Take a bite of European cuisine and culture, served by two of the continent’s brightest lights.

Paris has its food. Madrid has its art. But the capitals of France and Spain are just an appetizer for all these countries have to offer. Using them as bookends, this tour will lead you through the wine country of Bordeaux, the Basque Country of Northern Spain, and the open country that superlatives simply can’t describe. Breathe in the coastal bliss of Biarritz, and cross paths with pintxo-hoppers and pilgrims in San Sebastián and Burgos. It’s all enough to fill your cup—but if you find yourself craving a little more of everything, tack on this trip’s three-night extension. One more day in Madrid, followed by two in the seaside city of Valencia? Olé.
