Two weeks drifting around Spain – you’ll be speaking Español before you know it!

Cultured days and raging nights are ripe for the picking.

An epic collision of new-age vibes & tradition, Madrid is going to leave you love-struck.

DAY 3 - Madrid to Bilbao via Segovia
Madrid
The first leg of our Iberian roadtrip kicks off this morning as we travel north in search of Segovia and Bilbao.
Segovia
We couldn’t race to our night’s stop without letting you in on the pretty hillside town of Segovia. We’ll marvel at the ancient bridge of Roman Aqueduct, made up of 166 granite arches, and feel the pang of jealousy at this town’s suite of mansions.
Bilbao
Bilbao might get bragging rights to being an up-and-coming cultural hub of Spain, but that hasn’t diminished its uber laid back spirit. Home of one of the world’s most famous museums, the Museo Guggenheim, use your afternoon to play art critique and absorb Bilbao’s pretty surrounds and architecture. Tonight, you can choose to feast on regional delicacies until you are full to the brim, making sure that going home hungry is not an option. Nom.
Stay

DAY 4 - Bilbao to Pamplona via San Sebastian
Bilbao
Adiós Bilbao! Thanks for a delicious evening in your super cozy, culture buzzing nest. Next stop, ocean hangs.
San Sebastian
What a way to start your day – dipping in the Bay of Biscay. San Sebastian is a postcard town where cobbled lanes slope towards pristine beaches. Take a dip, do some shopping, or sit in a bar eating endless plates of pinxtos (the basque word for tapas).
Pamplona
Although Pamplona may be known for its Running of the Bulls mayhem, that doesn’t interfere with its popularity right through the year. Opt to venture through the well-preserved old town and its incredible gothic cathedral on our walking tour, maybe ending the historical fix with a spot of fresh trout and red peppers – a regional specialty.
Stay
Agustinos Hotel Pamplona (or similar)
DAY 5 - Pamplona to Barcelona via Zaragoza
Pamplona
This morning we spread our wings and take metaphorical flight once again, this time in the direction of Zaragoza with an end goal of none other than bustling Barcelona.
Zaragoza
A colourful cathedral & traditional Spanish churros will set our hearts aflutter in Zaragoza, as we roam the casco (old town) soaking up historic architecture and good vibes aplenty. Even the pit stops are amazing on Contiki.
Barcelona
With 2-nights in Barcelona, you’ll be pronouncing Barcelona’s C with a “tthh” like a true local by the time we make tracks. We’ll kick things off with a walk through the Gothic Quarter & La Rambla district – two of the city’s must-do’s for an instant look at this pretty spot, and a sure way to feel like a local in no time.

And chances are the optional Barcelona Bike Tour should be very high on your Barcelona bucket-list.

Ibiza
Worshiped world wide as the party destination to end all party destinations. Super clubs, super DJs, super strobes like you’ve never seen them before, and that’s just the island’s 3am draw cards. For those that like to take the chilled approach, the island’s beaches need to be seen to be believed. We like to call them heavenly. Ahhh bliss.

Granada
We start the morning with free time to explore. You can fill yours by opting for a guided tour of the Muslim quarter of Albaicin & the Capilla Real, and while you’re at it, fill up on some of Granada’s incredible food, like its famous Arab pastries. This afternoon we head to Spain’s number 1 visited attraction, the Alhambra Palace. We’ll discover the breathtaking beauty and history of this Moorish Palace, with its intricate patterns and detailed architecture that will leave you spellbound, and wondering why you haven’t been here sooner.

Gibraltar
With an English rock (aptly named the Rock of Gibraltar), this English colony can be explored on an optional tour of the rock with our guide, where you’ll see the far reaching landscapes, as well as get up close to the cheekier residents, monkeys or Barbary Apes if you’re wanting to keep it official! Just try and make sure they don’t steal your hat. Visit St. Michael’s Caves, and the ‘Den’ but the views are the jewel in the crown. Utter bliss.
Seville
13th century architecture and one of the world’s biggest cathedrals wait for us in the passionate arms of south Spain’s Seville. Stroll the city’s river and preserve some energy for tomorrow’s day of exploring local haunts and enjoying the balmy weather of this region.

Cordoba
Through the heart of rural Andalusia our journey continues, finally placing us in the old-world feels of Cordoba.
