Barcelona, Santiago & Madrid

Barcelona → Madrid 8 days Up to 50

About this trip

Eight days from Barcelona to Madrid, tracing a route through northern Spain rather than sticking to the usual south. Expect a string of different cities and landscapes, from Basque promenades to Galician coastline.

The pace mixes guided tours of the big sights with free time to wander on your own, so you get context without being marched around all day.

A fully guided, easy-paced trip with private rooms, suited to families or anyone who wants the logistics handled while still having space to explore each stop at their own speed.

What you'll do

  • Walk the elegant seafront promenades of San Sebastián
  • Explore the historic centres of Pamplona, Oviedo and León
  • See Santiago de Compostela’s cathedral
  • Wander the medieval streets of Santillana del Mar
  • Sample fresh seafood in Vigo
  • Take in the coastline of Galicia
Good to know
  • You change base frequently, moving through several cities over the eight days
  • Private rooms throughout, with a mix of guided sightseeing and free time
  • Rated easy, making it manageable for families or first-time group travellers
