Madrid
~ La Movida madrileña ~
Madrid has been famous for its nightlife since the Movida Madrileña in the 1980s. But beyond the late-night bar scene is an incredibly historic city, steeped in ages-old traditions and a long heritage of art and literature. Visit Madrid's more sober side and dive into Spanish culture at its best : world-famous masterpieces at the Prado, Rococo architecture at the Royal Palace, and Cervantes' own home in the Barrio de las letras. Taste chocolate and churros near the Puerta del Sol, or do some shopping in the chic Salamanca district, and learn about the centuries bygone when Spain was one of Europe's most powerful nations. Experience all this, and more, in true, luxurious style.
Barcelona
~ Mediterranean Flair ~
Barcelona : a vibrant city with an unmistakenly Mediterranean air. From the long waterfront promenades to the quirky urban markets and the world-famous architectural masterpieces, Barcelona is both ancient and avant-guard. Visit Gaudi's remarkable Sagrada Familia, meander down the winding streets in the centuries-old Medieval quarter, experience the big city vibes in the chic Eixample neighbourhood or watch the sunset over a cocktail at one of the many delectable rooftop bars. A delightful visit to the big city to be coupled with the obligatory trip to the Costa Brava for its clear crystalline waters and beautiful sandy beaches.
Andalucìa
~ Moorish Paradise ~
Andalusia (or Andalucìa in Spanish) is home to much of the culture that is typically associated with Spain : flamenco, gazpacho, and matadors, not to mention the Feria de Sevilla and religious processions at Holy Week. Spain's sunniest region is a land of passion and arid landscapes and offers an incredible cultural experience for all those willing to dive in. With over 800 years of domination under the Moors, the culture has a distinctly arab flavour, blending Moorish opulence with European sophistication. Visit the staggering Alhambra palace in Granada, sip sangrìa in Seville's main square, or take in an authentic flamenco performance at a local tavern, if you dare. Taste the true flavours of southern Spain in luxury and style on the ultimate, authentic Spanish experience.
