About us
Why Travel With Us
If you wanted to experience truly authentic Japanese cuisine, you wouldn’t settle for a restaurant back home—you’d go to Japan. You’d walk the streets, smell the kitchens, watch the chefs at work, and taste food shaped by place, culture, and daily life. Travel works the same way. So why trust someone far away—who may have visited Spain once or twice—to design a journey through a country they don’t live in?
We are based in Spain and travel frequently throughout Portugal. This isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live. That means your trip is shaped by real, current, lived experience, not guidebooks or recycled itineraries. We design journeys the way locals experience them: unhurried, personal, and deeply connected to place.

Travelers
Tailor-made experiences
Visits to the highlights
Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Porto, Lisbon.
These cities are iconic for a reason, and we make sure you experience them properly. But you won’t just “see” them. You’ll explore them with locals who know their rhythms, their stories, and their favorite corners—whether that’s a quiet plaza at sunset or a small bar serving the best patatas bravas in town.
Beyond the highlights, we take you further
places only locals talk about and travelers rarely discover
Beyond the highlights, we take you further. To villages, landscapes, traditions, and everyday moments you won’t find in guidebooks—places only locals talk about and travelers rarely discover. That balance is what defines Hidden in Spain: the must-see icons, paired with the lesser-known places that make your trip feel truly special and different.
This is travel that feels personal, relaxed, and real—like being welcomed into a country rather than passing through it.

Message from our founder
Luis Fernández de Vega
Hidden in Spain was born from a simple idea: the most memorable journeys happen when you experience a country through the eyes of a local. After traveling extensively across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, I realized that most trips barely scratch the surface—showing famous sights without revealing the soul of a place. Having lived in Spain my entire life and traveled Portugal deeply, I design fully tailor-made journeys that go beyond the highlights. From iconic landmarks to hidden corners known only to locals, every detail is carefully curated to feel effortless, personal, and refined. With a background in marketing and international sales, I combine local knowledge with a high standard of service—so your journey feels seamless, exclusive, and genuinely authentic. When I’m not designing trips, I enjoy skiing, good conversations, time with my family… and discovering exceptional beers from around the world.
