Spain small group trips

March to June and September to November, when days are warm and evenings mild. July and August often pass 40 °C in Seville and Córdoba. Holy Week and the April Fair make Seville busy and expensive, so we check hotels for those dates separately.

Answer for Spain: Madrid, Andalusia and Barcelona

Moderately. Most days involve 5 to 8 km of walking on cobbles and hills, with steep lanes in Toledo, Ronda and the Albaicín and about 4 km of slopes at the Alhambra. No day has more than about two and a half hours of driving, every climb has an easier option, and our vehicle can drop you at the Alhambra gate.

A room of your own is from CAD 1,200 more, about 20 percent of the trip price, and it is a real single or a double for one, not a box room. If you would rather share, ask when you book and we will try to match you with another solo traveller of the same gender.

Answer for Spain: Madrid, Andalusia and Barcelona

Between 7 and 12 guests, never more. That is small enough to hear the guide inside the Nasrid Palaces, sit at one table at lunch and board a train together without a scramble, against the 40 to 50 seats of a typical coach tour of Spain.

Choose a departure and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 5,990 per person sharing, taxes included. Departures go on sale at least about three months ahead, and we book the timed entries as soon as sales open for your date.

No. Canadian, US, UK and Australian passport holders do not need a visa for a stay of up to 90 days in the Schengen area. The EU's ETIAS online travel authorisation is not yet in force and has no confirmed start date; we will tell you if it applies to your dates.

Answer for Spain: Madrid, Andalusia and Barcelona

March to June and September to early November are best, with warm days for walking and long evenings. July and August are hot in Andalusia, often over 40 C in Seville and Córdoba, so we sightsee in the mornings. Winter is cool and quieter, with shorter days.

Answer for Spain and Portugal: Lisbon, Seville, Granada, Madrid and Barcelona

Fit enough to walk 19 to 29 km a day for five days in a row, on farm lanes and forest tracks with short climbs. Train with long walks in the shoes you will wear. Our vehicle meets the group along each stage, so on any day you can ride part of the way and rejoin the group.

Answer for Camino de Santiago: the last 100 km from Sarria to Santiago

A room of your own is from CAD 1,250 more for the whole trip, and it is a real room with its own bathroom, not a converted twin. Solo travellers are welcome; if you would rather share, ask us about pairing you with another solo guest of the same gender.

Answer for Spain and Portugal: Lisbon, Seville, Granada, Madrid and Barcelona

The small group has 7 to 12 guests. A See Sight Tours guide walks every stage with you, and the same driver follows the group from Porto to Santiago with the vehicle and the bags.
