The big industrial city in northern Spain, has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last 15 years.

Renaissance palaces, modern architecture and secret gardens, being in Caceres is traveling back to the 15th century.

The oldest inhabited city in Western Europe emanates a very special sense of freedom and pleasure for live.

An important Roman city and Islamic cultural center in the Middle Ages where many different cultures lived in complete harmony, Córdoba is a delight to explore, and a visit to world-famous La Mezquita should be at the top of any traveler’s bucket list.

Mountains, beaches, coves, viewpoints, trails and even Roman and Greek ruins ... The landscapes of the Costa Brava do not lack any detail.

Our imagination inevitably flies to its famous -and impressive- Hanging Houses. Cuenca is capital of surrealism. It is also nature and an example of the slow life we need. Cuenca awaits you.

With a strong industrial and port tradition, Gijón decided to completely renovate and convert into one of the cities with the best standard of living in Spain. Gijón offers a cultural, gastronomic and natural itinerary to enjoy the Asturian iconic essence.

Girona's historic center is splendid - one of the most important medieval cities in Catalonia - and the Jewish quarter will wow every first-time visitor.

Gran Canaria is the third largest island of eight that make up the Canary Islands and in its 1,560 km2 it displays a whole world of attractions. After all, it is described as “a continent in miniature”.

For more than seven centuries, Granada lived under the Muslim caliphate, and nowadays it displays deep traces of Arab culture, as can be seen in the Alhambra and in the patios, streets, mosques and in the wonderful fruit trees with yellow flowers.

Huesca is a peaceful city, with an important cultural and historical wealth. With just 50,000 inhabitants, it is halfway between Zaragoza and the Pyrenees.

Jerez de la Frontera smells sherry wines, it's the cradle of purebred Spanish horse and flamenco can be heard in every corner.

We invite you to embark on
a short tour to enjoy the history and art of León. León is a place to get lost and travel back in time walking through the old town.

Logroño is wine and tapas, in fact it's the capital of La Rioja county(autonomous community). But architecture, monuments, monasteries and design go hand in hand.

It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000 for being surrounded by the best preserved Roman wall of the Roman empire. And there is much more.

Infused with Miró flavors, the "Cathedral of light" is worth a visit - named so for the 87 windows and seven rose windows that allow natural light to get through. Beautiful squares, great shopping, and a food scene to die for.

Away from the buzz of the running of the bulls, the city of Pamplona is waiting to be discovered. With a rich architectural legacy, including a beautiful cathedral and 16th-century fortifications, Pamplona will delight you with its medieval flair. Wander around the city center soaking in all its charm, explore the green areas of the city and enjoy the Spanish lifestyle eating pinchos in the heart of Navarra, just like Hemingway used to do.

Whoever has not seen the magnificent gorge called the Tajo de Rondaat by sunset, misses one of the most famous pictures of Spain of all time. The historic 18th century bullring is a breathtaking monument. Get inspired.

A perfect city to enjoy culture, history and a succulent gastronomy. It is one of the most cultivated cities in Spain, since Alfonso IX created his University here, being today the oldest in the country.
Since the regent queen María Cristina made San Sebastián her summer bastion, the city became a favorite destination of the bourgeoisie and the rest of us mortals. San Sebastian’s beaches, spa resorts, and elegant architecture were its claim to fame in the Belle Époque. Nowadays, an effervescent cultural movement and experimental gastronomy have pushed San Sebastian in the spotlight once again.

Santander is an elegant city.
Enjoy a walk along the waterfront to the Botín Center by Renzo Piano, the diverse exhibition halls and viewpoints to the sea. Then, don't miss the best addresses to indulge in the local gastronomy.

The Galician capital offers the visitor an unsuspected pilgrim route. Monumentality and rusticity, stone and orchard coexist in Santiago in a unique fusion of culture and productive local economy.

The aqueduct from the 2nd century and the enigmatic church of Veracruz, from the 13th century, are just two of its attractions. The suckling pig is another temptation.
Imagine a a day among orange trees and charming squares,
the smell of orange blossom every spring season. From the majestic Spain Square, a city overlooking the Guadalquivir river, monuments follow one another without ceasing.

Tarragona is inextricably linked to its history, to its origins, and part of its charm lies precisely in what one day came to be, the second most important city of the Roman Empire. Nowadays it is very well preserved and shows off
a healthy lifestyle.

With an annual average of 22º C (71.6º F), Tenerife is always a good option. Star gazing from the highest point of Spain, colonial architecture and astonishing rare wines, are you ready to explore Tenerife?

The surprising Mudejar of Teruel architecture was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 Square and the mausoleum of the famous Teruel lovers - a 13th century tragedy - will break your heart. Be wowed by the grand staircase, stroll across art nouveau houses, bars serving the famous local jamón de Teruel (ham). Did you know a little town in Teruel county is the Black Truffle World's Capital?

Synagogues, mosques and churches coexisted under the same sky for years, decades of splendor that produced a multiculturalism more typical of a city of the 21st century than of one of the Middle Ages.

In a landscape dotted with olive trees, the city of Baeza awaits you, one of the jewels of the Andalusian Renaissance. Then comes Úbeda, showing off it well deserves its title of World Heritage City by UNESCO not only for its palaces ... also for its exquisite gastronomy.

Valencia is a cool city where you can enjoy a pleasant weather while looking at the sea. Valencia is a city in transformation ready to conquer the world.

The former capital of the Kingdom of Aragon during the Middle Ages has a rich monumental heritage. But this is a city where tradition and modernity meet.There is no friction between the ancient and the contemporary. It is about evolving in respectful coexistence.
Thank you for a beyond amazing trip, or should I say experience. Even the weather was perfect. Everything was organized, on time and exceptionally executed.
You were truly instrumental in making our trip fantastic. Truthfully, I wish I were still there.
Many thanks and looking forward to something we can plan together again in the future. Abrazos,

Dear Valeska,
Thank you so much for this helpful list! Gary and I are still talking about what a great time we had on the trip to Spain and how much we enjoyed meeting you, Fernando and Felix. You did an amazing job and we so appreciated seeing Spain's beautiful cities, historical treasures and of course the wonderful food, wine and people!
Gary and I wanted to thank you again for your continued care and concern as we spent three additional days in Madrid with the Millars. You and Fernando were so nice to make sure all went well and to see us off when we finally had to depart.
We are wishing you all the best and a wonderful holiday season ahead,

Valeska put together an incredible itinerary for my honeymoon to Spain. We were looking for a good mix of culture, food, and relaxation and she delivered on all fronts. She was easy to work with and really listened to our wishes in making recommendations.
All the private excursions that she arranged were excellent. At some point during every tour our guide received a message from our agent checking in on how everything was going. We felt very well taken care of during our honeymoon and very thankful for all the assistance Valeska provided in making this dream vacation come true.
