Hola!When you do a job you love, the years seem to fly by.

It only seems like yesterday that my Father and I started our small Travel Agency business in 1984 selling flights and holidays to Italy.

In 2006, using all our contacts and local knowledge gained over the years, Typically Italian Holidays was born. Our mission was to sell authentic holidays using family run hotels that offer great, traditional service and treating our customers as friends and not just guests.

After 8 years of Typically Italian our valued Travel Agents wanted us to offer the same authentic experience in Spain, so using local guides and Tourist Boards I visited Spain with my team and Typically Spain was born.

To this day and at the age of 88 my Father still comes into the office on most days and we discuss how we can help you make the most of your Spanish Holiday with authentic experiences like Tapas Tours, Wine Tasting, Walking tours and cookery experiences. We want you to enjoy our holidays, your way in 2017

Because we want you to have the best advice and service our holidays can only be booked through a travel agent so when you are ready to book please call or speak to the travel agent who supplied this brochure and I’m sure they will be delighted to help you create your perfect Spanish Holiday.

Adios

What is a Parador?The majority of Paradors are set in buildings of historical significance such as castles, palaces, convents, monasteries, fortresses and hospitals, all painstakingly restored and converted into hotels that meet and exceed the demanding requirements of travellers in the 21st century. However, a sizeable number of Paradors are country houses and contemporary hotels, set in tremendous landscapes inland in the mountains and on the coastlines, also with their own style and character.

In 1928 ‘Paradores de Turismo’ was launched with the opening of the Parador de Gredos. Today this Parador still stands as the emblem of the Parador’s concept, complemented by 93 other prestigious sites located strategically across the country in superb settings to facilitate tourism to every corner of Spain.

Today Paradors are proudly and fondly regarded by Spanish and International guests as remarkable places to stay and a true experience of Spanish hospitality and cuisine.

Let’s fly...There is an extensive range of services to Spain from more than 20 UK airports, with flights ranging from as little as two hours. Ryanair, EasyJet, Monarch, Flybe and Jet2 have the highest frequencies, concentrating on the beach resorts of the Costas. Easyjet and Ryanair also operate to many of

the cities and are joined by Iberia and British Airways.

Let’s drive...A drive to Spain can either be a leisurely trip taking several days, or it is perfectly possible to reach Northern Spain in a day from the Western Channel Ports. The route you take largely depends on your final destination, as well as your

departure point in the UK.

Spanish rail...Travel by rail in Spain is an easy and comfortable option,

thanks to the rail network throughout the country.

Please note Spanish trains are not bookable until 90 days prior to departure.

It’s easy to travel from the UK to Spain by train, a morning Eurostar to Paris takes just 2½ hours, then in the afternoon double-deck TGV Duplex to Figueres

(home of the amazing Salvador Dali museum), Girona and Barcelona. To anyone who has only known the

stresses of airports, flights & motorways, chilling out on a high-speed train is a revelation ... it’s far more

environmentally-friendly, too.

Andalusia is probably one of the best known parts of Spain for holidaymakers, famous for its sandy beaches, year round sunshine and its cosmopolitan Costa del Sol. However, the landscape is also the most varied of any region in Spain and you can do practically everything from windsurfing on the windy Atlantic coast to skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Once one of Spain’s poorest regions, Andalusia now has an excellent infrastructure, with good roads, telephone lines (for those who can’t leave the laptop at home!) and a good public transport system between main towns. Service in the bars and restaurants is excellent and off the beaten track you will find some of the friendliest people in Spain, where astoundingly not speaking each other’s language is never a problem.

CórdobaThe walls of the Mezquita dominate Córdoba, while the cobbled alleyways in the old Jewish and Muslim quarters, flanked by overflowing pots of geraniums, are a delight to explore.

The main reason to visit Córdoba is to see its spectacular mosque. Then, take a walk through the atmospheric streets of the Judería, stopping en route in a bustling bar for tapas. The Museo Arqueológico contains important finds from the local area and the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes has works by Murillo, Zurbarán and Goya. The Moorish Alcázar has an impressive evening sound and light show in summer. And don’t leave without taking to the waters in the Hammam Baños Arabes.

GranadaThe Moors made Granada the grandest city in Andalusia in the 14th century. Their magnificent Alhambra Palace remains one of Spain’s most popular monuments, keeping Granada firmly on the tourist trail.

On the opposite hill to the Alhambra is the Albaicín, the oldest part of town, with narrow streets, Arab tearooms and great views, while back in the centre, the Capilla Real is the burial place of the Catholic Monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel. Granada is forever associated with the writer Federico García Lorca, who was born in the village of Fuente Vaqueros.

CádizCádiz stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay and is almost entirely surrounded by water. Named Gadir by the Phoenicians, who founded their trading post in 1100 BC, it was later controlled by the Carthaginians, until it became a thriving Roman port. The old city looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares. The golden cupola of the cathedral looms high above long white houses and the whole place has a historic air. It just takes an hour to walk around the headlands where you can visit the entire old town and pass through some lovely parks with sweeping views of the bay.

Jerez de la FonteraJerez de la Fontera, well known for its wines, its horses and its flamenco, preserves a historic centre that has been declared a historic artistic site. One of the noblest towns in Cádiz brings together the splendour of aristocratic palaces with the popular flavour of typically Andalusian houses. Features that are shown off every year at the celebration of the Horse Fair, declared of International Tourist Interest. A visit to one of the city’s wine cellars will help travellers to get a deeper understanding of its winemaking tradition.

