Wednesday 13 September: Stage 17 - Ribadesella/Ribeseya - Altu de L'Angliru, 124.4km

Primoz Roglic claimed a dramatic queen stage to the mythical mountain pass Altu de L'Angliru, where Jumbo-Visma once again emphasised their dominance, finishing first, second, and third.

Three kilomtres from the finish, the 2023 Giro d'Italia winner attacked with only Jonas Vingegaard able to jump up and stay with his teammate.

The duo crossed the finish line together, 19 seconds ahead of red leader's jersey holder Sepp Kuss .

Kuss narrowly held on to the overall lead, having just an eight-second advantage to teammate Vingegaard. Roglic is in third place, 1:08 behind Kuss. But with the Slovenian having almost three minutes to Juan Ayuso in fourth, a Jumbo-Visma podium sweep in Madrid looks more and more likely.

Jonas Vingegaard rode solo to his second stage win of this year's La Vuelta and gained more than a minute on his biggest rivals for the overall victory.

The two-time Tour de France winner launched a powerful attack with four kilometres to go on the final steep climb, and none of the other GC contenders were able to follow.

Behind Vingegaard, Finn Fisher-Black finished in second place on the stage, with Wout Poels taking third.

Sepp Kuss held on to the red leader's jersey and goes into Wednesday's gruelling summit finish to Altu de L'Angliru with a 29-second advantage to his teammate Vingegaard.

The 2013 world champion launched an attack on the final climb, accompanied by Lennard Kamna and Santiago Buitrago , leaving stage 14 winner Remco Evenepoel in their wake.

In a closely contested sprint, the Intermarche-Circus-Wanty rider edged out Kamna at the line, with Buitrago rounding off the podium.

The General Classification riders finished in the peloton, and Sepp Kuss retains the leader's red jersey heading into the second rest day.

Saturday 9 September: Stage 14 - Sauveterre-de-Béarn - Larra-Belagua, 156.5km

Defending champion Remco Evenepoel salvaged some pride winning the stage in style a day after losing any chances of winning the Vuelta a España.

The Belgian launched a few attacks during the stage, before racing home just over a minute ahead of Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich) in second place. Evenepoel attacked at the top of Col de la Hourcère with Bardet going with him.

He dropped the Frenchman with four kilometres to go for a dominant solo victory making up for the disappointment from the day before which saw him dropping out of the general classification.

Finishing eight minutes behind him in eighth place, Sepp Kuss held onto the red jersey consolidating his overall lead.

Friday 8 September: Stage 13 - Formigal. Huesca la Magia - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7km

Jonas Vingegaard claimed the mountain-packed stage in the Pyreness to Col du Tourmalet on an eventful day in La Vuelta that saw a big shake-up in the general classification.

The two-time Tour de France champion attacked with eight kilometres remaining on the final climb, and nobody could follow.

Vingegaard managed to keep the chasers behind and secured the stage win, with Sepp Kuss finishing in second and Primoz Roglic in third to complete the Jumbo-Visma domination.

Last year's winner Remco Evenepoel was dropped 90 kilometres from the finish on the Col d'Aubisque. The chance of reclaiming the Vuelta crown seems very slim now for the Belgian, who lost several minutes against the other GC contenders.

João Almeida , sixth in the general classification before the stage, also had a nightmarish day, after losing contact to the group of favourites around the same time as Evenepoel.

Kuss held onto the red jersey and increased his overall lead to 1:37. His teammates Roglic and Vingegaard moved up to second and third place on a very successful day for the Dutch Jumbo-Visma team.

Dangerous conditions on the final climb meant times for the general classification were taken just over 2km from the finish with Primož Roglič mistakenly thinking he had gained some seconds on his red jersey rivals. Sepp Kuss retained the overall race lead.

For the first time in La Vuelta 2023 it was time for the sprinters to battle for the stage win. A crash in the final corner of Marijn van den Berg saw Juan Sebastian Molano starting his sprint far out.

Monday 28 August: Stage 3 - Súria - Arinsal, 158.5km

The first summit finish of La Vuelta 2023 in Andorra was a golden opportunity for the general classification riders to test each other's strength. A breakaway of 11 riders was formed after a hard fight to break loose in the beginning of the stage. All riders from the break were eventually caught, after the UAE Team Emirates set a hard pace in the peloton on the final climb.

Defending Vuelta champion, Remco Evenepoel initiated an early sprint in a reduced group of favourites and took the stage victory ahead of this year's Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard and Juan Ayuso .

Evenepoel crashed right after the finish line, but did not seem to sustain any seriuos injuries, as he took over the red leader's jersey. Movistar's Enric Mas is in second place overall, five seconds behind the Belgian, with Lenny Martinez of Groupama - FDJ in third, 11 seconds behind the leader of the race.

