SPAIN

The rain stays mainly in the plain and the Spanish festivals and fiestas are everywhere. When they rev up, the country offers streets carpeted in flowers, the running of the bulls, concerts, and ballet in the gardens of the caliphs.

Bethesda Travel Center offers custom packages that include the most memorable areas of Spain. Our trips typically last between 12 and 17 days. If you have more time to spend, we can create a more exotic or relaxing vacation.

You’ll see not only the most historic places, but you’ll lodge and see events that only the most savvy of European travelers can find. That’s why you should try our travel favorite.

You probably know about paella and sangría. World-famous. But the Spanish cuisine is created by contemporary masters who are as daring and celebrated as any on the planet.

You’ve heard about the Guggenheim Museum that has transformed Bilbao, but let us tell you about Gaudí and the modernista architects who made Barcelona as visually arresting a city as any in Europe.

Madrid has over fifty museums and a palace with 2,600 rooms. Spain has tropical islands, hidden hill towns, and Roman cities. The mountains have snow past Spring and the nightclubs thump on past dawn.

Let us help you find the special places in Spain, and a vacation that balances the countries’ cultural diversity and its relaxing way of life.

Our mission is to consult with you and custom-design your trip so that you find total ease of logistics, an imaginative travel plan that incorporates learning and culture, is memorable, relaxing, and fulfilling, and is matched by the financial value. Each of our trips is designed for you.

It’s a lot, but something we’ve come to master over the last 40 years.
