Barcelona, Madrid, Andalusia and More!

Join us for an enchanting journey through Spain’s vibrant landscapes, rich history and captivating culture. This exclusive small group tour, led by Kari Richardson, is designed for travellers who crave authentic experiences and lifelong memories. From the bohemian allure of Barcelona to the Mediterranean charm of Málaga, prepare for an unforgettable adventure with a great group of likeminded women soon to be your best friends.

Begin your journey in the bustling city of Barcelona, renowned for its unique blend of ancient and modern architecture. Wander through the shadowy lanes of the Gothic Quarter, marvel at the fantastical creations of Gaudí and soak in the lively vibe of the city’s grand markets and tapas bars.

Next, explore Madrid, where medieval mansions and royal palaces stand alongside world-class art galleries. A day trip to the hilltop fortress city of Toledo will transport you back to the 16th century with its rich historical ambiance.

Continue south to Andalusia, Spain’s most vibrant region, known for its vibrant culture, dramatic scenery, and architectural wonders. Visit the magnificent Mezquita in Córdoba, the immense cathedral in Seville, and the fairytale-esque Alhambra in Granada.

Stay three nights in each of our chosen locations, allowing ample time to soak in the evocative atmosphere and enjoy leisurely meals over tapas and traditional dishes.
