SPAIN You really can’t beat a European summer, insists Jason Wolfe, Trafalgar managing director. “It’s a bearable, dry heat during the day and balmy at night so the weather is perfect,” he says. “But also, there are so many cultures and cuisines you can experience within a hop, skip or jump from one another.” Trafalgar has a 15-day Best of Spain tour from $4037, which takes in as much sangria in sun-dappled courtyards as it does picturesque towns. “And the great thing about booking a tour is that not only do we take care of the tricky details so your main focus can remain on eating, drinking and relaxing, we have lots of ways to help you beat the crowds and jump the queues.”
