Cultural group trips through Spain
Relaxed, well-organised cultural trips through Galicia, Castile, Andalusia and beyond, for groups who want to see the real Spain: historic towns, monasteries, family-run restaurants, wineries and landscapes, at a comfortable pace.
Designed and hosted by Rufino Gómez, with the licensed travel agency Viajes Piquero Azul behind every booking.
Rufino designs every itinerary himself and travels with the group. He knows the villages, the monasteries, the family restaurants and the people behind them.
Private coach, comfortable hotels, good restaurants, short optional walks and time to rest. No long hikes, no early-morning rush.
Hotels, coach, meals, guides and tickets, booked and coordinated by a licensed Spanish travel agency. You travel, we handle the rest.

Rufino Gómez has designed and led cultural trips across Spain for years. He plans every route himself, knows the places and the people, and travels with each group from the first day to the last.
His passion is finding the village, the monastery, the family-run restaurant and the winery that the standard circuits miss, and taking people there at a comfortable pace.
Rufino speaks Spanish. For international groups an English-speaking guide travels with the group, so nothing gets lost in translation.
