Welcome to Iberian Adventures - guided, self-guided & custom holidays experiencing the best walking & biking, food & wine, history & art in Spain ! Thanks for visiting our website. We hope it is just the first step of what will be an unforgettable journey to España - one of the world's most beautiful and interesting countries, a land of inspiring landscapes, diverse nature, fascinating history, vibrant culture and warm hospitality. Just to give you an idea of what awaits you, consider this: Spain has more wildlife, protected areas and varied natural environments than any other country in Western Europe, providing superb terrain for all kinds of outdoor activities. The pilgrimage route to the burial site of the apostle St. James, in western Galicia, known as the "Camino de Santiago" was responsible for an incredible pan-Europe interchange of culture and knowledge during the middle ages. The Way of St. James, as it is called in English, has been designated as "World's First Cultural Heritage Route" by UNESCO in recognition of its role in the development of the continent. Today, a wealth of fabulous art, architecture and mystical energy can be experienced by traveling on this ancient trail. Thousands of well preserved ruins, monuments and buildings are scattered throughout the Spanish countryside and in cities, towns and villages - testaments to a past of invaders and inhabitants throughout the centuries - including Romans, Celts, Vandals, Visigoths, Moors, Jews and Christians. Many of these have been declared World Heritage sites by UNESCO - Spain has 38 such sites, the world's 2nd largest number. Spain's large and sparsely-populated rural regions, hardly touched by modern development, are home to age-old traditions and sights long-since disappeared from most of the continent. Velázquez, Goya, Dalí, Picasso, Miró, Gaudí...Spanish giants in the world of art. Cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Bilbao are home to some of the world's finest museums and exhibits of their works. Spain's Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines, and great diversity of terrain and climate have resulted in a rich and varied cuisine that is internationally acclaimed, with Spanish chefs regularly cited as among the world's finest. Spain has always produced excellent wines in traditional areas such as La Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but recent modernization combined with Spanish creativity are resulting in an explosion of consistently top-quality wine from around the nation. This unique setting is the backdrop to the Iberian Adventures travel experience - designed by active people who love the outdoors, history and culture - for people like you ! Come to visit us - and let us show you a different side of Spain - our way.
