Spain · LUNCH EXPERIENCES
14 tours
The shortlist we would hand a friend flying in: 14 lunch experiences in Spain, each with a price, a verdict and the catch, where there is one.
Palma de Mallorca 5-hour catamaran cruise with two swim stops, snorkeling gear, BBQ lunch, plus wine or sangria. About $69.
“The activity was lots of fun. The team was great and kept the mood up! It was wonderful.”
Cogwheel train up to Montserrat monastery, then castle-winery wine tasting with tapas or lunch, all guided from Barcelona.
“The tour of Monserrat was wonderful and lunch at the winery was fine but it would have been better to have more time in Monserrat and less time at the winery. Our tour guide Lesly was very good but the wines offered at the winery tasting were low end wines and not very good. Not much to see or do at the winery. Would not recommend the winery portion of the tour. Also if you go in Jan the funicular was closed for servicing at Montserrat which was disappointing.”
Toledo from Madrid in a half or full day with guided sights, headsets, and optional tapas lunch, plus coach pickup.
“First off, Toledo is gorgeous. Between the churches and their ornate gilt and the beautiful architecture, we had an embarrassment of riches. Our driver Enrique safely transported us, while our guide, our docent, Jorge, performed admirably. His command of history in both English and Spanish was superb. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves history.”
Montserrat monastery in the clouds and a 10th-century winery castle with wine tasting, tapas or lunch, plus optional Black Madonna access.
“The free time can be tricky if you’re seeing the Black Madonna and want to make it to the St Michael’s cross. Laia was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide!”
Montserrat by cogwheel train and Abbey tour, then winery tapas or lunch with wine tasting. Strong guides, great views, good value.
“Having a good tour guide is very important but we were lucky to have an exceptional guide, VINCE. He was knowledgeable of Montserrat’s history & the Wine & Tapas lunch following. Vince kept us engaged which made the tour very enjoyable. His professionalism in all was on point. Every tour guide should like Vince. My husband and I from Miami enjoyed this tour very much.”
Kayak and snorkel Costa Brava from Barcelona, with safe cliff jumps, beach lunch, and transport for a full day on the Mediterranean coast.
“really good, came for one of our days for our trip!”
Montserrat monastery views and farm-to-table lunch with wine and dessert, all in a small group day trip from Barcelona.
“Montserrat was a magical place. More beautiful than I had imagined. Lucas was knowledgeable, patient, pleasant and fun! The lunch and wine were icing on the cake!”
Cruise Seville on the Guadalquivir with Iberian ham snacks or a 5-course menu and unlimited drinks, plus landmark views and music.
“The boat was nice. The group of people was amazing. Diverse group and we all chatted. A couple of birthdays. The food was delicious!!!”
Sail Menorca’s south coast from Ciutadella with swims at Son Saura and Cala Turqueta, plus paella and sangria on board.
“Credit to the crew, they looked after everyone and made it a smooth and safe trip. Great day out, very relaxing and couldn't fault the service. Thank you”
Adeje catamaran cruise from Tenerife for pilot whales and dolphins, with lunch and drinks plus a swim stop and 16 underwater windows.
“It was exceptional! - friendly, funny and very professional crew - the guide was speaking perfectly 5 languages - good food and drinks - very clean - good music at a decent volume - we saw many whales close to the boat - the camera guy was very friendly, I bought his film as a memory of this wonderful trip I will recommend it to everyone I know that visits Tenerife in the future.”
Glass-bottom cruise in Jandía Natural Park with hotel pickup, dolphins and whales spotting, snorkeling and kayaking, plus paella and drinks.
“The lovely skipper “César”? of “Odyssey-3” was a charming and capable host. His hardworking crew were equally focussed on us all getting the most from our day aboard that lovely Catamaran. Crew member “Katey” was the lovliest lady and we really enjoyed our chat about the town and her life around boats.”
Small-group Montserrat tour from Barcelona with guided abbey visit and 3-course farmhouse lunch, great views, and easy transfers.
“Our guide was fabulous. The lunch was abundant and delicious. I truly enjoyed the whole trip. I only wished I could go up to see the Black Madonna.”
Small-group Montserrat monastery, cogwheel train, and Black Madonna visit, plus Bages farmhouse lunch and winery tasting with sommelier pairing.
“The tour to Montserrat was amazing! The road up there is twisty and turny, so if you get motion sickness, take some Dramamine. :) Oriel was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and friendly and funny too! The views are incredible. Then we went to the Abadal winery for a tour and tasting with lunch. Oriel knew all about the history of the winery as well as the current wine making. The wines were very good and the lunch was great. We truly enjoyed our day.”
Small-group day trip from Barcelona to Montserrat and Penedes, with winery cellar tour, 3-course lunch, and cava tasting.
“This was a fabulous side trip from Barcelona to Montserrat. Such a beautiful place! Sergio was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day a lot of fun. We also visited a winery after having a delicious lunch. Everything really great. Highly recommend.”
