From Barcelona, Across the Peninsula
You've probably had the trip where the cities were right, the hotels were right, the days were counted out correctly — and you still came home with nothing specific to say about it. The itinerary wasn't the problem. The guide was generic, the pace was someone else's, and nothing you saw required you to be there in particular.
These experiences depart from Barcelona through Spain — Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid, the Mediterranean coast — and some extend into Portugal. Expert local guides lead each route, some are official, some are specialists, all chosen for the depth they bring.
A trip worth describing afterward starts with a route worth choosing on purpose.
