Travellers from Spain often notice an unexpected kinship in north India's architecture: the geometry, courtyards and water channels of Mughal buildings spring from the same broad Islamic tradition that shaped the Alhambra and the Mezquita, and walking Agra Fort or Humayun's Tomb after Granada is a fascinating comparison. Rajasthan's fiestas-like intensity - processions, colour, late dinners that would not surprise anyone from Madrid - makes it the favourite region, and a March departure can be timed for Holi, the exuberant festival of colours. Spanish-speaking guides work in the main tourist cities; ask when you enquire and we will do our best to arrange one for your dates.
There is a deeper thread linking the two countries: the Roma people, whose music and dance shaped flamenco, trace their distant origins to northwest India, and watching Kalbeliya dancers around a Thar Desert campfire - an art UNESCO lists as intangible heritage - many Spanish guests feel they are hearing flamenco's far ancestor. India also matches Spain's genius for festivals. Time a trip for Holi in March and you will be dusted head to toe in colour; come in autumn and Diwali fills every city with lamps and fireworks. Pushkar's camel fair each November is Rajasthan at its most feria-like, complete with horse traders, carousels and pilgrims at the lake. Days here run late like Spanish ones - a 9 pm dinner raises no eyebrows in Delhi - so the rhythm of travel will feel unexpectedly familiar.

Delhi (DEL) is the natural entry point. Our driver tracks your flight, meets you at Indira Gandhi International with a name board and takes you straight to the hotel, whatever hour you land.

October to March is the best season for the classic north India route and covers Navidad, Semana Santa and the puente weekends. August falls in the monsoon, when Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh are the comfortable options.
From Madrid or Barcelona the common route is a one-stop Gulf connection into Delhi, opening onto Rajasthan, whose fortress cities feel like a warmer cousin of Andalusia's.
