Individual tours Northern Spain
Kristina Petrova
Pure nature and culinary delights
My absolute favourite combination when travelling
“Love at first sight – that probably best describes my first encounter with the north of Spain. How could you not immediately fall in love with the shining hills of La Rioja? In between wineries that leave you speechless with their rich history and impressive architecture.
Northern Spain’s cuisine is also full of surprises. The numerous starred restaurants in San Sebastián naturally play a major role here. But you can also immerse yourself in the diverse cuisine of the region in a rustic pintxos bar. There are no limits to the imagination when it comes to “bites to go with wine”, which you can see for yourself on a tour to the most beautiful and delicious pintxos spots in the city.
In addition to northern Spain, Geotoura has other exciting culinary and cultural destinations waiting for you. You will also find real insider tip regions in the centre of Spain. Geotoura has just been nominated for the Spain Tourism Award 2024 with our round trip 9 days Extremadura - Flair of the Paradores . An award that makes our Spanish heart beat a little faster these days.”

Experience northern Spain
Culinary paradise between ocean and vineyards
The different facets of northern Spain are also reflected in the cuisine of the individual regions. The Atlantic offers an immense variety of seafood, meaning that the cuisine in the coastal regions of northern Spain is dominated by fish and seafood dishes. Fresh vegetables, hearty stews and lamb and game dishes, on the other hand, can be found on the menu inland. The north of Spain is also known for its finest cheeses thanks to its lush green dairy pastures. A visit to a traditional cheese dairy or a Basque farmers’ market will allow you to immerse yourself even deeper in the flavours of northern Spain, alongside classic wine tastings.
Real foodies will not be able to avoid one city: San Sebastián is home to the star chefs of the world and will spoil you with creative Mediterranean cuisine. A visit to a pintxos bar is just as much a part of a stroll through the city. Unlike classic tapas, various components are served as skewers (pincho), resulting in the most unusual and delicious creations. If you want to take a trip to the best pintxos bars, you should join a guided tour with our city guide Jone. Let us advise you on this and other culinary experiences.

The trip to Northern Spain with Geotoura was very successful overall. Beautiful hotels, great cities, some of which could be described as as yet undiscovered gems, travel planning that worked one hundred per cent and saved us a lot of our own time. We have already recommended Geotoura to others and would book here again at any time. Thank you very much for the wonderful moments!

A great round trip starting from Madrid to the north coast of Spain to Santiago de Compostella and back to Madrid - the weather was just perfect during the last two weeks of June - sunny but not hot, no beach holiday just sightseeing, hiking and culinary delights - Madrid would certainly be worth an extra trip - that was our conclusion and we were already a bit tired of sightseeing! We can only recommend this trip through northern Spain!

A very interesting trip through Spain from the Basque Country to Galicia, via Cantabria and Asturias. Spain is still green here in September! A good mix of culture, nature, city, mountains and beach. Highly recommended!
