Destinations told one at a time, each with the trip that goes with it — ready to make your own.
Heritage and culture
Córdoba of the caliphs, Seville where the gold of the Americas came ashore, Granada of the Nasrids: three cities that were each, in turn, the heart of al-Andalus. A week from one to the next, through the olive groves, the Subbética and the dolmens of Antequera.
Coast and islands
Between a coast of cliffs and limestone peaks rising twenty kilometres from the sea lies green Spain: painted caves, stone villages, high lakes and cider poured from a height. A week from Santander to Oviedo.
Coast and islands
Coves between the pines, fishing villages turned artists’ refuges, medieval villages inland and, at the very end, Cap de Creus. Six days on a loop from Girona, in the footsteps of Dalí.
Coast and islands
Whitewashed villages clinging to the sierras, a town split in two by a ravine, then the Atlantic, its dunes and the wind of Tarifa. Six days on a loop from Jerez, between the mountains of Cádiz and the wildest coast in Andalusia.
Coast and islands
A coast cut into estuaries, lighthouses battered by the Atlantic, canyons planted with vines and Santiago de Compostela in the middle of it all. Eight days on a loop through the Costa da Morte, the Rías Baixas, the Ribeira Sacra and Cathedrals Beach.
Heritage and culture
A week-long loop from Madrid, on the high plateau of Castile. The trip takes in Toledo, the walls of Ávila, Salamanca, Zamora, the castles of the meseta and the aqueduct of Segovia.
Coast and islands
A rock planted in the sea at Calp, hilltop villages a quarter of an hour from the beaches, palm groves laid out by the Moors and the headlands of the Marina Alta. Five days on a loop from Alicante, between the coast and the mountains inland.
Heritage and culture
A five-day loop from Logroño, through hilltop villages, vines and bodegas designed by great architects. You pass the monasteries where Castilian is said to have first been written down, then follow the Way of St James to Pamplona.
Heritage and culture
A loop that crosses the border twice. It links a coast beaten by the Atlantic to inland villages where the mountains begin at once.
Wide open spaces
The Ordesa canyon beneath Monte Perdido, Romanesque monasteries tucked under cliffs, an outsized international railway station and stone villages with conical chimneys. Six days on a loop from Huesca, on the dry, sunny side of the Pyrenees.
Wide open spaces
An hour south of Pamplona, green Navarre gives way to a semi-desert of clay and gypsum, shaped by rain more than by wind. Two days are enough for the Bardena Blanca, five to circle the desert by way of Olite and the Cinco Villas.
Wide open spaces
Between Soria and Burgos, the Castilian plateau opens without warning onto a limestone canyon where griffon vultures nest. You drive little, you walk a lot, and on weekdays you meet few people.
