TOWNS

WHITE VILLAGES

Explore another side of Andalusia. Tour the white villages, so called because of the white-washed houses. They contrast beautifully with the colourful flowers on the balconies and in the natural surroundings.

FISHING VILLAGES IN NORTHERN SPAIN

On the rugged coast of the Cantabrian Sea you'll find places with a real seafaring flavour. On a tour of the coastline from Galicia (also bathed by the Atlantic Ocean), Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country you'll find beautiful villages built around fishing ports that still provide authenticity.

MEDIEVAL TOWNS

There are so many enchanting towns with cobble streets, castles and fortresses where time seems to have stood still. To trace the footsteps of our medieval past, we suggest a unique route crossing the country from the Basque Country, on the Cantabrian Sea, to Extremadura and the beautiful rural regions of inland Spain.

TOWNS IN THE PYRENEES

Wood, stone and slate are the prevailing feature of the towns located in the Pyrenees, a mountain chain shared by the regions of Navarre, Aragón and Catalonia in the north west of mainland Spain. Time has stood still in these towns nestling amongst great mountains, lakes and glaciers.

TOWNS ALONG THE SILVER ROUTE

Follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers along a route which crosses most of western Spain and dates back to time immemorial. You could take up the challenge and do it on foot or by bike, as a pilgrim along the Way of Saint James, or enjoy the wonderful natural landscapes as you travel along by car or motorbike on what is called the Autovía de La Plata motorway.

TOWNS ALONG THE MEDITERRANEAN

The variety of the natural areas along this coast provides an outstanding setting for anyone with an adventurous spirit and lovers of active tourism. Gliding, climbing, cycling, sailing and exploring the fascinating world beneath the waves. Protected natural areas, delightful coves and the friendly local people are a guarantee of an amazing holiday.

SURPRISING TOWNS IN THE INTERIOR

Spain is best known for the coast, but there are some very pleasant surprises in the interior. The variety of the landscape is the hallmark of so many very special towns and villages which embody a blend of myth and legend, events essential to the understanding of Spain's history and monumental buildings.

TRADITIONAL TOWNS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

Apart from the beaches, volcanic landscapes and the contrast between lush greenery and barren desert, in the seven islands in the archipelago there are also some extraordinary discoveries to be made: traditional hamlets, small towns with white-washed houses and historical town centres with iconic buildings, which tell us all about the islands' history and the friendly, hospitable people.
