Itinerary

Which treasures lie in the pathways that follow rugged mountains, and through the alleyways of quaint towns with pretty names? This is a journey of two parts. The first: an interwoven ten-day adventure of Northern Spain, bursting with life and brimming with flavours that will stretch beyond your wildest imagination. And second: the discovery of something about yourself – whether it’s a new favourite wine, or a town you’d never thought to visit that becomes your personal highlight. Are you ready for your next chapter?

day 1Bilbao (Spain)

¡Bienvenidos a España! And welcome to our first stop: Bilbao. It’s a city of modern wonder, filled with sleek shapes and futuristic architecture with pieces your mind cannot fathom until you see them with your own eyes. Here is where we’ll meet the group as well as our Tour Leader who’ll guide us through this journey, describing moments from the past that’ve had a lasting impact on the culture we’ll see. Gather for the group’s first meal at a local restaurant – perhaps the city’s famed pinxtos are on the menu!

Exploring La Gomera - 11 Days

5.0(5 reviews)

Experience La Gomera's lush plantations, mountains and whitewashed villages. With free days to relax or explore further, plus 3 nights spent in your private apartment, this is our longest itinerary in La Gomera. The circular walk allows you to fully enjoy this hidden gem of an island and its truly dramatic scenery, all the way from sea level with its exotic banana plantations to the misty ‘forest in the clouds’ that covers the top of the island. What’s more, it includes a visit to the village of Hermigua, idyllically set in the middle of a ravine, which is covered in both sides by countless terraces. La Gomera has survived from the frenzy of development seen elsewhere in the Canary Islands and has retained an old-world rural feel, with homesteads, small vineyards and rocky peaks set in an amazing crown of laurel cloud forest. The island has a relaxed atmosphere and, although you will not come across any hordes of tourists, what you will find is a good infrastructure of roads, amenities and services, as well as a great range of affordable, traditional restaurants and small family-run hotels.
