I was born in Barcelona and I have lived in Australia, Singapore and the USA for the last 10 years. How unique, interesting, and memorable it is when you have a local to show you their place.
Spain is relatively unknown. Blame it on the Spanish. Although Spain receives a great many tourists each year, a great many of those are seduced by a lowest common denominator..the Sun.
Sure..the Sun is great and warms your weary body. But we want to give you something more, an authentic memory away from the well trodden tourist track.
If all you do is browse our site we hope it will inspire you to find the Spain that calls your heart.
We'd love to have you stay and let us fulfil this promise.. to "deliver an authentic memory for you to take home".
"To be surprised, to wonder, is to begin to understand" Jose Ortega y Gasset

Health. We know many of you take your active lifestyle as just that, a lifestyle. Some people don't want to lose the results of all their hard work in 7-10 days of culinary classes and afternoon siestas. So we work with special interest groups to design and develop vacations that meet the right balance of physical pursuits with culture and gastronomy.
Spain is a country of spectacular contrasts, a natural stage to play out whatever your sport of choice should be. Spain is the 2nd most mountainous country in Europe, with peaks over 11000 feet made for cycling, and skiing, contrasted with green rolling hills and valleys for golf, or deserts and extinct volcanoes for trekkers and climbers.
Here you can ski all winter, water raft the strong flowing rivers in spring, and yes, there are 2000 miles of coast with amazing beaches for sailing, windsurfing, and fishing.
