Make your way through Northern Spain, trying all the local delicacies along the way with this great 9 day tour from Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela.
Explore the sights, sounds and tastes of Northern Spain on this nine-day food-focused adventure. Immerse yourself in the buzz of street life at market stalls in Barcelona, whip up Catalan specialties in a cooking class and hang out at tapas bars in Logrono.
Then, venture north to San Sebastian, home to beaches and a thriving arts scene, visit a traditional Asturian sidreria (cider house) near Oviedo and taste fresh seafood on the coast in Galicia. With Santiago de Compostela in your sights, your Spanish food pilgrimage is a path worth taking.
- The cuisine of Spain includes a lot of meat and seafood. For vegetarians and vegans we recommend reviewing the itinerary and inclusions to ensure that you’ll be able to fully participate and enjoy this trip. We also have many other trips to Spain which can accommodate a range of dietary requirements.
- Regional public holidays can impact the opening hours of local markets. With many included market tours on this trip, you’ll always have plenty of opportunities to soak up the local ambience. Please contact your booking agent if there is a particular market you don’t want to miss.
- Summer temperatures in the areas visited can be very high (up to 40° C), which can be uncomfortable. It is essential to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability for that season.
- We recommend packing light and smart for this trip as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations and hotels, which can include going up and down multiple flights of stairs, and across cobblestones. Train stations often don’t have lifts available.
- Space is at a premium in Europe and your hotel is no exception. Rooms are often small, but usually the central location makes up for that. For those travelling as a duo, hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together.