RondaThis town in the Málaga region sits on either side of the Tajo del Ronda, a narrow gorge more than 150 metres deep. Its old town has been declared Property of Cultural Interest. Celts, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs all inhabited these lands, which were re-conquered by the Catholic Monarchs. The historic quarter, reminiscent of the Arab age and with a medieval layout is scattered to the south of the Guadalevín, while more modern Ronda, the part which sprang up after the 16th century, unfolds to the north of the course of this river. Several bridges unite the two halves of one of the most interesting towns on the route of the Whitewashed Villages, in the heart of the Ronda hills, only a few kilometres from the Costa del Sol.

AlmunecarAlmuñécar is an attractive coastal resort town that is particularly popular in the summer with Spanish holiday makers. The interesting seafront promenade is divided into many sections by the small coves and headlands that are typical of this part of the Costa Tropical. There are also several longer beaches, all with great facilities making them perfect for families.

But Almuñécar also has a long history, going back to the year 800 BC, a date when it was founded by the Phoenicians as a trading colony. From this period you can visit a necropolis and a salting works.

Chiclana de la FronteraJust inland from the coast Chiclana sits on a small hill overlooking the marismas (salt marshes). The town dates from 1303, when King Fernando IV of Castille gave the land to Guzman El Bueno, the defender of Tarifa, who was succeeded by the Duques de Medina Sidonia.

Novo Sancti Petri, a new seaside residential development on the coast just to the south-west of Chiclana, has become the town’s summer resort.

Nearby there are two beaches: Playa de Sancti Petri and Playa de la

Barrosa, both of which have been awarded a blue flag by the European Union for their high standards of cleanliness and excellent facilities.

Conil de la FronteraConil de la Frontera is one of the more popular holiday destinations on the Costa de la Luz.

Located to the south-east of the province of Cadiz, this is a rich and natural fishing-shore, whose greatest appeal lies on its vast, white beaches, and its cliffs. Conil de la Frontera’s main industries are fishing and tourism. Its origins date back to the Recon quest, and from its monumental heritage we must point out the Tower of Guzmán, a military fortress from the 14th century; the Baroque church of Misericordia, from the 18th century; and the church of Santa Catalina, rebuilt in the 19th century. In recent years the town has experienced a boom in the tourist industry, thanks to its magnificent beaches.

RotaRota, an ancient town, situated in a privileged position at the extreme north of the Bay of Cádiz.

The town opens out to the Atlantic Sea and coastline, with two national parks behind: the Natural Park of the Bay of Cádiz and the Doñana.

The old town inside its ramparts has almost a medieval atmosphere.

Rota is not a major tourist centre but it does boast some very fine beaches. In all there are sixteen kilometres of beach. The major beaches are the Playa de la Costilla, Rompidillo, Playa de la Ballena and Punta Candor. The Playa de la Costilla and Punta Candor have both been awarded blue flags by the European Union for their high standards of cleanliness and facilities.

Also being on the Atlantic coast Rota is a good venue for windsurfers.

MojacarThe Moorish old town of Mojacar is perched high on a hill looking down on 17kms of unspoilt beaches. From a distance the town looks like a traditional Andalusian sugar cube village clinging to the sides of the hilltop.

Sandwiched between the mountains of the Sierra Cabrera and the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, Mojacar is the largest and most popular tourist centre of this south-eastern corner of Spain.

The captivating town has whitewashed ancient buildings and is a labyrinth of winding cobbled streets, alleys and romantic courtyards. The old town affords magnificent views to the mountains, sea and Taberna desert.

Mojacar Playa situated below the ancient village provides a completely different atmosphere; a modern lively resort town which has been tastefully developed in keeping with the traditional feel of the area, boasting 9 kilometres of sandy beaches and great facilities – restaurants, traditional bars, shops, villas and apartments line the seafront.

NerjaSheltered by the impressive Sierra Almijara mountain range, this once sleepy fishing village is now one of the most popular tourist resorts along the coast, with a population of over 12,000.

One of the town’s most impressive attractions is the Balcón de Europa (the Balcony of Europe), a wonderful promenade, stretching along the edge of a soaring cliff top, which was once the location of a Moorish castle. The platform has spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline, with its backdrop of mountains.

The deep Andalusian culture that the town exudes, perfect climate and cosmopolitan atmosphere, has made Nerja one of the most attractive holiday hotspots on the Costa del Sol.

Nerja has more than its fair share of fabulous beaches, boasting 16 kilometres of beaches with powdery sand and sparkling clear and calm water, and a splattering of small coves.

It is located in eastern Spain, in the centre of the Region of Valencia and on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The capital is the city of Valencia, which is also the regional capital. Its rich artistic and historic heritage includes particularly the Silk Exchange, with the World Heritage designation, and the ground-breaking City of Arts and Sciences. The city is also the scene of the spectacular Fallas midsummer bonfire festival, declared a Festivity of International Tourist Interest. This same distinction has been awarded to another of the festivities in the province, the Tomatina tomato battle in Buñol. Also recommended are a visit to the attractions of the towns of Cullera, Gandía, Requena, Sagunto and Xátiva. Its natural attractions include over 100 kilometres of coastline, with beaches with fine golden sand. It has two nature reserves and numerous spaces for enjoying sports in the open air; the districts of Los Serranos and El Rincón de Ademuz are of particular interest. The local gastronomy is best known for rice dishes such as paella, and other typical products are horchata (tiger nut milk) and water from Valencia.

