Luxury Travel to Spain

Spain is truly a year-round destination, but spring and fall offer an excellent balance of nice weather and fairly light crowds. Keep an eye on the calendar as there are many festivals during these months which can make for an interesting cultural experience, but can also mean higher prices and busier attractions that you’d probably rather avoid.

If your heart is set on sampling Spain’s incredible beaches, summer brings long, sunny days and warm seas, though city sightseeing is best saved for cooler months when the heat eases and the pace slows.

Spain’s high-speed trains are efficient and comfortable, and often the most convenient way of traveling between major cities. When they’re available on your routes, it’s the best way to travel.

Low-cost domestic flights with carriers such as Vueling or Iberia also make travel within Spain quick and simple, but if you’re mainly traveling around rural areas, renting a car offers great flexibility and allows you to explore Spain at a pace that suits you.

That depends on how long you plan to travel and the level of accommodation you choose, but you should expect to pay around $500 per day. This includes all accommodation in a 4 or 5-star hotel, meals in good quality restaurants, and private tours.

You could probably spend your whole life exploring Spain, but we’d recommend between 10 and 14 days. Spend three nights each in Barcelona and Madrid, then venture south to explore the historic cities of Seville and Granada.

Of course, it’s possible to enjoy a shorter trip focusing on just one or two cities or regions, or extend your stay to experience more of what Spain has to offer.

Spain is a country made for exploring. In Barcelona, Gaudí’s creations like the towering Sagrada Família and Park Güell showcase the city’s creative soul, while Madrid draws you in with elegant plazas, royal palaces, and galleries filled with masterpieces. In Southern Spain, Seville moves to the rhythm of flamenco and Granada’s Alhambra tells stories of Spain’s Moorish past.

Outside of the cities, you’ll find endless coastlines for swimming, sailing, or simply soaking up the Mediterranean sun. In the north, the Basque Country is famed for its world-class cuisine, while mountain ranges like the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada are perfect for hiking in summer and skiing in winter.

Wherever you go, food and wine take centre stage — from tapas shared with friends to fruity Rioja wines and the freshest seafood. Every corner of Spain has its own flavor, its own pace, and its own way of making you wish you could stay a little longer.
