Your trip to Spain will begin in Barcelona, a city buzzing with Spanish culture, delicious food and a thriving eclectic art scene. After a few days of exploring and indulging in amazing art lifestyle and food, head to Menorca, the still undiscovered jewel of the Balearic islands. Here, we invite you to unwind and enjoy the pristine beaches and infinite sea views.
A full week allows you to really dive into the magic of the Cataluña region. While it may be a part of Spain, the unique identity, language, and culture set it apart as a destination in itself.

It’s clear from the moment you step foot in Barcelona that it’s unlike any other Spanish city. The boulevards are wider, the architecture is quirkier, and, if you have an ear for languages, you may hear that the locals are speaking Catalan, not Spanish. Gaudi’s masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, is just one of his architectural gems scattered about the city. With something to offer art enthusiasts, adventurous foodies, and beach loungers, it’s no wonder that Barcelona is one of Europe’s top destinations.