MorairaMoraira is one of the towns that make up Teulada-Moraira, 80 kilometres from Alicante. It is a traditional fishing harbour, at the centre of 8 kilometres of coastline, with fine white sand beaches such as Portet or L’Ampolla, and small coves like Andragó or Cap Blanc. For a large part of the year, its Mediterranean waters are excellent for sports such as sailing and scuba diving, thanks to its special microclimate: the average year-round temperature here is 18ºC.

Moraira is an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts, offering a range of signposted tracks and trails, such as those of Font Santa, Benimarco, Castellons, and Cap d’ Or, with beautiful views out over the bay.

AlcoceberAlcoceber on the Costa del Azahar is sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sierra de Irta mountain range. The town is laid out below the Sierra de Irta, enjoying 10 kilometres of beach and sand dunes. It’s a beautiful place to visit. The nature reserve of Sierra de Irta is an excellent location for ramblers who are rewarded with spectacular views and scenery. There are 10 kilometres of coastline to enjoy in the area around Alcoceber. Las Fuentes beach is the most visited and aptly named, Las Fuentes (The Source), as it is where fresh water emerges and joins the sea. At the Carregador and Romana beaches you will find sand dunes covering an area of 6,000 m². There are numerous other coves and beaches and plenty of areas to explore along the coastline.

As with the vast majority of Spanish costal towns and cities, a healthy Mediterranean seafood and fish menu is the main diet of the area. Predominantly served with rice the fruits of the sea served in Alcoceber are particularly fresh and delicious. The town also, due largely to Arabic influence, has a strong tradition of producing confectionery.

AlicanteAlicante is centrally located on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. There is nothing as pleasant as strolling along the quayside promenade lined by four rows of palms, tessellated with marble in Alicante red, cream and black in imitation of the waves of the Mediterranean.

Alicante looks towards the sea, and does so from its famous Paseo de la Explanada, one of the most beautiful seafront promenades in Spain.

The mild Alicante climate makes beach-life accessible practically all year round, and there are plenty of fantastic beaches to choose from: La Playa de San Juan, with seven kilometres of golden sand flanked

by a road enabling you to stop wherever you want. La Albufereta, an intimate, residential stretch of sand, protected by the headland of the Serra Grossa, El Postiguet located almost within the city itself, at the foot of the Benacantil mountain, next to the port and Los Saladares, lying south of the city, in the area known as Agua Amarga.

AlteaAltea is without doubt one of the most charming towns to be found on Spain’s ‘White Coast’, located in the region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The town is just 11 kilometres north of Benidorm, yet the two resorts are worlds apart. Altea is similar to other Costa Blanca towns in that it has a new and an old neighbourhood. The old section is perched on top of a hill from where you will find really spectacular views.

All in all Altea is a pretty town, popular with both holidaymakers and those fortunate enough to be able to live in the area.

Altea has excellent amenities; however, if you want all-night discos and bright city lights on your holiday, give Altea a miss. This town is a holiday haven for the more discerning tourist who will be captivated by its medieval cobbled streets, its picture book old quarter and the delights of its palm-fringed seafront promenade.

The ascent to the old section along steep slopes and stepped streets reveals a broad horizon at every turn and extends along the entire La Marina region.

CalpeCalpe has a wonderful mixture of old Valencian culture and modern tourist facilities. It is a great base from which to explore the local area or enjoy the many local beaches. Calpe alone has three of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the coast. Calpe is dominated by the towering rock of Ifach which reaches an impressive 332m, rising almost sheer above the sea and is a nature reserve.

When it comes to sightseeing, the ancient town centre, next to the Moorish quarter is a good place to start. The old town walls and the church known as Iglesia Vieja are well worth visiting. This church is the only remaining example of Mudejar-Gothic architecture within Valencia.

PeniscolaPeniscola or Peñiscola often referred to as the Gibraltar of Valencia lies in the province of Castellon on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a fortified seaport built on a rocky headland attached to the mainland and rest of the town by a narrow strip of land.

The name Peniscola derives from the Latin peninsular or peninsula.

Peniscola has sumptuous beaches, the finest of which is the north beach, which is around 5 kilometres long. This calm beach is perfect for swimming and sunbathing and is fully serviced by lifeguards and leisure activities such as volleyball, sailing and canoeing as well as being wheelchair friendly.

VillajoyosaLocated at the northern end of the Costa Blanca in the Alicante province, Villajoyosa (La Villa Joiosa) is the capital of the Marina Baixa district. A delightful and historic town, it stretches the length of a lovely wide, sandy beach, with pretty coloured fishing houses running along the seafront and is encompassed with a backdrop of mountains.

Villajoyosa is set at the mouth of a river, which sweeps into the Mediterranean Sea. Three kilometres of wide, golden, sandy beaches form part of the local coastline. The local beaches are popular with water sports enthusiasts and there are good facilities on the beach.

Alcalá De HenaresThis town near Madrid, birthplace of the illustrious Miguel de Cervantes, author of “Don Quixote”, and home to one of the most prestigious universities in Spain, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Its rich monumental heritage, formed by churches, convents and university buildings, gives us a glimpse of life in Castilia during the Spanish Golden Age.

Walls with four hundred years of history make the perfect place to sample the best of the local gastronomy.

ToledoToledo is one of the Spanish cities with the greatest wealth of monuments. Known as the “city of the three cultures”, because Christians, Arabs and Jews lived together there for centuries, behind its walls Toledo preserves an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of churches, palaces, fortresses, mosques and synagogues. This great diversity of artistic styles makes the old quarter of the capital of Castile - La Mancha a real open-air museum, which has led to it being declared a World Heritage Site.

