IBERIA  

Land of Leisure and Latin Spice 

From the Costa Brava’s rugged beauty to the Algarve’s golden beaches, the Iberian Peninsula is a place where time stands still. Embrace a slower pace in medieval villages like Girona and coastal gems like Cascais. Stop and smell the orange blossoms as you wander cobblestone streets that pulse with the beats of flamenco and the soulful rhythms of fado. Savor long leisurely meals of tapas, paella, and bacalao a la vizcaína that sing with the flavors of age-old spice routes. In a land where hospitality flows as freely as the wine, the soul of Iberia comes alive when you slow down, breathe it all in, and surrender to the present.
