10-Day Easy Pace Spain - Classic Group 2026

Highlights

• Barcelona: At La Pau, you’ll sit down to a seasonal Catalan menu in a restaurant built around social impact. Dishes are prepared and served by young people in training, many moving on from care or disrupted schooling. Paid work, mentoring and a clear structure help them gain skills in the kitchen and dining room as they move towards independent living. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.

• Segovia: Walk Segovia’s historic center with a Local Expert who explains how the city developed at the meeting point of Roman, medieval and royal influence.