Santiago de CompostelaDiscover Santiago de Compostela, the capital of the Region of Galicia. Millions of people from all over the world come to this city every year, many of them reaching the end of the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route. Its historic centre has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This is not the only reason to come, however. The Galician capital is synonymous with the Camino, an ancient pilgrimage route, born in the 9th century, that has linked the city with the rest of Europe ever since. Every year many thousands of pilgrims set out on foot, by bike, or even on horseback, to live this experience that combines adventure and spirituality. The final goal is the Cathedral in Santiago, one of the sacred cities of Christendom.

PadronTraditionally, this town’s history is linked to that of the apostle Santiago (St. James).

Situated just 22 kilometres from Santiago de Compostela, this town’s origins are linked to Iría Flavia. This was the Roman city to which the apostle Santiago’s remains were brought from Jerusalem.

OurenseStretching out on the banks of the river Miño is the city of Ourense, which maintains its traditional link to the river through its Roman Bridge. A crossroads, the Old City preserves major historic sites, outstanding among which is the Cathedral.

MondarizMondariz is a small but beautiful, traditional Galician Spa village in a wonderful setting surrounded by mountains and dense woodland. The Balneario de Mondariz is probably one of the best and oldest spas in Galicia and well known throughout the world for the restorative and healing properties of its underground thermal springs.

Mondariz is also renowned for its championship golf course which is located on the outskirts of the town close to the road to Vigo, a few minutes from Mondariz Spa. With its mix of undulating woodland, lakes and breathtaking views looking over the River Tea and surrounding mountains it is challenge to any good golfer.

Galicia in north-west Spain is a land of mysteries and surprises. So with its fascinating cultural tapestry, extraordinary natural beauty and landscapes, remarkable Celtic heritage and Roman legacy it is one of the wonders of the world to get to know, discover and experience!

If there’s such a thing as the perfect combination of culture, nature and gastronomy, then you’ll find it in Asturias. The first thing to catch your attention when you travel to this region, in what is known as Green Spain, is its spectacular scenery. This can be seen in places such as the Picos de Europa National Park and at one of its most legendary sites: the lakes of Covadonga. As well as the mountains, you’ll be able to enjoy beautiful beaches in holiday resorts such as Llanes, Ribadesella, Gijón and Cudillero. These magnificent settings are ideal for contemplating from any of the numerous viewing points or for enjoying a range of water sports such as surfing. Gastronomy in Asturias is synonymous with a total dedication to the cult of good food. Cabrales cheese, the typical Asturian bean stew known as “fabada”, cider made from local apples ... there are a whole host of typical dishes and products that are guaranteed to leave visitors with a delicious aftertaste. Its cultural attractions include a range of important monuments in Oviedo and in the Kingdom of Asturias (the delightful churches of Santa María del Naranco, San Miguel de Lillo and San Julián de los Prados, for example) which have been declared World Heritage sites by the UNESCO, as well as the various archaeological sites, caves and museums of rock art to be found throughout the area, featuring spectacular paintings and engravings dating from as long ago as 25,000 years BC.

AvilesIt is situated on the central strip of the coastline of Asturias, to the west of the cape of Peñas. An old seafaring and farming town, it is now a modern city and a major iron and steel centre, a product of demographic growth and the industrial boom. Avilés is the third major city in the Principality of Asturias. Its historic quarter has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site, since it houses significant gems of civil and religious architecture. Some of the main attractions are the pedestrian streets of Galiana and Rivero, Plaza de España with its City Hall, the old church of Sabugo, from the 13th century, and the modern Santo Tomás de Canterbury.

GijónOn the shores of the Cantabrian Sea, Gijón offers an attractive combination of maritime tradition, monumental heritage and modern urban planning right on the seashore. Its marina is a testament to its close links with the sea throughout its history. It was short listed in the European Commission’s EDEN programme (European Destinations of Excellence), in recognition of its sustainable tourism proposal. Its various major constructions date from the city’s past as a Roman settlement, from its development in the 16th century when the Catholic monarchs decided to install a port here, and from the boom enjoyed by the area at the time of the Enlightenment, primarily thanks to Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos.

OviedoThe former Ovetum has been closely linked to the Asturian monarchy since its foundation (8th century), and even became the capital of the Kingdom. This fact has left an unquestionable medieval flavour in the historic quarter, which in modern times has been given a carefully-considered urban layout which is easy to move around. An exceptional starting point to approach examples of pre-Romanesque art with World Heritage status, the coastline of the Costa Verde, incredible natural landscapes for all kinds of sports and, of course, a first-class gastronomic culture.

RibadesellaThe distinctive feature of the urban layout of Ribadesella is the bridge that divides the fishing port in two, and which every first Saturday in August is the finishing line in most Asturias’ most emblematic festival:

the canoe descent of the Sella River. Its historic quarter has been declared Property of Cultural Interest. The historic town of Ribadesella was founded by King Alfonso X the Wise in the 13th century. It offers visitors an interesting mix of medieval town and Modernist architecture in addition to an outstanding beach area. The town has two clearly distinct parts: the east side with the old part of the city, and the west side, home of the Tito Bustillo cave, one of the treasures of European cave art.

Castile y Leon is the magical “land of the castles” – a land which gave birth to Castilian and the Spanish language, the legendary hero El Cid and Saint Teresa of Ávila.

It’s a place where ancient history, myth and legend have become so interwoven over the centuries that it’s sometimes hard to separate the facts from the fairytales.

It’s a fact that Walt Disney used Segovia’s fairytale Moorish fortress as the inspiration for his famous Sleeping Beauty castle. And it’s also a fact that the region is home to a province which boasts more medieval castles than anywhere else in Europe. Names such as Segovia and Salamanca are enough in themselves to fire the imagination and these extraordinarily beautiful cities generally surpass the expectations of first time visitors. Together with Ávila, these cities have earned World Heritage status along with the Santiago Way – the famous pilgrims’ trail which traverses Castile y Leon en route to the Galician capital of Santiago de Compostela.

