Y Viva Espaa Spain has been a favourite playground of British, Dutch, and German tourists who escape the dreary climates of their own countries for some summer sun by the sea, with copious quantities of sex, and sangria stirred in for good measure. Quite a cocktail for the 18-30 crowd. For the culturally inclined there is plenty of that too. Hemingway made bullfighting popular in America literature, but these are all clichs. Of course you'll want to have paella on the coast, and Spain wouldn't be the same without a little flamenco dancing and intricate guitar. After a few days, you'll even be an expert on the castanets yourself. Several regions in Spain have kept a separate identity, culturally and linguistically. These include the Basques around the Bay of Biscay; the Galicians in north-western Spain; and the Catalans of north-eastern Spain. The nomadic Spanish Gypsies, Gitanos, are a separate ethnic group. Spanish Culture The Roman Catholic religion has played an important part in Spanish life and culture. Spanish painters have contributed greatly to the global work on display in museums around the world. Among the most famous are El Greco, Diego Velzquez, Francisco Goya, Salvador Dal, and the prolific Pablo Picasso. Visit the Prado, in Madrid, for works by El Greco, Velzquez, Bartolom Estban Murillo, Goya, Botticelli, Titian, and Rembrandt. The National Museum of Modern Art, also in Madrid, concentrates on Spanish painting after 1800. And of course the new Guggenheim Museum opened in Bilbao on October 18th, 1997. There are 19 galleries in the building; considered something of a work of art in itself. Madrid Madrid : The capital of Spain lies in the middle of the Castillian plain, 646 metres above sea level.

Menorca Attractions Menorca is a vast open-air museum with a wealth of diverse historical monuments. Of particular note are the Paleo-Christian basilicas and monuments from the Talayotic culture. Formentera Attractions Crystal clear waters and fine sands blend in with an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquillity to make a visit to Formentera an attractive option to get away from it all. Ibiza Ibiza is now world famous.

South America Travel

South America Travel - Abercrombie & Kent Africa & Egypt Antarctica Canal & River Cruising Europe Family Holidays North America India, Orient,    Australia & New Zealand Private Jets Small Ship Cruising South America & Galapagos Circumnavigation of South America Costa Rica, Panama & Mexico Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands Peru Chile, Argentina, Brazil & Uruguay The Royal Scotsman Train E-mail This Page Print This Page Print To PDF A&K On Site In South America Other companies often claim that the independent offices to whom they subcontract their business are “their own offices.” But only Abercrombie & Kent has its own network of local offices, staffed by full-time A&K experts, all around the globe. With five locations throughout South America, there are A&K offices working for you. Imagine the level of service that allows us to provide: A&K is always right at hand to ensure that your journey proceeds smoothly, shaped and guided by people who know and love your destination. The World’s Best Tour Directors While other companies often employ guides who are foreign to the destination you are visiting, A&K Tour Directors reside in and are passionate about the country in which they work. And they are hand-chosen for their knowledge, charm and expertise on a variety of subjects from archaeology, flora and wildlife to politics, geography and current affairs. For example, A&K’s Diana Hidalgo has been guiding visitors through her native Peru and neighboring countries for more than 25 years and brings unrivalled knowledge of Peru’s history, culture and people. By Invitation Only… Our highly experienced team offers you innovative insider’s access in the form of, for example, heralded guest speakers, specially hosted welcome dinners, and private wine and cheese tastings — events often not available to other travel companies and their guests. In Buenos Aires, for example, A&K guests travelling on our escorted programs enjoy a private behind-the-scenes visit to the luxurious 1908 opera house, Teatro Colón, where they also tour backstage and attend costume and stage design workshops not open to the general public. Private Transfers …Any Time Unlike many of its competitors, A&K provides its guests with private transfers whenever you choose to arrive or depart. This allows you the flexibility to arrive early or extend your stay beyond the dates or times of your group program. Most other tour operators offer to transfer you to and from the hotel from one specified group flight. But A&K gives you the comfort, luxury and freedom to plan your trip as you prefer. Any day, any time, day or night. In addition, in Santiago, Chile, A&K has special permission to meet you inside the Arrivals Hall, assisting you with passport, visa and other custom formalities. A More Personal Touch With an average of just 12 to 15 travellers (sometimes even less) and a maximum of 24 on our Connoisseurs Series, A&K groups are small enough to facilitate personal contact among group members, and undivided attention from your Tour Director. These smaller numbers also result in access to quaint restaurants off the beaten track, and discerning hotels that refuse large groups. While other company’s travellers are herded through the streets of Buenos Aires or the Inca relics of Cusco in groups of as many as 40, A&K guests feel as if they are travelling with a small collection of friends. Freedom To Choose Excellent meals ought to be a high point of every holiday. So it’s important to know not just how many meals are included in the cost of your program, but what kind. Must you eat from a set menu, or can you choose what you like? On many competitors’ trips, set menus are the inflexible rule. A&K offers…freedom. Sometimes we’ll take you to spectacular “white-tablecloth” restaurants, or casual waterside bistros. Sometimes you’ll set off on your own with a recommendation to a favorite tapas bar or tango club. In many locations, our popular À La Carte option allows you to dine at your hotel when, where and with whom you choose at A&K’s expense. Receive your Travel Catalogue! Download Now Receive By Mail
