Begin in Barcelona, the capital of the Catalonia region and a center of modern design and cutting-edge cuisine. During comprehensive private touring, discover Gaudi's fantastical structures such as the Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo and Parc Guell.

Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange other activities in Barcelona, such as cooking lessons, Jewish touring, tickets to soccer matches, visiting favorite family attractions, private yacht charters and foodie tours.

One day, enjoy a round of golf at Real Club de Golf el Prat, a golf club on the outskirts of Barcelona that regularly hosts the Spanish Open.

Continue by high-speed train to Madrid, the capital of Spain, which is known for its elegant squares, stately architecture, leafy boulevards and world-class art museums. During flexible private touring, visit renowned museums such as the Prado Museum, Reina Sofia National Museum or Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and also tour the majestic Royal Palace. Stroll through favorite neighborhoods, beautiful parks, and exclusive shopping and residential districts. Also visit historic squares and lively food markets, including the gourmet San Miguel Market. One evening, enjoy a private tasting tour of some of Madrid's most beloved tapas bars. Other touring options include visiting the flea market, seeing the bullring or touring smaller museums. Upon request, additional experiences can be arranged such as cooking lessons, tickets to soccer matches, a behind-the-scenes tour of Santiago Bernabeu Stadium or insider shopping tours.

Next, take the high-speed AVE train to Malaga, a historic port city on the Mediterranean Sea. During a private tour, see highlights such as the Roman theater, ruined Alcazaba and museum dedicated to local hero, Pablo Picasso. Continue by private transfer to an upscale waterfront resort in Marbella, a fashionable beach town on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol. One day, take a private excursion to Ronda, a renowned whitewashed village built on the edges of a dramatic gorge, and enjoy hiking or biking in the area.

One morning, enjoy a round of golf at Real Club Valderrama. Considered one of the best golf courses in Europe, it hosted the memorable 1997 Ryder Cup, the first year Tiger Woods played in the prestigious tournament.

Testimonials

This was truly the trip of a lifetime…In New Zealand, all six of us caught trout, went horse riding, helicoptering, jet boating…all the while being cared for by the most wonderful people ever.
~ P.F., Gwynedd Valley, PA

Peru was absolutely outstanding. Our guide gave me the encouragement and help I needed in climbing to the very top of Huayna Picchu – an accomplishment of which I will always be thankful!! 
~ P.C., Smyrna, GA

We had a wonderful time in Asia!!! Highlights in Indonesia were the airplane view of the volcanoes on Java, walking each level of Borobudur by ourselves with no one else around, the trek to Selogriyo and its breathtaking terraced rice fields…
~ T.T., New York, NY