SalamancaSalamanca is in the central area of Spain, 212 kilometres from the capital, Madrid. Universal, magnificent, wise, young and golden: this city is an inland destination well worth discovering for many reasons. Its historic centre has been designated a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. This city saw the production of the first Grammar of the Castilian Language in the 15th century, which became a fundamental instrument for its expansion throughout the world. It is also a favourite destination amongst foreign students wanting to learn Spanish. As you would expect, Salamanca is one of the most important stages on the Route of the Spanish Language.

ÁvilaSheltered by the Sierra Gredos Mountains we find Ávila, a World Heritage City. Behind the city walls of this Castile-Leon capital there is a valuable set of churches and Renaissance palaces that bear witness to the past wealth of the town as a textile centre. Being the birthplace of Saint Teresa of Jesus has left its mark across the city, both inside and outside the city walls, with a large number of religious buildings linked to the saint’s life. The European Commission has given Ávila the Access City Award 2010. The excellent roasts and famous Ávila veal cutlet are just part of a rich local cuisine without forgetting the famous dessert of Saint Teresa - “yemas” (sugared egg yolks).

SegoviaSegovia, the old quarters of which, along with its Roman aqueduct, are World Heritage Sites, lies on high ground between the Eresma and Clamores Rivers. In addition to its famous aqueduct, numerous Romanesque churches, the Cathedral and Fortress go to form this magnificent landscape that presides over this part of Castile. Its modern Parador Hotel is one of the best places for the visitor to savour the city’s most traditional dish: roast suckling pig. Moreover, Segovia is an excellent starting point to tour the province and visit to the La Granja Palace, as well as the Gorges of the Duratón River Nature Reserve, among other attractions.

LeonThe Pulchra Leonina, the Sistine Chapel of Spanish Romanesque architecture and the old Hospital de San Marcos are the key points of this former Roman encampment. Over the course of time, León became the capital of the kingdom in the Middle Ages, a historic enclave on the Pilgrim’s Road to Santiago de Compostela and a city perfectly suited to its inhabitants. The incredible natural landscape of this province will take us to the Picos de Europa National Park, the area of Las Médulas (a World Heritage Site) and the winter resort of San Isidro.

ValladolidThe historic centre of Valladolid, the city on the Pisuerga River, is home to an interesting collection of Renaissance architecture comprising houses, palaces and emblematic buildings such as the Cathedral, the College of San Gregorio (today the site of the National Sculpture Museum) and the church of San Pablo. The city has an intense cultural schedule thanks to its status as a university town, and hosts events such as the Seminci, the International Film Festival and one of the highlights of the Spanish film calendar, and the International Street Theatre and Arts Festival.

BurgosBurgos is situated in the Pilgrim’s Road to Santiago de Compostela; it still preserves important vestiges of its medieval splendour. Aside from a visit to the historic quarter, you can take a quite interesting walk along the banks of the Duero and Arlanza rivers. Great places to approach a delicious, varied cuisine.

But beyond all doubt, the architectural masterpiece of Burgos is the cathedral, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Erected on top a Romanesque temple, the cathedral was built following a Norman French Gothic model.

You’ll also find several restaurants run by some of the standard-bearers of the new Spanish cuisine. And if you’d like something delicious to drink, why not try any of the wines from the Rioja Alavesa region? Also worth a special mention are its beautiful coastal destinations with such well-known places as San Sebastián, Zarautz and Getxo, as well as inland cities such as Vitoria and Bilbao. This last location is home to such innovative buildings as its Guggenheim Museum, which has received international acclaim. Don’t miss it, or the spectacular Vizcaya suspension bridge, with the UNESCO World Heritage designation.

GetariaGetaria is located on the coast of Guipuzcoa. It is a gorgeous fishing town, and the birthplace of distinguished figures, such as Juan Sebastián Elcano and Cristóbal Balenciaga. Getaria is located 30 kilometres west of San Sebastián. During the Middle Ages, and later also, when harpoons were still thrown by hand, the people from this village were whale hunters, as the local coat of arms (a whale with a harpoon stuck on its back) depicts.

Vitoria-GasteizVitoria-Gasteiz, founded towards the end of the 12th century, is today a city of exceptional urban design. The Basque capital has a medieval city centre, in which it is possible to find countless places of great traditional flavour, such as Plaza de la Virgen Blanca (White Virgin Square) and historic buildings like the cathedral of Santa María. From here, the city harmonically unfolds into the Romantic new suburbs, a network of wide avenues, gardens and buildings that are a reminder of the grandeur and stateliness of Vitoria.

LaguardiaLaguardia is the most important town in La Rioja of Alava, and one of the most beautiful. The region is famous all around the world because of its wines and because it was the birthplace of fabulist Samaniego. La Rioja of Alava has a perfect climate for farming the wines that give this area its well-deserved fame. It is also an area with numerous archaeological sites, Palaeolithic remains, as well as Roman and medieval artefacts.

San SebastianThis city, also known as Donostia, lies along a white sandy bay between the Urgull and Igeldo hills. Fishermen’s houses, a smart suburb and modern districts make it one of the most attractive cities on the Cantabrian coast. The Museum of San Telmo, the Peine del Viento (the Wind Comb) and the Kursaal are examples of how the city brings together modern and traditional features. Meanwhile, the province of Guipuzcoa, of which San Sebastián is the capital, blends sea and mountains, offering the traveller landscape, sports and cuisine, as well as interesting monuments. Basque cuisine has a recognised international prestige.

