Spain
Solo Travel

There is something wonderfully romantic about travelling alone, especially when you’re visiting cities as swoon worthy as Seville. Home to timeless Renaissance palaces, Gothic churches and bustling flamenco clubs that reverberate the country’s intimate and intoxicating traditions, Seville will have you falling head over heels in no time. However, if walking boots are your footwear of choice, spend your Spain solo travel adventure delving into Mallorca’s mountains. Hike along rugged trails and narrow streets and don’t miss a visit to the small coastal village of Deià – the playground of the rich and famous and a frequent supporting cast member in many BBC and ITV dramas.

If you need a break from the sizzling European sun, seek refuge in one of Bilbao’s iconic museums. Lose hours in the Guggenheim as you ogle at Yves Kliens and Andy Warhols, and discover how art and culture have helped to boost struggling regional economies. Malaga knows a thing or two about art as well. Accompanied by a private guide, tour the Picasso Museum in the heart of the city’s old town and learn about the eccentric artist’s career as you get up close and personal with some of his most noted works. While we believe arty afternoons go hand in hand with plates of croquetas and empanadas, if you’re after something a little heartier, nothing beats Porra Antequerana. Served cold, this Malagueño tomato-based soup is a guaranteed crowd pleaser – especially on balmy summer nights. Really, could Spain solo travel sound more romantic?