"It's always a nice moment when you see the guests enjoying a sangria by the olive groves of Andalucia"

Alexandre, Travel Director

Discover the Old and New Madrid

Get lost in the narrow streets and charming alleyways running off Plaza Mayor. Wooden shops and tavernas pull you in, taking you into spaces handed down through generations. With contemporary architecture and experimental restaurants, anything’s possible in the city of Madrid. The collision point of old and new.

Feel the rhythm and magic of an Andalusian flamenco

No trip to Spain is complete without witnessing an Andalusian flamenco. Emotion, seduction and mystery form into this traditional Spanish dance, making this so much more than just a pastime. Feel the guitar, the heavy clapping, the heart-thumping steps and 500 years of passion in a tablao – the region’s historic enclaves where this dance comes to life. 

View the Bullring in Valencia

Aside from being the centre of one of Spain’s most traditional activities, the Plaza de Toros de Valencia is a commanding example of neoclassical architecture. Look up at the Roman-inspired building and you can almost hear 150 years of crowds roaring through the brick arches.

Admire Gaudí architecture in Barcelona

Barcelona means little without Antoni Gaudí, the 20th century architect whose unmistakable approach to Art Nouveau has made its mark on the Catalan city. Walk past Gaudí’s residence, Casa Vicens, pick out his Islamic influences in Parc Güell and watch history being built at la Sagrada Familia.

Travel to the mountain of Montserrat

Escape the city and venture to Montserrat, the jagged mountain range just outside Barcelona. Here, hike to Montserrat’s highest summit, Sant Jeroni, or take the scenic cable car to the 16th-century cliff top Christian complex of Santa Maria de Montserrat. Sweeping Catalonia views and religious history combine on this incredible experience.

Our top 5 things to do in Spain

Discover Spain with Trafalgar and get to know the intricacies of its heritage through music, dance, religion and architecture. Our trips are filled with both iconic and unexpected experiences, and will cement your love for this country. 

Dali Museum

Walk through the Dalí Theatre-Museum and get a glimpse into the mind of one of Spain’s most famous exports. Designed by the artist himself, this is a building of grand Surrealist proportions, housing decades of Dalí’s works. Enjoy a surprise and new perspective at every turn.

Picasso Museum

Spend at least a few hours at the Museu Picasso, a warren-like building of courtyards and staircases filled with more than 4,000 original artworks. Explore the rooms of five joined medieval mansions, and bear witness to the artist’s broad and varied talent. This is a collection concentrating on Picasso’s earlier, lesser-known years.

Guggenheim Museum

Come for the architecture, stay for the art. Frank Gehry’s most-referenced work of modern architecture has revolutionised Bilbao and is a masterpiece in itself. Dismiss all ideas of what a building should look like and revel in the Deconstructivist design while getting up close to large-scale installations by contemporary artists.

Best museums in Spain

Surrealism, cubism, modern history and expressive architecture, you will experience it all with the museums we visit in Spain. Let Trafalgar unlock the culture of this remarkable country.

Paella Valenciana

Take a seat and immerse in a large pan of Paella Valenciana. The rice dish packed with meat and vegetables is found all over Spain but the original hails from Albufera, on the coast next to Valencia. Eat it straight from the pan with fellow dinner guests for an authentic Spanish mealtime.

A cold soup of raw, blended vegetables may not sound appealing, but Andalusia’s age-old dish is one that you will quickly learn to love. Try history-drenched gazpacho - typically made of tomatoes, stale bread, cucumber and bell pepper - for a light and refreshing option during a hot Spanish summer.

For Catalonians, nothing evokes memories of home like Escudella i carn d’olla. Devour the centuries-old meal over two courses, consisting of a soup of broth with pasta or rice (or both) followed by a large ‘pilota’ meatball livened by garlic and parsley.

Best food in Spain

Enjoy traditional Spanish food in the very place the meals originated. With Simple ingredients and rich flavors, the dishes we share with you on a trip to Spain will connect you with the authentic culinary heritage of the country.

What to pack for Spain

Catalan, Basque or Galician phrase book

Depending on where you’re visiting, speak like the locals and swap Spanish for a few phrases of the mother tongue. You’ll make friends for life by showing such enthusiasm for the local dialect.

Espadrilles

Forgo ‘flip-flops’ or ‘thongs’ and do as the Spaniards do; don a pair of traditional espadrilles for walking around the cities and travelling the country’s coastline. Comfort and style combined.

Spain has a reputation for being dry and sunny, but cool and rainy days do come. Pack a jacket for and easy layers, particularly if visiting Spain in winter.

A scarf or pashmina

A scarf or pashmina is a must for air-conditioned transport, cooler evenings and when visiting religious sites and cathedrals, which require bare shoulders to be covered.

