadura region, and the list goes on. 

How many days do I need?
While it's possible to have a fun trip to one of Spain's cities over a long weekend, we recommend at least 5 days if you really want to experience a region. Madrid makes for a great base for taking regional day trips, and the same goes for Barcelona—medieval coastal villages and hiking trails in the Pyrenees are all within driving distance.

If you have 10 days, choose between northern and southern Spain to minimize travel time. A southern route could include Madrid, Mérida (or another stop in Extremadura), Seville, and Granada. Travelers interested in the north can hit Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Oviedo, and Santiago de Compostela. With two weeks or more, geography is no longer an issue—just connect the dots to form a country-wide itinerary. Learn More

Getting around Spain
Most travelers fly into either Madrid or Barcelona, and short, domestic flights are a convenient way to hop between major cities. Flying is also the best option for reaching the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. For areas without airports, Spain’s high-speed AVE trains are fast and comfortable. Driving is another good option, as cities are mostly connected by well-maintained highways. Learn more

We had a fabulous time in Portugal and Spain. We hit the ground running with an all day tour to Sintra and Cascais visiting the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleria. The place was magical, definitely a must see. Louis was our guide and Fernando was our driver. They worked really well together and shared lots of history and information about the area.
Our second excursion in Lisbon was a wine tour to the Setubal region. Ricardo picked us up at the hotel and we spent the day visiting one of the oldest wineries in the area and a small family run winery, Lobo. It by far was our favorite, the family was amazing and our tasting was incredible. The restaurant we were supposed to eat at had an unexpected fire in the kitchen and Ricardo quickly made new arrangements for us to go to another wine tasting and we had meat and cheese board with a wonderful chocolate mousse from the original restaurant that was picked. We spent the evenings exploring Lisbon, the city dubbed as the city of Seven Hills is not an exaggeration. The Lisboa Pessoa Hotel was in the perfect area and the breakfasts were wonderful every morning. Having a driver from Lisbon to Lagos was very convenient.
From there we traveled to Lagos (Algarve) where we had 3 relaxing days at the beach, exploring Old Town and hiking along the Ponta da Piedade. Again our hotel, Lagos Avenida, was in the perfect spot to enjoy the marina and all the area had to offer. Again having a driver from Lagos to Seville was very convenient.
We had two wonderful experiences in Seville. Our first night in we had a Tapas and Flamenco Experience, where Nico our guide taught us the history of Flamenco. It was great to learn about what they as performers put into the show and how it is all improve and the singer, guitar and dancers learn to work off each other. Fascinating and an extraordinary show. Nico took us to the best ever Tapas Bar afterwards. The next day spent an afternoon visiting the Cathedral and Alcazar with Cristina our guide. She was extremely informative. It was a lot of walking and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner that evening and enjoyed one of many patios at Las Casas de la Juderia. This hotel was unique and a must stay if ever in Seville. Our final night was spent on a rooftop cooking a traditional Paella and viewing the Cathedral in the background. Fernando our chef, was full of passion about his craft and loved teaching others how to cook Paella. It was such a fun experience and the perfect setting. He recommended a very tasty ice cream place for dessert afterwards .
We ended our trip flying back to Lisbon, staying at the Tivoli Oriente Hotel. It was close to the airport, but not what we expected for our last day and evening in Lisbon. Summer gave us suggestions for the day and helped us get to the area we needed to be in for an amazing last night. Alfama area was a fantastic area where we experienced a festival and the best meal of our trip. Perfect find for our last night. This is our second trip planned with KimKim and it did not disappoint.

Sintra and Quinta da Regaleira with Louis and Fernando, the Lobo family winery in Setúbal, three beach days in Lagos, Nico's flamenco history lesson followed by the best tapas bar in Seville, paella on a rooftop with the Cathedral in the background — that is an incredible run of experiences.

I'll also make sure Summer knows her Alfama recommendation landed perfectly — ending a trip with a festival and the best meal of the whole journey is about as good as it gets.

The fact that you've trusted us with a second trip means so much. We can't wait to start planning the third! 🎉
