Day 1

| Madrid

Welcome to Spain! Join up with your new crew tonight over your first group dinner in the metro magic of Madrid. Tomorrow will be a whole world of discovery, so you'll be thankful for your hotel sleep.

Meals: Dinner

Day 2

| Pamplona

The first leg of our Iberian road trip kicks off this morning as we travel north in search of Burgos and Pamplona.
Burgos - We couldn't race to our night's stop-off point without letting you marvel at the pretty medieval town of Burgos first. For real, just wait till you see the gorgeous town square.
Pamplona - Our next stop is the colourful Pamplona. We’ll start with a brief orientation tour of this well-preserved town, and then you'll have some free time to explore on your way.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 3

| Pamplona

Rise and shine, Spanish explorers! Two cities await us today, but not until we’ve had breakfast.
Bilbao might get bragging rights to being an up-and-coming cultural hub of Spain, but that hasn't diminished its uber-laid-back spirit. Home of one of the world’s most famous museums, the Museo Guggenheim, you're free to use your morning to play art critique and absorb Bilbao's pretty surroundings and architecture.
Next stop, San Sebastián! This is a pretty postcard town where cobbled lanes slope towards pristine beaches. Take a walk, do some shopping or just sit and chill in a bar, enjoying endless plates of pintxos (the Basque version of tapas).
Our day ends where it started in Pamplona, where you’ll sleep soundly with a head full of modern art-themed dreams.

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences:
Day Trip to Bilbao
Home to world-famous art museums and architecture that’s grander than grand. Today you’ll have plenty of time to explore Bilbao, taking in the mountains and the skyscrapers.
Day Trip to San Sebastián
Where beer to admire the sunset than on the beautiful beaches of San Sebastián? This resort town is known for its fantastic food too – so make sure you’re hungry!

Day 4

| Barcelona

This morning we spread our wings and take metaphorical flight once again, this time in the direction of Zaragoza with an end goal of none other than bustling Barcelona.
Zaragoza – A colorful cathedral & traditional Spanish churros will set our hearts aflutter in Zaragoza, as we roam the casco (old town) soaking up historic architecture and good vibes aplenty. Even the pit stops are amazing on Contiki.
With 2-nights in Barcelona, you'll be pronouncing Barcelona's C with a "tech" like a true local by the time we make tracks. Before enjoying dinner at a local restaurant, we'll kick things off with an orientation tour.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Included Experiences:
See the Sagrada Familia
We’ll check out the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s world-renowned masterpiece. Work began on the church in the 1880s and while it was technically never finished, it’s still a wonder.
Eat Dinner at Mescladis (MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience)
Enjoy an included dinner at Mescladis – a non-profit about social cohesion, doing their bit to enrich coexistence, with rights and opportunities for all.

Day 5

| Barcelona

Today is up to you to explore your way. You could take a wander through the colorful buildings & gardens of Gaudi's iconic Parc Güell or beach lovers could head to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

Meals: Breakfast

Day 6

| Valencia

This morning you’ll have the chance to join a guided bike tour of the city, before getting ready for a change of scene - the port city of Valencia is calling, where beach meets culture in the happiest way possible.
Valencia - It’s hard not to be enchanted by Valencia. With one night here in the land that invented paella it would be crazy not to sign up for an optional paella-making class tonight with the crew. Who's in?

Meals: Breakfast

Day 7

| Granada

It's been short but sweet, Valencia, and we won't forget you. This morning we'll take an orientation walk before seeking the very different vibes of Granada. How are all these places in just one country?
Granada is brimming with romance and offers an eclectic mix of Arab and Spanish feels only to be found in Andalusia. This is one place you may never want to leave!

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences:
See Valencia’s Cathedral & Miguelete Bell Tower
Stand in awe of this medieval wonder. It’s said to be the home of the Holy Grail

Day 8

| Granada

We start the morning with free time to explore. You can fill yours by opting for a guided tour of the Muslim quarter of Albaicin & the Capilla Real, and while you're at it, fill up on some of Granada's incredible food, like its famous Arab pastries. This afternoon we head to Spain's number 1 visited attraction, the Alhambra Palace. We'll discover the breathtaking beauty and history of this Moorish Palace, with its intricate patterns and detailed architecture that will leave you spellbound, and wondering why you haven't been here sooner. To top it off, Alhambra offers the best views of the city. Feel the Spanish rhythm and style by opting for a traditional flamenco and tapas night with your Contiki family. Que Bueno!

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences:
Tour Alhambra with a Local Guide
Probably the most Instagrammable palace that’s ever existed. Tour this Moorish marvel with an expert.

Day 9

| Madrid

Bouncing out of bed should be no problem this morning, given the scenic adventures we have planned today en route to Madrid.
Synagogues, churches, and medieval buildings sit atop the hill town of Toledo. We'll uncover the city's gothic cathedral, the famous Renaissance sculptor, painter, and architect El Greco’s house, and the site of sieges, revolutions, and treason. Just another pit-stop in our life in glorious Spain.
Here we are, back where the party started. You're free to spend the evening your way tonight and Madrid's nightlife is pumping, so grab some tapas, sangria, and your dancing shoes for a night out on the town.

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences:
Explore Toledo
This medieval city is a cultural melting pot, with a mix of Spanish, Arabic, and Jewish influences. Get some pics of the Alcázar Fortress and the Gothic Cathedral.
