Over this 4-day trip, we would like to welcome you to Spain´s historical and cultural heartland, which even gives its name to the Spanish or Castilian language with our private tour in Castile.
Castile is the region that played the part in the period of Spain´s history which saw the centuries-long clash between Christian and Muslim civilizations, called “La Reconquista”. One of its five Word Heritage Cities is Ávila, an ideal place to explore its narrow streets surrounded by ancient walls.
Salamanca is a magical city, recognized by UNESCO, with extraordinary Plateresque and Renaissance architectural styles. The third oldest university in Europe can be visited here and this high population of students gives the city a special vitality.
Urueña, known as the Villa del Libro, is a village that celebrates books. There are more books than inhabitants between its medieval walls, another example of the cultural importance of Castile.
Castile, located in Spain’s northern plain, has an important agricultural production and is Known for the quality of its livestock. Thanks to this, the gastronomy and oenology of the region are excellent and both will be tasted and enjoyed on this unique Tour.
The Douro Valley is renowned for its wines; you will appreciate some of its thirteen Certified Origin production areas such as Toro, Rueda and Ribera del Duero in select wineries. Our Tour includes some of the best restaurants that offer excelent local cuisine, based on products such as Ibérico Ham. After our Guijuelo Ibérico ham Tour, you will be an expert in the process of salting, curing, drying and of course, tasting!
We cannot overlook another World Heritage Site, the city of Segovia and its stunning Roman Aqueduct as well as La Granja, which was built as a royal retreat to escape Madrid´s harsh summer heat. Enjoy it’s gardens and the water which flows from the mountains.