Sturdy walking boots

Spain may be renowned for its cities and beaches, but you may need sturdy walking shoes when visiting the idyllic mountain ranges.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

A visit to the country of “fiestas and siestas” isn’t complete without exploring its incredible food culture. Good food, drinks, and company are always on the menu. The combination of sampling flavorful dishes, trying delicious wines, and lingering around the table makes the dining experience in Spain quite different from what you’ll have anywhere else in the world. Spanish cuisine is known for its fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and use of olive oil.

Here are some of the best dishes to sample on our trips to Spain:

• Paella.  A quintessential rice dish that everyone visiting Spain needs to try. There are many ways to enjoy it. Traditionally it’s made with saffron, chicken, seafood, and vegetables, but locals also enjoy it with rabbit.
• Tapas and pintxos.  Many people are familiar with tapas, the small-plate meals that Spain made famous the world over. But did you know that tapas are only tapas if they’re on a plate? In the Basque region of Spain, pintxos are tiny bites served atop toasty slices of bread.
• Jamón Ibérico.  A prized delicacy in Spain, this cured ham is made from free-range pigs that are fed a diet of acorns, which gives the ham its distinctive flavor.
• Tortilla Española.  A hearty and filling breakfast option, this Spanish omelet is made with thinly sliced potatoes, onions, and eggs. If you’re on the go, the portable dish makes a great snack.
• Gazpacho.  On a hot summer day, this cold soup of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, and garlic is a delicious way to cool off.
• Wine.  Spain is home to a few of the world’s top wine regions. Three of the best sips you can try on tour are rioja (a fruity red wine), cava (a sparkling wine similar to Champagne), and vermouth (a strong, fortified wine).

Know before you go: tips for eating in Spain →

We recommend you spend at least six days in Spain. While our most popular Spain tours run nine days or more, you can enjoy a shorter trip if you limit your tour to one or two cities.

To stock up on local currency, order some euros from your bank before you go, or use your debit card at an ATM once you arrive. For tips on using the euro while on a trip to Spain, check out our blog on currency exchange →

Spanish is the most widely spoken language in Spain. However, English is widely spoken in popular areas. That said, knowing some key phrases is always useful and will help you find your way around and show locals that you’re interested in learning about their culture.

Some key Spanish phrases to know before you go →

Greetings. When greeting someone in Spain, it is customary to shake hands. It’s also common to kiss someone on the cheek as a greeting, but this is more common among friends and family.

• Dining. Lunch is the largest and most important meal of the day, served at 1pm or later. It often consists of several courses and is followed by the famous siesta, or resting time. Many businesses and restaurants are closed from about 2–4p.m. Dinner is a much lighter meal and often isn’t started until 9 or 10p.m. During the long days of summer, locals might not eat dinner until around midnight!
• Tipping. Tipping is not expected in Spain, but it is appreciated. A tip of five to 10% is considered appropriate for good service.
• Dress. Spain is a relatively casual country, but it’s still important to dress appropriately for the occasion. For example, you wouldn’t want to wear shorts and a T-shirt to a nice restaurant. Or beachwear when you’re not at the beach.

We recommend packing light for a trip to Spain. One suitcase and one carry-on per person is a good guideline to follow; you should feel comfortable managing your baggage at the airport. After you’ve booked one of our Spain tours, we’ll give you information about how to prepare for your particular trip and even share a packing list in our mobile app. 

• Sun protection.  For all our trips, especially during the summer months in Spain, we recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect your face and the back of your neck from the sun.
• Layers.  We recommend packing lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that can be easily layered to accommodate varying temperatures, as well as a light jacket or rainwear.
• Comfortable walking shoes.  Since you’ll be exploring new destinations with local guides while on guided tours to Spain, a comfortable pair of walking shoes is essential to have with you. Those walking shoes will come in handy while exploring the cobblestone streets that are common in Spain or hiking in the Basque Country.
• Dressier attire.  You may want to pack dressier attire if you plan to visit a high-end restaurant or attend a special performance.
• Full-coverage layers for religious sites.  On our Spain tours, it is preferable not to visit churches, temples, or other religious sites with bare legs or shoulders, and staff at these sites may deny entrance on this basis.
• A small day bag.  Many churches and museums will not allow you to bring in large backpacks for security purposes—you’ll need to check them at the door. However, you can wear a small day bag on your front, like a cross-body travel bag or stylish mini backpack.
• An RFID money belt or wallet.  Spain’s city streets can get busy, and like in any country with many tourists, you’ll want to be wary of pickpockets. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) can protect your credit card info from electronic theft, and a money belt will conceal your cash without ruining your outfit.

Once you’ve reserved one of our Spain tour packages, we’ll send you detailed information about what to bring with you. Don’t forget to download the  Go Ahead app  before you take off, so you’ll have all the info you need about your trip right in your pocket.
