Barcelona

Cataluña is the region occupying the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula. It has a strong national identity, with a unique culture and language of its own, and with six million inhabitants, it is the second most populated region in Spain. Flanked by the Pyrenees Mountains and bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, it is home to some of the most popular destinations in Spain—most notably its capital city, Barcelona. During the four-day tour you will stay at the center of the oldest part of the city. This will be your launch pad to see UNESCO World Heritage sites like the massive Sagrada Familia, feast at a picnic in nearby Girona, ramble through the cobblestone streets of Barrio Gotico, and feel the mist from a city boat tour.

You will stay at a centrally located hotel and spend four days discovering the artistic and historic charms of Madrid.