GetxoGetxo is located 20 kilometres from Bilbao city centre, and bathed by the Cantabrian Sea, with a unique landscape flanked by beaches and cliffs that make it an exceptional destination.

Getxo’s beaches are considered one of the town’s great attractions and they attract numerous visitors from all over the Greater Bilbao area. Getxo’s beaches have been awarded the European Union Blue Flag.

Going out to eat pinxtos in Euskadi is one the best ways of getting to know its culture and its people, where groups of friends come together to chat and enjoy themselves. When out trying pintxos the custom is to accompany them with some of the following drinks: Txakoli (fruited white wine), cider (typical in Euskadi), Rioja wine or a zurito (a small glass of beer).

The medieval kingdom of Navarra has an abundance of monuments and its capital, Pamplona, hosts the world-renowned San Fermín fiesta. Navarra is a land of diversity, from the Pyrenees, to the flat arid lands of ‘La Ribera’ in the South.

The Pilgrim’s Way passes through Navarra, starting at the legendary site of Roncesvalles in the north and ending at the noble town of Vianna in the south west.

The world famous Fiesta de San Fermin begins on the 7 July every year. The early morning encierros (running of the bulls) are a prelude to the afternoon corridas (bullfights), this fiesta has many planned surprises, including a huge fireworks display every night – and many impromptu ones.

This region has a varied gastronomy; exquisite meats, tasty vegetables from the market gardens of La Ribero are accompanied by the excellent wines of the area.

In Navarra, culture and nature merge. Roman towns, Romanesque churches, gothic monasteries and cathedrals, medieval towers and walls make up the history of this Kingdom.

PamplonaOn the fertile plain of the river Arga sits Pamplona, a city full of history and deep-rooted traditions. The streets and squares of its historic quarter still preserve a significant collection of monumental buildings dominated by its churches and medieval walls.

Pamplona is a city in which tradition and modernity live in harmony. A visit to Pamplona, capital of the Navarre region, should begin in the “hamlets”, group of districts of medieval origin representing the seed from which today’s city grew. In the centrally located Plaza Consistorial square stands the majestic Baroque façade of the Town Hall.

OliteIt is a Historic-Artistic Site where traces of a Roman and Gothic presence can be found in its walled enclosure and in the splendour of the medieval court of Carlos III in its castle palace. It has two medieval churches: Santa María, Gothic from the 13th century and which has a beautiful façade and a magnificent reredos, is situated partly inside the palace, where it was once the chapel; and San Pedro, the oldest in Olite, with a Romanesque façade and cloister.

RoncesvallesIn the northeast of the Navarre region and 47km from Pamplona is Roncesvalles, the point of departure for modern pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. A centre of religion and monuments, prominent among the historic-artistic heritage of Roncesvalles is the collegiate church, in which its magnificent church and the image of the Virgin, both in the Gothic style, are outstanding; the church of Santiago, which is also Gothic, and the Espíritu Santo, which is Romanesque, as well as its interesting museum and the old hospital of Itzandegia.

Covering the area from the Pyrenees in the north to the Mediterranean in the east and the Ebro valley in the southwest, Catalonia offers diverse scenery and attractions.Catalonia is arguably the region of Spain with the strongest identity. The area is best known for three things: the ski resorts of the Pyrenees, the holiday resorts of the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada and the painter Salvador Dalí, who lived in Portlligat and whose work can be seen at the Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres. The charming city of Girona is home to the former world’s best restaurant, El Celler de Can Roca. Tarragona is noted for its Roman remains while Port Aventura is one of the largest theme parks in Europe. Montserrat is one of Spain’s most spiritual sites.GironaThe so-called “City of the Four Rivers”, shows us a historic centre dominated by medieval buildings and reminders of Romans, Arabs and Jews. Inside the walled enclosure of “La Força Vella” you can find the culminating works of its historical destiny. The town’s excellent position between the Pyrenean chain and the Costa Brava makes a multitude of trips possible, for example, to natural areas which are worthy of mention. Everywhere, the traveller will have the opportunity to try the regional cuisine which brings together in its recipes products of the sea and the mountains.BegurIn the southern coast of Baix Empordà we find the town of Begur. In this sector of Costa Brava, mountains dive into the Mediterranean sea, forming small coves and sandy beaches among rocky cliffs. Pine forests go all the way to the shore, surrounding the town of Begur, which is only a few kilometres away from the sea. The historic quarter, a very traditional, colourful place, is dominated by the ruins of an austere castle built on rocks, which dates from the 15th century. The ancient fishing quarters, by the beach, have become important residential and tourist areas, these include Aiguablava. A number of small secluded beaches can be found within 5 minutes drive.CambrilsCambrils is a seafaring village where life revolves around the harbour, in which the most prominent feature is an old defence tower. The town has an area of detached houses sheltering below a castle. It is the old fortress of the Baron of Vilafortuny, which nowadays is a holiday centre. Before crossing the promenade, near the sea, there is a signal tower known as the Telégrafo de l’Esquirol, which in times gone by was used to establish communication with other parts of the coast by means of flags and lights. From the harbour, a path which follows the Garbí watercourse leads

