Spring, TX, October 8, 2013– Distinctive Travel and Tours is now offering tours of Spain, in addition to Germany, Italy and Switzerland.  Round trip tours of the regions of Andalusia and Catalonia from Madrid and Barcelona can combine shorter tours to make a longer tour.

The Andalusia tours from Madrid, feature the major cities of Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Toledo as well as lesser known towns such as the Celtic town of Ronda. 

These tours offer the chance to visit many of Spain's 44 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including visits of the Mosque and Jewish Quarters of Cordoba,  La Alhambra and Generalife Gardens, the work of Gaudi in Madrid and the old towns of Avila and Segovia.

Lovers of Gardens and Palaces will find many spectacular sites from the oldest royal residence in Europe - Alcazar in Seville with its rich furnishing and the beautiful gardens (worth a visit by themselves), or the Palacio Real  - patterned after Versailles.

In addition to the great sites of Spain, there is the passion of Flamenco, the great art of Spain in the galleries, and the wonderful flavors of Tapas and the Spanish wines.

The tours from Barcelona  include  the Roman city of Tarragona,  the Jewish Quarters  of Girona, the monastery of Montserrat and the varied architecture of Vic.

“Spain is a great off season destination as the temperatures can be milder than other parts of Europe and Spain is a good value for the money.  Sites are less crowded and the shopping is great for linens, leather, silver and pottery.” – Jan Baumgartner, CEO, Distinctiveeurotours.com
