The graceful terrain, sprawling vineyards, and sleepy whitewashed villages of Spain offer travelers here some of the most pleasurable walking experiences in all of Europe. At once breathtaking, mysterious and wholly engaging, your walking tour of Spain will guide you across quiet farm country, through green and golden grasslands and past of fields of sunflowers that stretch to the horizon.
The unspoiled fields and emerald green hillsides add a shimmering sheen to the Basque country, where you can stroll through the vast olive groves that yield ingredients utilized in the region’s wonderful cuisine. Sample quintessential dishes like bacalao a la bizkanina—salt cod gently sautéed in olive oil and dressed with a sauce of red choricero peppers, or marmitako—the gently spicy stew made from local potatoes and tomatoes, often served with fresh tuna from the nearby Cantabrian Sea.
Spain’s cities offer up their own pageantry, a rich blend of mosque-cathedrals and palaces, lively tapas bars, and raucous flamenco halls where the country’s unparalleled culture of hospitality is always palpable.
