Just once in your lifetime, treat yourself to the cuisine of Ferran Adria, which has won the adulation of critics worldwide. Time Magazine, in naming Adria one of the "100 of the New Wave", writes that his restaurant "has become a pilgrimage site for foodies".

Luxuriate in Spain's most exclusive (and Gold List) old-world hotels such as the Alfonso XIII, the Ritz in Barcelona, the Ritz in Madrid, the Palace and the Maria Cristina.

For unbridled romance, for honeymooners and for those looking to celebrate a special anniversary, discover a side of Spain that will stay with you the rest of your lives.

Treat yourself to an abundance of Spanish hospitality and style in a new genre of hotels - a world which exists only for those "in the know". These are family-owned historic palacios or rural cortijos, - often in the same family for centuries. Your hosts may continue to live in one section while lovingly converting the remainder into boutique accommodation, with as few as five or six rooms and marketed only through people like Heritage Tours. Food is often home-cooked and you may have a chance to sit down with the owner over a glass of sherry and learn a bit more about the real Spain.

Pamper yourself just a bit in one of Richard Branson's exclusive properties in the Balearic Islands. From your privileged promontory, overlook the crystal-clear Mediterranean or charter a boat to explore the waters yourself.

For that special celebration - for just one special evening - Mies van der Rohe's iconic 1929 Barcelona Pavilion can be yours. Enjoy a feast catered by one of Barcelona's finest Michelin-rated chefs while being serenaded by a violin soloist in what many consider the most influential piece of 20th century architecture.

Or if the exuberance of Gaudi is more to your liking, dine like turn-of-the-century Catalan nobility in a beautiful Moderniste setting in one of Gaudi's most famous landmarks.
