- Best Spring Break Ever!: Dear Future Participants: You are invited to join me on a thrilling journey to two of the most beautiful countries in Europe: Spain and France. We will start the tour in the elegant Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, a province of Spain. Barcelona is famous for its most unique architecture, world renowned museums, and colorful busy streets. Over the next eight days, we will be traveling along the cost of Spain and Southern France, enjoying stunning natural views and immersing ourselves in the ancient and modern culture of Southern Europe. This itinerary is impressively diverse and should appeal to travelers with different tastes. If you are a lover of nature, you will enjoy the Mediterranean at its most beautiful: dramatic cliffs over azure blue waters. If you are a history buff, you are in for a treat: over the tour, we will span 2000 years of history. If you are a people watcher, you will certainly enjoy walking busy vibrant streets of Barcelona, Marseilles,and Nice with its chic stores and elegant cafes. These ten days of Spring Break will be packed with adventure and new impressions! I truly hope you can join us!
