Towards the north, the Astonishing Spain

Trip duration: 12 days
Madrid - Toledo - Madrid - Santiago de Compostela - Gijon - Santander - Madrid
Visit the centre of Spain and the unknown north. Madrid, the Castilian Toledo and the regions of Galicia, Asturiasand Cantabria, filled with green hills and exceptional beaches.

On this trip you will visit:

- Madrid, another city that never sleeps, you'll always have to decide between three or four different plans. You can visit the Prado museum, one of the most important ones in the world, and take in the pretty sights and the great environment on the streets, bars and plazas. You will discover a restless city.

- Toledo: mystic, mysterious and medieval. Also known as the city of the three cultures since Muslims, Jewish and Christians cohabited here for centuries and all left their mark. You will feel that you're in an open-air museum, there's charm and grace everywhere you look. The narrow, cobbled streets make Toledo seem like a great labyrinth.

- Santiago de Compostela: the land of witches and magic, but also the sacred place for pilgrims as it illustrates the end of the Camino de Santiago. Here you will find a city with a very special atmosphere full of contrasts and people from all over the world.

- Gijón: Asturias' main city. A lively city full of beaches, cliffs and green mountains, Gijón is the perfect place to enjoy the beach, the food and the local cider.

- Santander: another picturesque little city with small palaces, unspoiled beaches and plenty of typical food choices to try.
