Bilbao

The Guggenheim on the Nervión and a Casco Viejo evening—the Basque city that rebuilt itself with art.

San Sebastián

La Concha, pintxos in the old town, and Jazzaldia when the festival is on.

Picos de Europa

Limestone peaks and village nights—walks graded to the group, not a tick-list scramble.

Asturias

Cider houses, fishing villages, and Atlantic light after Galicia’s granite.

Santiago de Compostela

Pilgrim city in Galicia—the Obradoiro square, the cathedral, and granite lanes.

Cape Finisterre

The ‘end of the earth’ for medieval pilgrims—still a hard Atlantic headland.

Activities

  • Basque start

    Bilbao and San Sebastián—Guggenheim, La Concha, and pintxos done properly.

  • Picos de Europa

    National park time with walks matched to your fitness, not a forced summit.

  • Santiago & Finisterre

    The cathedral square and the western cape.

  • Scenic private drives

    Cantabrian coast roads with a driver who knows the weather.

Included Services

Entry & paperwork

For most US travelers, Spain is visa-free for a short stay (up to 90 days in any 180-day Schengen period). We brief you on passport validity, what to expect at passport control, and ETIAS only if the EU has opened it before you fly.

Airport transfers

Door-to-door arrivals and departures when included on your quote.

Private ground transport

Ground transport is private to your party. On small-group departures, vehicles carry only travelers booked on that same tour—we never mix unrelated guests into your route transfers.

Expert local guiding

Bilingual storytellers and specialists aligned with responsible local travel in Spain.

3–5 star hotels

Hand-picked 3- and 4-star hotels as the published baseline, with 4- and 5-star upgrades quoted on request. Rooming is on your confirmation. Every room has a private en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and hot water.

Scheduled entries & cadence

Museums, parks, and timed visits as listed for your tour style.

Meals

Daily breakfast at the hotel and one lunch included in Andalusia. Dinners are not included.

Not included

International flights

Travelers join us from across the United States and from other countries, so we leave flights to Spain to you—you choose the routing that works from home.

Most lunches & dinners

We leave these meals off the package so you have more flexibility to choose where to eat each day. We're more than happy to recommend places and make reservations whenever you need.

Tips & gratuities

Tipping is customary in Spain, but it isn't compulsory. In other words, it's optional.

Welcome to Spain. A member of Spain 360 will pick you up at the airport. Look for our logo with your name on it (or the name of the person in your party who booked the holiday). Next, you will be transferred to your accommodation. We keep the first evening light after a long flight: a short walk if you have the legs, a table nearby if you want dinner, or an early night. Extra tickets, cover charges, and drinks are not in the package unless your quote says otherwise. Bilbao’s riverfront is a gentle first walk if you land with daylight—the Guggenheim can wait until morning.
