August 7-13, 2026
7 Days / 6 Nights
Experience Catalonia in a way few travelers ever do — through historic cities, breathtaking coastlines, intimate wineries, and a once-in-a-lifetime sunset total solar eclipse.
This journey begins in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, continues to the magical seaside village of Cadaqués — the place Salvador Dalí called home — and ends among the vineyards of Penedès, where we’ll witness one of the rarest celestial events on Earth. A total solar eclipse at sunset, where the horizon glows in every direction and the sky transforms into a 360-degree ring of color. It’s a moment most people will never experience in their lifetime — and we get to share it together. It’s a week of art, culture, slow beauty, stunning wine, warm people, and meaningful moments shared together.
