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

Next, fly to the beautiful island of Mallorca. Stay at a luxurious resort with postcard-perfect views of rugged mountains, traditional villages and olive groves. During private touring, explore the historic center of Palma, which dates from the Roman era and is the capital of the Balearic Islands. See highlights such as the Gothic cathedral, city walls, Moorish gardens, the former Jewish quarter, and medieval and modernista architecture. Perhaps browse for locally made Balearic sandals or blown glass, a specialty of Mallorca, and sample local cured meats, cheeses and pastries. Explore ancient villages such as Valldemossa, Banyalbufar and Soller, and see agricultural terraces and waterways that are part of the fascinating Serra de Tramuntana UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perhaps stop for a lunch of fresh seafood in a picturesque village overlooking the Mediterranean or relax on a hidden beach. One day, enjoy a private hiking or biking excursion in the mountains, or continue scenic touring. Depending on the season, also enjoy a sailing excursion along a coastline of dramatic cliffs and coves. Other activities, such as wine tasting, cooking classes, excursions to caves or lighthouses, hot-air balloon rides and private boat charters can be arranged upon request. There will also be ample time to enjoy the resort's extensive leisure facilities, including a spa, tennis courts and two pools.
