✨TRIP OF THE WEEK ✨

9 Day Tastes of Catalonia, Spain🇪🇸

Spain has so much to offer, and this trip is a wonderful way to experience a part of the country that is rich in history, beautiful architecture, charming coastal towns, and incredible food!

One thing I especially like about this itinerary is that you spend 7 nights in Girona, so you're not constantly packing and moving from hotel to hotel. You get to settle in, explore the region, and enjoy a nice balance of guided sightseeing and time to discover things on your own.

You'll visit some pretty incredible places along the way!

🇪🇸 Barcelona – See Gaudí's famous Sagrada Familia and explore the colorful Park Güell.

🇪🇸 Girona – Wander through historic streets and visit the beautiful Girona Cathedral.

🇪🇸 Cadaqués – Discover one of the prettiest little coastal towns along Spain's Costa Brava.

🇪🇸 Figueres – Visit the fascinating Dalí Theatre-Museum, dedicated to the famous surrealist artist.

And of course, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy the local cuisine, culture, and slower pace of Spanish life!

Here's another reason I wanted to share this one:

‼The trip is currently being offered from $2,299 per person (regularly $2,699)‼

That includes round-trip airfare from New York to Barcelona, 7 nights of accommodations, 9 meals, guided sightseeing, and more!

✈️ Other departure cities are available.

📅 Travel dates are available February–December 2027, with select dates offering the lowest advertised price.

If you've been thinking about visiting Spain but aren't interested in changing hotels every couple of nights, this might be a great fit. I really like trips that give you the opportunity to experience a destination without feeling rushed.

If you'd like more information, just send me a message. I'm always happy to talk travel!
