Historical Spain Tours

At Road Scholar, our historical Spain tours teach you about the rich historical and cultural heritage of various cities and regions. Some of the top highlights of our Spain small-group tours include:

• Seville: As the capital of the Andalusia region, Seville is known for its cultural heritage, vibrant atmosphere, and history. On our Spain escorted tours to Seville, you can discover a wide range of unique landmarks, such as the Alcázar of Seville, which blends Moorish, Renaissance, Gothic, and Baroque architecture styles, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another highlight of Seville is the Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world that houses several chapels, altars, and the tomb of Christopher Columbus. One of the reasons Seville is a frequent stop on our Mediterranean tours is the blend of relaxation and excitement. Along the way, you can attend a traditional bullfighting match at the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza and enjoy tapas culture at lively tapas bars.
• Madrid: Madrid is the largest city in Spain and a frequent destination on our multi-country tours. As a dynamic and cosmopolitan metropolis, Madrid has a rich cultural heritage, serving as a primary cultural hub with museums, theaters, and art galleries. On our Spain adventure tours to Madrid, top highlights include the Royal Palace, which serves as the primary residence of the Spanish Royal Family with stunning Baroque architecture, and the Prado Museum, which houses an extensive collection of European art from the 12th to 20th centuries.
• Granada: Spanish tours aren’t complete without a stop at the southern European destination of Granada. This Spanish city is known for its stunning architecture and relaxing atmosphere. Alhambra Palace is Granada's most popular attraction. It is a palace and fortress complex with stunning Islamic architecture, intricate tilework, and exquisite courtyards. It also serves as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Granada also has beautiful historic neighborhoods, such as Albaicín, a medieval Moorish quarter with narrow winding streets, and Sacromonte, famous for its cave houses and ties to the Roma community.
• Catalonia: The Catalonia region of Spain is an autonomous community in the northeastern quadrant of the country with a distinct cultural identity. The Catalan people take pride in their language and cultural traditions. If you’re considering exploring Europe in a week, a stop in the Catalonia region is a must. On our Spain tours to Catalonia, you can visit the capital city of Catalonia, Barcelona, one of Spain’s largest cultural, tourist, and economic hubs with unique architecture from artists like Antoni Gaudí, the designer of works like the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló.
• Estepona: Another stop on some of our Spanish tours is Estepona, located on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.
