Nowhere does food and drink quite like Spain, and a wine and tapas tour is the tastiest way to get under a city's skin. In Seville and Granada, you will hop between traditional bars sampling jamón, salmorejo and local wines, sometimes with tapas served free alongside your drink. In Barcelona, guides lead you through hidden vermouth bars and cava haunts, while Madrid delivers the classic tapeo crawl through historic taverns.
From Valencia's paella and horchata to Málaga's sweet wines, every region has its own flavours and its own way of eating out.
About Spain
Spain's food culture changes from city to city, which is why guided tasting tours are so popular. Granada is famous for free tapas with every drink, making it a paradise for tapas crawls. Seville is the heart of Andalusian cuisine, while Madrid offers the widest range of traditional taverns and market stalls.
Barcelona blends Catalan specialities with a buzzing wine and vermouth scene, and Valencia is the home of authentic paella. The best cities for wine and tapas tours are Seville and Granada for classic Andalusian tapas, Madrid for variety, and Barcelona for a modern take on Spanish flavours paired with excellent local wines and cava.

Best time to visit
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are the sweet spots, with warm days, blooming courtyards and manageable crowds; Seville's April Fair and Las Fallas in Valencia (March) are highlights. Summer (July–August) is hot, especially inland in Madrid and Andalusia, but ideal for the northern coast and islands. Winter (December–February) is mild in the south, quieter for city sightseeing, and brings skiing in the Sierra Nevada and Pyrenees.
Getting around
Spain's high-speed AVE trains connect Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and Málaga in just a few hours, making rail the fastest way between major cities. Regional trains and comfortable long-distance buses (ALSA) reach smaller towns. Cities like Madrid and Barcelona have extensive metro networks, and old quarters are best explored on foot. Renting a car suits rural Andalusia, the Basque coast and wine regions, though city driving and parking can be challenging.
