Feel the pulse of Spain when you attend an unforgettable flamenco performance! Born of Indian, Moorish, Arabian, and gypsy influences, flamenco dance is a passionate display of dramatic poses and colorful costumes, accompanied by song and guitar. Marvel at the intricate rhythms created by a dancer’s steps, castanets, and clapping. Note: A beverage is included during the one-hour performance.

It’s one thing to sit down at a dinner table and try regional cuisine; it’s quite another to play the role of head chef. Working in a small group, you will source fresh ingredients from the Santa Caterina Market, follow a recipe, receive instruction from a professional chef, and prepare an authentic local dish—all while gaining an understanding of Catalan culture. 

Enjoy an excursion to the grand palace of Versailles, where Louis XIV held court in the most lavish style imaginable. On a tour, stroll through the elegantly landscaped gardens, the historic Hall of Mirrors, and the ornately decorated State Apartments. Note: Versailles is closed on Mondays.
