The route ties together the city’s Modernista detail and its ongoing architectural change.
Pamplona: The city is home to Cafe Iruña, a favourite of Ernest Hemingway.
San Sebastián: Led by your Local Expert, enjoy a guided walking tour of the Old Quarter including Plaza de la Constitucion.
Burgos: See the cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Segovia: Walk Segovia’s historic centre with a Local Expert who explains how the city developed at the meeting point of Roman, medieval and royal influence. View the Alcázar, a fortified complex documented from the 12th century, and examine the structure of the Roman aqueduct, whose towering granite arches carried mountain water into the city for almost two thousand years.

Since we were not familiar with Spain we chose to take the optional tours. We were glad we did since we saw so much more of Spain than if we went on our own.

Although advertised as easy pace, this tour requires a high level of fitness. Many of the excursions involve a lot of walking to or from drop off points. A number of the tours were up and down steep footpaths.

It was not "Easy Pace". Lots and lots of walking. Most guests were older and found it difficult to keep up.

We were very busy. Not so easy paced. We did chose all but one of the optional tours. All were very good. The food at the Flamico evening was not good. The dancing was excellent. We would have liked more time in the Prado. The guide was excellent
