Day-by-Day Itinerary

8 days through your journey

Day 1

Barcelona

Welcome to Spain! Join up with your new crew tonight over your first group dinner in the buzzing city of Barcelona. Dinner's on us tonight, so get to know your crew over some delish Spanish eats. Tomorrow will be a whole world of discovery, so you'll be thankful for your hotel sleep.
Day 2

Barcelona to Ibiza via Denia

Time to switch from ancient streets to strobe lights. Today, we’ll head south along the coast to Ibiza.Ditching the coach for a ferry, we’ll hit the coast of the party capital of the world.Life will be dialled up to 100% from the moment we pull up at our luxurious hotel. Day parties, DJs, beach clubs, warehouse bars – this island has earned its reputation as a mecca of good times. Take to the nightlife on our first night (and party ‘til the AM for the next two days) or stay low key knowing we have two more nights ahead of us to enjoy this playground.
Day 3

Ibiza

Wakey wakey, our Night & Day Party Package continues today (cuz we'll score tickets to another buzzing party for you!). But if that's not your vibe, the pristine beaches and water sports will definitely catch your eye.
Day 4

Ibiza

Ibiza has a lot to offer. But a buzzing boat party (while checking out epic views around the island)? Nothing's gonna beat that! See the daylight hours out with sunset and opt to finish your day at the original Cafe del Mar for a munch worthy meal of fresh seafood.
Day 5

Ibiza to Valencia via Denia

It's been a magical time on this island, but we have the rest of Spain to explore. With Ibiza ticked off our bucket list, we'll hop on a ferry back to the mainland.Touching down in Denia we'll jump on our coach, headed for Valencia.It's hard to not be enchanted by the port city of Valencia, where beach meets culture in the happiest way possible. With one night here in the land that invented paella it would be crazy not to sign up for an optional paella-making class tonight with the crew. Who's in?
Day 6

Valencia to Madrid

You’ll have free time to explore the City of Arts & Sciences, soaking up its futuristic architecture and open spaces. Roam, snap some pics, and grab lunch before hitting the road to Madrid. Welcome to Spain’s capital. After arrival, you’ll have free time to head out for dinner and start getting a feel for Madrid’s energy.
Day 7

Madrid

A full day to dive into Madrid? Yep. After an orientation with your Trip Manager, the city’s yours to explore. Tonight, you’ll have the option to grab dinner at a restaurant set on a famous 17th-century square.
Day 8

Madrid

And just like that, it’s time to say goodbye. Enjoy a final breakfast, swap contacts, and share a few last hugs with the crew before heading off with memories that’ll stick around long after the trip ends.
