This journey balances casual and refined dining, tradition and evolution, and intensity with rest.
Days are unhurried and built around meals, with time to walk, talk, and digest between experiences. We move between street food, markets, local institutions, and carefully selected restaurants, guided by people who know the city well.
Meals are curated, paced, and given the time they deserve.
Our Grand Spain Tour is anchored by a quartet of hotels that mirror the spirit of the journey itself—character, comfort, and quiet luxury.
We begin at Els Casals, a soulful rural retreat where time slows and Catalonia reveals its most intimate face.
In Barcelona and Madrid, we stay at the Edition Hotels, modern sanctuaries of design, light, and effortless elegance, perfectly placed in the heart of each city.
In San Sebastián, we conclude at the legendary Hotel María Cristina, a Belle Époque icon overlooking the river and the sea. Each stay is not merely a night’s rest, but an extension of the experience—places that nourish, inspire, and elevate every moment.

Joined THT San Sebastián tour and it is a must-do experience for food lovers!
David is warm and welcoming, and super happy to be hanging out and eating with others who love food as much as him. Gabriella, our local guide, also elevated the experience – sharing the history of the region, the people, food, and culture and giving us insider access to the chefs, which was amazing.
It was great to interact with the chefs directly for some of the spots and see the action behind the scenes. Every restaurant was very happy and excited to host both David and Gabriella, which made our group feel right at home – as if we were at a friend’s place dining and chatting.
The food and wine were endless and delicious and the menus were very thoughtfully curated for the group. The planning and logistics were perfectly done as well, and we easily got from place to place – very much on time and also with time for us to explore on our own in between (with great local recommendations from both David and Gabriella).
Lastly, it is amazing how people from all over the world from such different backgrounds can be brought together by David and bond over the common love of amazing food. You’ll leave not only having had the best meals of your life but also with connections around the world!
The Grand Tour of Spain in March 2023 was my first Hungry Tourist Food Tour ever and it will not be my last. It was an all-out experience of the finest art.
The food was outstanding, and so was the selection of the restaurants and the chefs. Not only did we have great dining experiences but in many places, we were also invited into the kitchen area to get a look behind the scenes. The hotels and their location also added to a high-level experience in my view.
Last but not least it was an outstanding experience on a human level. Meeting like-minded people from all around the world makes the food experience so much deeper and better. My next tour is already booked and I can not wait for it.
Anyone considering THT for their next foodie trip is in for a treat. At each restaurant, a bespoke experience awaits. Plus, you’ll quickly realize that the value of the trip goes well beyond their access to great food/restaurants. The lifetime of memories and bonds you’ll inevitably create is priceless.
Dudi and Sinan, the masterminds behind THT, are prepared to execute on a highly curated food extravaganza. Their deep knowledge and experience within the gastro industry is bar none. Simply put, magic happens the moment you step into an eatery. For the duration of the meal, you can expect custom menus, elevated wine pairings, and extra special treatment. The food speaks for itself; always delicious.
So how do you get the most out of THT? Go with a hungry stomach. But above all, go with an open mind and really get to know your tour mates.
We joined The Grand Tour of Spain (Mar 2023). And we look forward to future trips.
