Discover the romance of Spain in Barcelona and the Basque Region

With its awe-inspiring architecture, beautiful coastline and some of the world’s best food and wine, Spain is as exciting as it is utterly romantic. You will head to the Basque region and the beautiful coastal city of San Sebastian, via Bilbao and Frank Gehry’s space-age Guggenheim museum. The Spanish are passionate about their food and nowhere more so than in the north, so dive in and out of San Sebastian’s pintxos bars trying a few mouthwatering morsels in each one. Great food deserves great wine and in La Rioja you’ll enjoy exploring the vineyards of this famous wine making region.
