Spain

Mallorca coves, Madrid tables and the Andalusian south

Families·Couples·Food & wine
The brief

Spain, slowly — Andalusian whitewash, Balearic coves and the long Madrid evening.

From the Moorish palaces of Granada to the secret coves of Mallorca, Spain rewards the traveller who stays for the late dinner. We design itineraries that pair a city (Madrid, Seville, San Sebastián) with an island or a paradores route through Extremadura.

The Balearics carry summer. Mallorca for the family villa, Menorca for the quiet, Ibiza for the friends. The Costa del Sol holds the Marbella set in winter sun.
