We think of Spain as having a unique personality within Europe, but actually – it is a country that is home to many diverse personalities. Did you know that Spain actually has four official languages? In fact, language, architecture, cuisine, mentality and culture vary so dramatically from region to region, that visitors traveling to Spain can experience a totally different culture just by traveling a few miles, which – in our opinion – can make for a pretty fun and interesting vacation. For example, Spain's orange-producing, paella-eating Mediterranean Coast differs greatly from the very green, cider-making, Celtic North. Visiting the fashionable capital city of Madrid (a city that never sleeps – trust us) couldn't be more different than relaxing on a turquoise, Costa Brava beach – or hiking the historic pilgrimage "Way of St. James."
Spain offers visitors a multitude of experiences. Experience authentic flamenco in Andalusia. Ski in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Take a day trip to Morocco. Go winetasting in la Rioja. Whitewater raft in the Pyrenees Mountains. Dance in Ibiza. Visit the iconic Monastery of Montserrat. See the ancient Roman ruins of Tarragona. Tour the remarkable Alhambra Palace in Granada. We could go on and on. Allow our Groups Department Team at Europe Express to collaborate with you to customize your group's ideal trip.
