Spain’s capital: the bear and the strawberry tree, Habsburg plazas, the Prado, and neighborhood tapas.

Extremadura

Dehesa, walled towns, storks on the towers, and Monfragüe.

Doñana

Atlantic wetlands and one of Europe’s great bird landscapes.

Tarifa · Strait of Gibraltar

Europe’s southern tip: migration raptors, wind, and Africa on a clear day.

Málaga

Picasso’s city and the old Alcazaba above the port—sardines on the grill, not a Costa strip.

Activities

Monfragüe & Cáceres
Imperial Eagle, vultures, and dehesa around the walled towns.
Doñana marshes
Herons, spoonbills, flamingos, and raptors over the marismas.
Strait of Gibraltar
Migration watch when the season is right; resident raptors if not.
Specialist guiding
Field days built around target species, not a rigid clock.

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 daily lunch. 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.

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. Madrid’s evenings are easy after an Atlantic crossing: a first walk in the Austrias, a vermouth, or an early night.