inland into town. It is worth stopping at the sanctuary of El Camí, with a crypt and an adjoining watchtower.Sant Antoni de CalongeCalonge is situated on the Costa Brava, and has two main areas: Calonge, inland, and Sant Antoni, by the sea. Outstanding in the town are its Medieval castle (12th-13th centuries), Sant Martí Church and Càlcul Street. It dates back to prehistoric times, as can be seen from the dolmens and menhirs in the area. The Roman village of Castel Barri is also important. It is one of the largest archaeological sites from the Roman period. Work began on the castle in the 8th century and it is one of the largest fortresses in the region. The castle, along with the Lloreta and Valentina Towers, are especially outstanding buildings.There are also many walks you can do around the town, while the good climate and coastal winds make water sports possible all year round at its beaches and hidden coves. Prawns are the town’s most characteristic dish, and should be tried without fail.SitgesLocated between the sea and the mountains, the city of Sitges (which belongs to Barcelona) offers a wide variety of leisure activities to visitors. The Coast of Garraf, on the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains, provide a beautiful natural setting to this town.The interesting historic quarter, with an extensive cultural calendar, complements the luxury compounds, golf courses and marinas right next to the beach. The cuisine from Sitges gathers the most representative Catalan dishes and creates exquisite recipes like “xató”.BlanesOnce a small fishing town, Blanes still retains some of its original charm; the resort boasts a four-kilometre stretch of coastline with wide sandy bays and small rocky coves, most of which are well served with water sports and other tourist facilities.Moving away from the seafront you’ll find evidence of a town steeped in history, with ancient monuments, churches and buildings still standing as reminders of Blanes’ colourful past. The medieval castle of Sant Joan still looks down on the town as it has done since the 13th century.The beaches are the main attraction for the vast majority of tourists to Blanes; the sandy beaches and coves, with the incredible backdrop of mountain scenery, make this a perfect beach holiday location. There is a promenade running the full length of the 4km beach strip with many terraces, restaurants and bars.

The nightlife is very laidback and will suit families and those looking for a relaxing holiday. If you want to enjoy a more upbeat night out then you can visit the neighbouring resort of Lloret de Mar.S’AgaróElegant S’Agaró sits alongside cosmopolitan Platja d’Aro, where a recognised circular route skirts the peaceful streets of the old town. Castell d’Aro is the historical centre, and has preserved all its medieval charm. The main town has many boutiques and makes a great shopping location. Nearby there are opportunities for hacking, hiking and running. The main beach is a long stretch of beautiful sand and there are many further sandy coves and rocky areas to explore.Equipment and tuition for a variety of water-sports can be hired; plus there are diving schools. Santa SusannaSanta Susanna is an attractive resort, situated on a coastal strip often mistaken for the Costa Brava, just 64 kilometres from the city of Barcelona and with all of the wonderful beaches, bays and facilities of the Costa Brava nearby. Its narrow cobbled streets still retain a medieval charm, and there are dotted ancient buildings and monuments, which each tell a tale. There is a good selection of restaurants serving both local and international cuisine, and the nightlife is enjoyable with some great bars and pubs, suitable for families and couples. The old town comprises of quaint narrow cobbled streets and historic buildings and monuments, yet head down to the seafront and you will be transported into modern living with a wealth of eateries, shops and water sports facilities.RosesRoses is an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. Located in a unique natural environment in the northern area of the Costa Brava, it is less than 30 km from the French border, 65 km from Girona and 160 km from Barcelona.For walkers or mountain bikers there is the Aiguamolls nature reserve, a wonderful natural parkland and animal sanctuary stretching up from the coast to the Pyrenees Mountains. The fantastic Water Fun Park of Aqua Brava in Roses is great for families, plus you can try your hand at skydiving, boating, sailing and karting are available.

Malaga

The Gibralfaro castle casts a watchful eye over this warm-hearted and lively city full of attractive sites such as the Alameda Principal avenue and the La Farola seafront promenade. Its status as the capital of the Costa del Sol has made it one of Spain’s foremost holiday destinations, thanks to its mild climate, its beaches and its outstanding offer of golf courses.

In the centre stands the Cathedral (16-18th century), also known as ‘La Manquita’ (‘the one-armed’) thanks to its unfinished right tower. Historic Malaga offers a whole host of typical sites and corners. These include the façade of the Town Hall, dating from the early 20th century, and the Plaza de la Merced square, presided by the monument to Torrijos and the site of the house in which the famous painter Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born. A walk around the old quarter has to include the busy streets of Pasaje de Chinitas and Calle Granada, the site of the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Calle Larios, the main thoroughfare in the historic centre.

Madrid

Mad

The charm of the old quarters, the exquisite sierra light, the superb art collections and the vibrancy of the long, long night: these are a few of the attractions of Madrid, the capital of Spain.

Spain’s capital city has plenty to offer visitors of all tastes and budgets. World-class art collections in the Museo Del Prado, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Michelin-starred restaurants like El Club Allard and the designer shops of Salamanca cater for those who like the finer things in life. Then there are the historic cafés and bars around Plaza Santa Ana, the breath of fresh air that is the Parque Del Retiro and the city’s vibrant nightlife, including the happening gay quarter of Chueca. The Plaza Dos de Mayo is a reminder of Madrid’s turbulent past.

Strategically located in the geographic centre of the Iberian Peninsula at an altitude of 646m above sea level, Madrid has one of the most important historic centres of all the great European cities. This heritage merges seamlessly with the city’s modern and convenient infrastructures, a wide-ranging offer of accommodation and services, and all the latest state-of-the-art technologies in audiovisual and communications media.

