THE JOURNEY
Medieval Spain is not just a collection of ruins and monuments. It is the living history of how a continent took shape. On this expedition, we travel through the cities that witnessed the battles, agreements and transformations that shaped not only Spain, but all of Western civilization. Girona, Besalú, Cardona, Ávila, Toledo, Segovia, Albarracín — each name is a chapter in an extraordinary story that begins to be understood when seen up close.
