Eighteen days in Spain give you space to explore different sides of the north, from Catalan modernism to Basque fishing towns and inland wine regions.

One route can link Barcelona with the Pyrenees, Andorra, and the Basque coast, combining city stays, guided touring, and a focused self-drive section.

A longer road trip can cross Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, and the Basque Country, using Santiago de Compostela, León, Bilbao, and San Sebastián as key bases.

You can focus on food and wine in La Rioja and pintxos-led cities, build the trip around hiking and mountain landscapes in the Picos de Europa, or follow coastal routes through smaller ports.

These Spain trips are designed by Spain travel specialists, not pulled from a brochure of fixed packages.

Each itinerary is just a starting point that you can tweak, shorten, or extend with our experts to fit your dates, interests, and budget.
