Art and History Tours
Spain and Portugal
The Iberian Peninsula has been a cultural melting pot for millennia and offers an incredible heritage of human evolution and culture, reflected in the landscapes, the architecture and of course the artistic representations that illustrate each period.
From the Palaeontology treasures of Atapuerca in Burgos to the cave paintings of Altamira, from the Roman ruins to the Islamic jewels of Andalusia, from the Romanesque and Gothic churches along the Camino to the masterpieces of Velazquez and Goya, from the Spanish Civil war to today´s vibrant life within the European Union…, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the Iberian History.
Most tours will include Art and History subjects as part of the interpretation of the landscapes you travel through, but we love to design and guide specific thematic tours focusing on any historical or artistic period or on the evolution of them and their interactions with the landscapes and culture of Spain and Portugal.
There are some Cultural routes with a fame of its own, such as the Camino or Saint James Way, but there are endless possibilities for creative routes depending on your interests.
