Traverse Northern Spain from sea to shining sea along the famed Santiago de Compostela trail, the very same route followed by monks and pilgrims for over a thousand years. You'll pass through a verdant landscape replete with castles, cathedrals and culture, steeped in history and tradition. All along you'll visit inns, bodegas, country estates and vineyards known only to the most experienced wine aficionados.

You'll partake of wines sought by Prime Ministers, Emperors and Kings as you wend your way through five distinct wine-growing regions. La Rioja, where monks mastered the aging process of wine making, Valladolid's private vineyards, favored by Sir Winston Churchill and by the Borbon Royal Family. The Penedes Valley and sun-drenched shores of Catalonia, home to Spain regal "Cavas". Cari-enas and Somontanos, wines grown in the crisp northern hilltops. Delicate Amandis which have been the choice of connoisseurs for over two thousand years, including Julius Caesar.

All along you'll dine on a complex and unique cuisine as varied as its wines. And hundreds of varieties of seafood and cheeses from Galicia. So many new dishes to experience, you'll never taste the same one twice. Unless of course, you choose to.

This journey is designed to be a feast for eyes, ears and hearts as well as palates.

By day some of the world's greatest art treasures and historic monuments will awaken your senses. And by night, you'll discover why Spain is Europe's new Gay and Lesbian Mecca.
