Owners and guides of Olé Spain, Cultural Walking Tours 

 

In 1993, we began leading cultural day tours in Granada, Spain. In addition to taking our guests to destinations such as the famed Cathedral and Royal Chapel (where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel are buried), we chose hidden walkways in the old Arab quarter, and nearly-forgotten grape-covered patios. Our primary goal was to create the ultimate Spain tour, to invite our guests into the heart of Spain and give an “insider’s” view of Spanish life.

 

While meandering through the local markets and silent caminos, we brought to life the last 15 tumultuous centuries of Spanish history. We shared our fascination with the lifestyles and customs of historical personages from Boabdil, the last Moorish king, to Washington Irving, author of the illustriousTales of the Alhambra.


Keeping true to our vision of what travel to Spain should be, in 1997 we expanded this original five hour cultural walking odyssey into our signature tour of Spain – Andalucía: The Golden Age of Spain. It was truly a labor of love. We personally guided the tour, only offered it a few times per year and painstakingly planned every detail. Each restaurant was an absolute favorite and each hotel at the top of our list.

 

The popularity of our company grew by word of mouth, and each year we’ve continued to hold ourselves and our guides to the same superior standards that we set from the beginning. We are proud to now offer week-long tours of Andalucía, Cataluña, and Extremadura: adventures into the dreams and nuances of these three distinct Spanish locations.

 

From having grown up with España in our everyday lives we have developed a familiarity and a passion understood only by those who have joined us for walks in our favorite places.

 

We would love nothing more than to share Spain, our passion, with you. Contact Us or call (888) 869-7156 to speak with David. We’ll be happy to explain what you can expect when touring Spain with us.