The historic centre, also known as the “Madrid of Los Austrias” (in reference to the Hapsburg monarchs), and the spectacular Plaza Mayor square – inaugurated in 1620 and one of the most popular and typical sites in Spain – are a living example of the nascent splendour of the city in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Art and culture play a key role in Madrid’s cultural life. The capital has over 60 museums which cover every field of human knowledge. Highlights include the Prado Museum, one of the world’s most important art galleries; the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, with over 800 paintings ranging from primitive Flemish artists through to the avant-garde movements. And the Reina Sofía National Art Centre, dedicated to contemporary Spanish art and containing works by Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí and Juan Gris, among others.

Madrid’s extensive and beautifully maintained parks and gardens – like the Retiro park, formerly the recreational estate to the Spanish monarchs, the Casa de Campo and the Juan Carlos I park – offer inhabitants and visitors the chance to enjoy the sunshine, stroll, row on its lakes or feed the squirrels, in one of the greenest capitals in Europe.

But if there’s one thing that sets Madrid apart, it must be its deep and infectious passion for life that finds its outlet in the friendly and open character of its inhabitants. Concerts, exhibitions, ballets, a select theatrical offering, the latest film releases, the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of the best Spanish and international gastronomy, to savour the charms of its bars and taverns ... all these are just a few of the leisure options on offer in Madrid. There is also a tempting array of shops and businesses featuring both traditional establishments and leading stores offering top brands and international labels.

Lying on the Mediterranean coast in north-east Spain, some 260km (160 miles) from France and a distance of 625km (390 miles) from Madrid, Barcelona is Spain’s second-largest city and the capital of Catalonia. A vibrant, dynamic city, always on the move but passionately guarding its heritage, Barcelona offers everything from Gothic treasures and traditional dances to trendy bars, innovative architecture and gorgeous food. It is no surprise that emblematic constructions by the Catalan architects Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Doménech i Montaner have been declared World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO.

The city’s origins are Roman, and its long history and economic dynamism have made Barcelona a cultural city, which can be seen in the historic-artistic heritage and the promotion of the most innovative artistic trends. A wide cultural programme will take visitors to museums, exhibitions, open-air sculptures… and many concerts, plays and dances.

Popular culture also has its manifestations in this city, which still conserves its most cherished traditions, like the fiestas of La Mercè or the festivities in the neighbourhoods of Gràcia, Sants and Poblenou. These are all exceptional opportunities for getting to know the city’s more festive side.

Tradition and modernity can also be seen in its innovative and imaginative gastronomy, based on fresh garden produce, fresh fish, a wide variety of sausages and olive oil. Traditional handmade cakes and pastries and sparkling wines are some of the other highlights in this brief overview of Barcelona’s gastronomic culture.

Strolling around the streets of Barcelona will bring surprises at every turn. Pedestrian streets in the old quarter, green spaces, and a splendid seafront with a range of modern facilities are a reflection of its multi-faceted character. Barcelona has cleverly succeeded in embracing its past without forgetting its commitment to the future. Its exceptional transport connections, the Mediterranean climate and the multitude of attractions for visitors make Barcelona one of the world’s leading business cities

ValenciaValencia is best known for its Las Fallas festival in March, its ceramics and its futuristic City of Arts and Sciences. Since 1982, the third largest city in Spain has been feverishly reinventing itself – laying out wide new avenues and investing in daring architectural projects. The cathedral was started in 1262 on the site of a Moorish mosque but it is a mix of styles, with most parts dating from the 14th–15th centuries. The Museo Nacional de Cerámica, housed in the astonishing Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas, is a gem of a museum and among its treasures it has hundreds of glorious glazed tiles (azulejos) for which the city is famous. The city’s major art collection, at the Museo de Bellas Artes, has paintings by Bosch, El Greco, Goya and Velázquez, and a definitive collection of 15th century Valencian art.

However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

We provide full financial protection for our travel arrangements that do not include a flight by way of a bond held by ABTA The Travel Association.

4. Your Holiday Price1) We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our

brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that youwish to book before your contract is confirmed.

2) When you make your booking you must pay a deposit of £180.00 perperson. Should the travel arrangements be on a low cost carrier or on arestricted saver ticket the payment for this part of your booking will be duefor payment in full at time of booking (any cancellation or changes toticketed flights will result in a full loss) and will alter the deposit due. Thebalance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 12weeks before your departure date. If the deposit and/or balance is not paidin time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paidin time we shall retain your deposit. All monies you pay to the travel agentare held by him on our behalf at all times. Payments made directly toBritaly Travel Ltd made by MasterCard, Visa, American Express will incuran additional processing charge of 2%.

The price of your travel arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on15/08/2016 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.10

The Price Policy The price of your travel arrangements may vary due to changes in transport costs, including the cost of fuel, scheduled airlines and other cost

changes which are part of the contract between the airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates. Government action, such as VAT and other changes mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure.

In the case of a small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges will be absorbed or retained. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more that 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges.

We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the change mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

5. If You Change Your BookingIf, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change yourtravel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date oraccommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may notalways be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writingfrom the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be askedto pay an administration charge of £20.00 per person, per change, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that thesecosts could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are madeand you should contact us as soon as possible.

Note: Certain travel arrangements (e.g. flight tickets purchased from low cost carriers or restricted tickets) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

6. If You Cancel Your Holiday You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent on your behalf must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs incancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay the applicablecancellation charges up to the maximum shown in clause 7.

Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.

7. If We Change or Cancel Your HolidayAs we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Changes If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. In some cases we will also pay compensation (see below). These options don’t apply for minor changes. Examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in the brochure may be subject to change. Cancellation We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 8 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached. If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). In some cases we will pay compensation (see below).

Compensation If we cancel or make a major change we will pay compensation as detailed below except where the major change or cancellation arises due to reasons of force majeure. The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.
