There’s something familiar about Spain that draws visitors, who maybe remember a few phrases of high school Spanish or harbor a vague curiosity of bullfighting or siestas. But it’s the staggering diversity—of cultures, languages, cuisines, and landscapes—that keeps travelers coming back again and again. Every barrio and pueblo offers something unique, and the Spain you thought you knew is suddenly full of surprises.

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.
Arrival at Barcelona Airport where you will be greeted at the arrivals terminal and transferred to your hotel.

Stroll through El Born, a small village inside the city of Barcelona where you will find violin makers, designers, retired people playing cards, and young people alike enjoying this unique part of town. Lovers of Barcelona night-life adore El Born at night. Nowadays the area is packed with new bars. In medieval times, El Born was the site of executions and witch burnings!
- This is a recommendation, no reservation has been made by scenset.
Why we love it for you: Cotton House is a special property in the former headquarters of the Association of Cotton House Manufacturers. The iconic building is in every way representative of the XIX century, a period which has marked the spirit and culture of Barcelona.

Check into your hotel and unwind, before you venture out to enjoy this stunning slice of paradise!
Why we love it for you: Simply known as “the Palace” by those who stay there, Hospes Maricel is more akin to an oasis within the city around it. It’s on the outskirts of Palma with easy access to the city center, but all of that seems so far away once you enter the Palace doors. Like a genuine hideaway, the stone walls block out any would-be outside disturbances so you can totally lose yourself in the hammam-style spa, a plate of local seafood, or in the cerulean waters of the Mediterranean.
Mallorca is an island fit for royalty—literally—since the 14th-century palace looming over the capital is still an official residence for Spain’s king and queen. Outside of the medieval walls, the rest of the city has been updated with some of the chicest restaurants, bars, and shopping in the Mediterranean, but the turquoise water and seaside cliffs of Mallorca’s beaches are still just as heavenly as they were centuries ago.
On your first full day in Mallorca, enjoy the grounds of your hotel at leisure to really take in the luxury, scenery and waters.
It's a great afternoon for the beach. You will be in a scenic location on the island just a short distance from the water and beautiful cave formations on the Rocks, so take the afternoon to head to the closest beach, Cala Cap Rocat and take in the sun.

Get ready to enjoy the immaculate azure waters with a glass of sangria at hand, a straw hat and your favorite playlist!
Mallorca wouldn't be done right without a day of cruising over crystal waters, past secluded rocky coves and powder-sand beaches. Spend the morning aboard a private boat and explore the rugged coast, stop at any sandy cove you wish and forget about time and space. Snorkels are available on board for you to use!

This day is yours to enjoy at a leisurely pace and to embrace the serendipity of travel! Choose to lounge at the beach, to enjoy the hotel or to take one of our recommendations below!
The historic tramway in Sóller has a peculiarity that makes it special compared to other urban streetcars: it joins the mountain and sea in a half hour trip, from the valley in the heart of the Serra with the port and the beach. It's a wooden 1900's style wagon, offering not only an experience back in time but some of the most beautiful views of the island.
This train departs from Palma Station or Bunyola Station and takes you through the mountains to Soller. We recommend this in the afternoon for icecream and drinks at Port de Soller.

Rising in honey-coloured stone from the broad waters of the Badia de Palma, this enduring city dates back to the 13th-century Christian reconquest of the island, and to the Moors, Romans and Talayotic people before that. A richly studded diadem of historical sites, Palma also shelters a seemingly endless array of galleries, restaurants, craft studios and bars – it's without doubt Mallorca's greatest treasure. Wander in any direction from the awe-inspiring Gothic Catedral at its geographic and historical heart and you'll find bent medieval streets lined with aristocratic townhouses, looming baroque churches, teeming public squares, vibrant bohemian neighbourhoods and markets overflowing with all the bounty of the island.
- This is a recommendation; no activities have been organized by the scenset.
We recommend watching the sunset at the northern-most point of the island: Cap de Formentor. Watching the colors of the water and the mountains change at the golden hour at Es Colomer lookout point is a moment you will cherish forever
Should you wish to do this, we will be happy to organize transfers for you! The driving time for this activity is approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
