Highlights of Spain: 7 Unique Places To Visit

From cycling along quiet rural roads in Murcia to trekking through the Spanish Pyrenees, here are some of the lesser-known travel highlights of Spain.

 

Andalucia, Southern Spain

From the magnificent Mezquita Mosque-Cathedral set amongst the winding cobblestone back streets and quaint plazas of Cordoba to the ornate Mudejar architecture and stately home of the royals at the Real Alcazar Palace in Seville, the sun-drenched Spanish region of Andalucia boasts a wealth of well-preserved Moorish architecture. In between cultural discoveries, enjoy sumptuous local cuisine including creamy goats cheese and Iberian mountain ham, and walk through the little-visited landscapes of the Sierra de Arcena on our Highlights of Andalucia Tour. 

Camino de Santiago, North West Spain

Follow scallop shell markers as you trek or cycle from the city of Leon to Santiago de Compostela, on this iconic Christian pilgrimage through Spain. A rolling landscape of forested hills, farmlands and quaint villages welcome you to rest and explore their peaceful cobbled streets, thatched houses and historical monuments. 2021 is a rare Holy Year, so get this in your diary for an extra special experience as you pay your respects at the final destination of Santiago Cathedral.

The Spanish Pyrenees, North East Spain

This action-packed family adventure holiday in the Spanish Pyrenees Mountains will have the kids whooping with excitement. Hurtle down white water rapids, abseil rocky cliffs and scramble boulders along the Estaron Canyon. After an adrenalin-filled day, relax by the hotel pool or head to a local restaurant for a delicious spread of Spanish tapas to top up the energy reserves ready for tomorrow's kayaking adventure on the Noguera River!

Canary Islands

With a warm and temperate climate all year round, Spain's Canary Islands are a popular destination for walkers wanting to explore a wide variety of new landscapes. Trek into the lunar landscapes of Gran Canaria, follow clifftop walks on Lanzarote and discover subtropical laurel forest on La Gomera. Furthermore, enjoy the islands' laid back culture, excellent Spanish tapas and pristine gold and black sand beaches.

Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Hike along Mallorca's spectacular coastline and through the unspoilt valleys of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains on our Walking in Mallorca Tour. Clifftop pathways reveal aquamarine coloured bays gilded with golden sand beaches, and inland trails guide us to the peaceful terracotta-roofed mountain village of Esporles. Wander along tree-lined cobbled streets in the hilltop town of Valdemossa and explore the old fishing port of Cala Ratjada. 

Picos de Europa, Northern Spain

Wander beyond the beaten track on our one-week moderate-graded trekking tour through Picos de Europa National Park's unspoilt mountain trails in Spain. A popular highlight is the high, cliff-cut pathways that overhang the Garganta de Cares gorge. And a trip up to the Picos' lush plateau by cable car will reveal panoramic views over rugged mountains and a scenic walk down the glacial Alvia valley to the village of Sotres.
