Cultural Holidays in Spain

Whilst holidaying in Spain may typically bring to mind relaxing under the hot sun on sandy beaches, there is far more to this diverse country than just the sun and sands of the Mediterranean. Its long, turbulent history has left it a tapestry of different cultures and its beautiful cities are home to an abundance of art, architecture, music and gastronomic delights.

Whether you’re interested in spectacular day trips or longer overland adventures, the possibilities to experience some of Spain’s unique cultural highlights are abundant. You can discover the Moorish legacy in Andalucía and beyond, enjoy the charms and character of the thriving melting pots of Madrid and Barcelona, walk along the Camino de Santiago, discover the iconic landmarks of Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada by train or indulge your creative side with an arty eco-retreat in Southern Spain – there really is everyone whatever your tastes and interests.
