What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Spain
- Down South, Self-drive
Loved the self-drive tour, gave us the ability to stay on our own schedule. Locations were great with lots to explore in each town as well as along the drive. Ronda and Seville were our favorite! We had the ability to stop while on the road to wine and olive oil taste too, as well as explore Castillo de Almodovar, a beautifully restored castle near Seville where they shot several scenes of Game of Thrones. Location of hotels were good too, easy to get to so you didn't have to drive through some of those difficult narrow one way streets. Only issue was having to pay for parking at some of the hotels, this should have been part of the package. Other than that, it was a great tour!
- Lanzarote, Land of Volcanoes Self-Guided Cycling Tour
Excellent flexibility and high quality accommodation. The cycling is also amazing with suggestions for routes on days off. A great way to explore virtually the whole island.
- Basque Country to Asturias Self-Guided Cycling Tour
it was a wonderful journey. A beautiful route with breathtaking viewpoints. Excellent hotels and good guidance and support from Iberia Tours. Highly recommended!
What our customers ask about Self-Guided Tours in Spain
What level of accommodation can I expect on self-guided tours in Spain?
Self-guided tours in Spain provide accommodations in 3-4 star hotels that reflect local character and style. The hotels blend comfort with regional charm. In Mallorca travelers stay at properties like THB Maria Isabel in Can Pastilla and THB Gran Bahia in Can Picafort. The Andalusia route features stays at Hotel Candido in Segovia and Sercotel Artheus Carmelita in Salamanca. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Excellent accommodations and food for the price. Some of the nights were in a standard hotel while some were Bed and Breakfast accommodations."
What's the best time of year to take a self-guided tour in Spain?
Each region of Spain has its prime travel season. Andalusia works best in spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) with comfortable 70°F temperatures for exploring Seville and Granada. The northern regions of Cantabria and Asturias see their best conditions from June to September with less rain and 75°F averages. A TourRadar traveler shares about their October Andalusia trip: "The locations were amazing! Wish we would have had more time at each stop. The weather was perfect for exploring Granada and Seville."
What types of landscapes and terrain can I expect on Spain's self-guided tours?
Spain presents a range of terrain from coastal paths to mountain trails. The Catalonian routes take walkers through medieval villages like Peratallada and along rocky Mediterranean shores. Mallorca's landscape features the Tramuntana mountains reaching 1370m with paths winding through olive groves and pine forests. A TourRadar traveler notes about Catalonia: "The walking paths offered stunning views of both the Mediterranean and the mountains with plenty of charming villages to explore along the way."
What type of transportation is provided for self-guided tours in Spain and how does it work?
The tours typically provide a rental car such as a Seat Ibiza with automatic transmission options. Rentals come with unlimited mileage roadside assistance and comprehensive insurance. For the Heart of Andalusia tour travelers pick up their car at Malaga Airport then drive freely between sites like the Alhambra Palace and Seville's historic center. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The organization was great from the beginning we had no problems picking up and returning the rental car."
How flexible are the itineraries on Spain self-guided tours?
The tours balance structure with personal freedom. On the Down South Andalusia tour travelers can linger at sites like Seville's Royal Alcazar or adjust timing to avoid crowds at Granada's Alhambra. While pre-booked hotels provide fixed overnight points the daily schedule remains adaptable. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Loved the self-drive tour gave us the ability to stay on our own schedule. Locations were great with lots to explore in each town as well as along the drive."
What meals are typically included in Spanish self-guided tours?
The tours include daily breakfast with select dinners at certain stops. The Catalan Classic Walk provides all breakfasts and occasional dinners letting travelers explore local dining options. In the Tramuntana mountains some included meals happen at mountain refuges serving traditional Mallorcan dishes. As one TourRadar reviewer states: "The included breakfasts were substantial and perfect for fueling our daily walks while having dinner flexibility let us explore local restaurants."
