Discover Spain
In Spain, the concept of la vida buena—the good life—is a driving force. Richly layered cultures thrive here among sweeping landscapes that inspired Cervantes, Dalí, and Hemingway. The jagged cliffs of the Costa Brava spill into the Mediterranean. Sun-kissed white villages and Moorish castles laze under Andalusian skies. Lively traditions and cuisines embody the robust beauty of Basque country. On a VBT Spain bike tour, you’ll find that the good life is the best life as you slow down and experience Spain to its fullest.
From the mind-bending architecture of Gaudí in Barcelona to the world-class galleries of Madrid that play home to masterpieces by Goya, Picasso and other iconic Spanish artists, Spain’s cities are an art lover’s dream. The sprawling Alhambra in Granada, the otherworldly spires of La Sagrada Familia that have been under construction for over a century in Barcelona, Cordoba’s unparalleled Mezquita—the seemingly endless wealth of cultural attractions is almost overwhelming.
Equally expansive is Spain’s famed cuisine. From tapas shared with friends in a casual bar to a five course meal in a Michelin-starred restaurant, there’s a wealth of flavors to be discovered throughout the many regions of this gastronomic paradise. Whether you’re sampling fresh pressed olive oil or sipping wine in a centuries-old cellar, your tastebuds will never be bored on a Spain bike tour.
Country Highlights
- Explore beautiful Pamplona and enjoy the weekly juevintxo event, a Thursday-night feast of tapas.
- Peek into the personal life of artist Salvador Dalí during a visit to his home at Púbol Castle.
- Explore the famed Alhambra Palace, a breathtaking architectural wonder.
- Follow trails on the Way of St. James, an 800-km stretch of path used by pilgrims.
Spanish Art
Explore the surreal Dalí Theater and Museum in Figueres, wander the seemingly endless halls of the Museo del Prado (which houses over 8,600 paintings and 700 sculptures), or take a leisurely stroll in Gaudí’s Park Güell. In Spain art is all around you, as are the remarkable landscapes that inspired these masters.
Flamenco
Take in a Flamenco performance or try your hand at this traditional style of dance. Evocative, passionate, and mesmerizing, this iconic art form is a must see while in Andalucia, its region of origin. Since the 18th century, locals and visitors alike have been entranced by the beauty of Flamenco music and its beautiful dance accompaniment.
Food and Wine
Paella in Valencia, gazpacho in Andalucia, patatas bravas in Madrid… Spain’s cuisine varies from region to region, but is invariably delicious and rooted in local produce and traditional recipes. Sample olive oil on a family farm or partake in a wine tasting in an ancient cellar to further your appreciation of the finer aspects of Spanish cuisine.
