Included meal: Welcome dinner

Welcome to Spain! Need a little pick-me-up when you arrive? Dive right into Spanish culture with shareable small plates—tapas to locals—like croquetas: crispy, deep-fried rolls with a crunchy exterior and a savory, gooey interior. Wash it all down with an orxata—a sweet, milky drink known as horchata to the broader world but made with tiger nuts in Spain.  

Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers at a welcome dinner, served with beer or wine.
