Detailed Description

Prepare for the romantic getaway of a lifetime as you explore Spain's most beautiful metropolitan area. You'll have the benefit of an expert guide to lead you on some of the most adventurous expeditions of each city's highlights.

Culture, adventure, and romance await you on this fun-filled couple's retreat to Spain.

Your trip will begin in stunning Barcelona, Catalonia's capital. You'll soon see the spectacular sites that draw in millions of tourists from around the world each year. Follow your guide on a tailored tour of Barcelona's historic downtown, known as the Gothic Quarter. You will visit highlights like the Placa Reial and Cathedral of Barcelona before stopping to shop at La Boqueria Market along Las Ramblas.
