Spain Tours in Winter

The Spanish Wonder tour is a great itinerary and overall introduction to Spain. The added excursions are worth the price of the experience and the tour director made our trip one of the most memorable. We look forward to using Trafalgar in the future.

I wish it was longer, I've done it in Christmas and new year and it was so good since the local people were partying too with us. I wish I've done the other leg of trip too before to see the full Spain.

Excellent trip over Christmas week 2025. La Gomera is a lovely, peaceful, rural island for walking with delicious food as well (and large portions of it!). The walking is reasonably varied with a bit of up and down, but not really demanding. I wish I had taken my poles as some of the downhill after rain was quite muddy albeit nothing serious. Our tour leader, Bert Palmen, was a superb host, guide and organiser and very funny! Strongly recommend this trip.

The whole trip was amazing and very well organized. Everything went smoothly-from the bus transfers and hotel switches, to the city tours. All logistics were clearly explained, which made the journey very comfortable and stress-free. The hotels were excellent. Provided lunches, dinners and breakfasts were very good. City tours were well planned and enjoyable, with plenty of interesting information. The guides were outstanding and truly on top of their job. Ajit and Fabrizio did a fantastic job, and if you have the chance to travel with them, you can be sure the trip will be great. You will also receive a lot of very useful information and tips about all the cities. Overall, everything was excellent, and I highly recommend this experience.

Absolutely fabulous trip. Our trip leader Raquel was superb. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the landscape and led us on many varied walks sharing her extensive knowledge. The trip was well organised with good accommodation and private transport for the most part. It was also interesting to experience the public transport on the mountainous roads and see some local towns and villages. Dining options were good and we experienced both local and world cuisine. The group size was ideal and we were extremely lucky to have a great group of fellow walkers. The grading of the holiday was accurate in our view, with both easier and more challenging elements. It was our first holiday with Explore but will definitely not be our last. Excellent.

A really enjoyable time spent on a beautiful island with a lovely group of people. The walking was quite strenuous as it was mostly climbing up or climbing down but our group leader Bert was very knowledgeable and excellent at managing the whole group so that everyone was happy and safe. It was lovely to be sat in a Square surrounded by palm trees on a warm and sunny Christmas Day having a drink after a day’s walking and it was good to finish with a trip to Mount Teide on Tenerife as we had seen its snow covered peak from La Gomera all week.
