Green Spain, the North of
Spain, is where the Spaniards go to avoid the crowds of
European tourists packed on the beaches of the South.
Under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, the climate is
more moderate and vegetation is often lush. Green Spain is
traversed by several routes of the Camino de Santiago and
by the Transcantábrico train, and contains some of
Spain's best preserved treasures. The regions that
make up Green Spain have distinctive cultural and
gastronomical traditions.
Camino de Santiago
Enjoy Rioja wine country; El Cid's Burgos; medieval
towns in Old Castile and ancient monasteries; shrine sites
and thatch-roofed Celtic villages as you wend your way
toward the shrine at Santiago de Compostela in
Galicia.
"Bruno Lernout—the best guide! Outstanding. Thank you!" |
El
Transcantábrico Train
The magic of the north of Spain awaits the traveller on an
extraordinary train journey from the very summits of the
Picos de Europa mountain range to the shores of the
Cantabrian sea. Unpack only once--your room travels for
you.
San Fermin in Pamplona
Running of the bulls. Need we say more? Yes, there is more
to see in Pamplona. This year we offer a private tour at the time of the
festival.
These are recommended for inclusion in your customized tour:

These two very different Basque cities offer the visitor
distinct pleasures. Many of our gourmet tours begin, end
or go through those cities.
Basque Fare
Go to the source to find out why Basque chefs and
restaurants are so prized throughout Spain and beyond.
Wines and shrines in Galicia
For a millenium pilgrims have traveled to this remote
northwest corner of Galicia, in Spain, to the great shrine
at Santiago. Today Galicia produces Spain's most
expensive grape, the albariño, and with it some of
the country's most prized wines.
