Our Suggested Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Flight to Barcelona.

    Transfer to your accommodation and check-in.

    Visit the traditional, family-run Torres Winery for a guided tour of their wine production and bottling process and a chance to taste their wines or brandies (or grape juice for children).

    Optional evening activity: learn about the history of Spain's most famous gastronomic tradition while enjoying some delicious food with an outstanding Tapas Tour OR discover the most Spanish of all dances with a Flamenco Show.

  2. Day 2

    In the morning, visit Gaudí's famously unfinished masterpiece La Sagrada Familia.

    Then make your way to La Rambla, the city's most vibrant artery, and explore La Boquería Market, Barcelona’s most famous food market.  It boasts a strikingly grand entrance, and the sheer scale and diversity of the products for sale are breath-taking.

    In the afternoon, discover the sights and smells of Spain in Barcelona's mini Spanish village!  Built for the 1929 Exhibition, the Poble Espanyol is an immersive cultural journey around Spain and its diverse regions.

    Top off your day by taking in the sea air at the Barceloneta & Port Vell, an area of the city that underwent huge transformation for the 1992 Olympics.  Once a small fishing harbour, it is now home to Barcelona’s most famous beach along with plenty of restaurants, cafés and small souvenir boutiques.
