The Alluring Spirit of Spain

Spain is a country that dances to its own rhythm—a harmony of vibrant festivals, stunning architectures, and delectable cuisine. From the bustling streets of Madrid to the serene beaches of Costa Brava, there's something for every traveller. Solo vacations to Spain offer more than just sightseeing; they provide an opportunity to immerse oneself in the very essence of Spanish life.

Captivating Destinations for the Solo Explorer

Barcelona: A Blend of Culture and Creativity

Barcelona is a mosaic of modernist art and architecture, with the iconic works of Antoni Gaudí painting the skyline. Walking down the bustling La Rambla or exploring the labyrinthine alleys of the Gothic Quarter, women travelling alone will find both inspiration and a sense of community in this cosmopolitan city. Don't miss visiting the Sagrada Familia and the surreal Park Güell, which portray the whimsical spirit of Gaudí's genius.

Seville: The Heartbeat of Andalusia

Seville is famed for its flamenco rhythms and historic landmarks. Solo travellers will feel the vibrant pulse of Andalusian culture as they explore the magnificent Seville Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar. The city's lively tapas bars offer a culinary journey where sharing a meal becomes an act of storytelling and connection.

Unique Cultural Experiences

To truly understand Spain, one must engage with its customs and traditions. Consider joining a walking tour of Spain's famous wine regions, where local guides unveil the secrets of Spanish viticulture. For a deeper dive into local culture, partaking in a cooking class to master the art of making tapas or paella can be both educational and fun.

Practical Tips for an Enriching Journey

  • Embrace the Siesta: Adjust to the Spanish lifestyle by embracing the afternoon siesta. It’s not just about rest, but a way of life.
  • Learn Basic Spanish Phrases: While many Spaniards speak English, knowing a few key phrases can enrich interactions.
  • Safety First: Spain is generally safe, but as with any travel, remaining aware of one's surroundings is key. Trust your instincts and enjoy the journey.

Culinary Adventures Await

The Spanish culinary landscape is as diverse as its regions. Discover the rich flavours of traditional paella in Valencia or indulge in the celebrated pintxos of the Basque Country. Solo dining in Spain presents an opportunity to engage with locals, often leading to friendships forged over shared plates.

An Invitation to Explore

Whether it's exploring the dramatic cliffs of Galicia or the sun-drenched beaches of Mallorca, Spain invites you to journey at your own pace. Consider joining one of the numerous tours of Spain specifically designed for solo travellers—these are not just trips, but gateways to meeting fellow adventurers and creating lasting memories.

In embarking on solo trips for women to Spain, travellers are not merely visiting a country; they are weaving through its stories, where every city, every corner, whispers of history and beckons with new experiences. Embrace the journey with open arms and an open heart—you never know where the Spanish path may lead you.

If you are looking for the best time to visit, I would recommend Spring and early Fall. The weather wont be too hot and you will be avoiding the peak season where not only does the temperature rise, but there are lots of crowds.

Be wary that lunch and dinner are taken very late compared to North America! And don't expect to just pop into the shops around midday - most of them shut for a siesta break!

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

Everything was planned perfectly. The excursions were so small and personal. Ask for Mark! I have already planned another trip back to the Oregon wine country with Mark. Claire
