Catalonia can be visited year-round. Many associate Spain with the summer sun, but August can be hot and crowded. It is certainly quieter around mid-June or September, when the weather is pleasant.

Begin your journey in Barcelona, one of Spain's most exciting and diverse cities. Art and architecture lovers will not be disappointed as Gaudí, Picasso, and Miro have all left their mark on this enchanting city. Towering Miro sculptures appear from nowhere, Gaudí's Park Güell offers respite from the summer sun and his iconic masterpiece, the Sagrada Família, is not to be missed. Lichtenstein graces the marina while Picasso has his own museum.
Spend three nights in the heart of the city with the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona’s fascinating architecture right on your doorstep. After exploring the city and soaking up its vibrant culture, join a local chef for a cooking masterclass. You’ll have the chance to visit two of Barcelona’s most celebrated markets before learning how to create traditional Spanish and Catalan dishes. After eating your fill of paella and classic patatas bravas, it’s time to venture north to enjoy the delights of rural Catalonia.
