Hands-on Cultural Tours in Spain, Cuba & Puerto Rico

Hands-on
Cultural Programs

One of the best ways to know a destination and culture is through hands-on experiences and workshops, learning directly from descendants of time-honored traditions.

With this in mind, Alandis Travel offers these activities as an integral component of your holiday experience. You can discover and learn about your destination through active participation in courses and creative, artistic and gastronomic experiences that characterize them.

In Spain you can learn how flamenco guitars are made in the traditional way, you can cook a paella with your group or learn to dance sevillanas like a real flamenco dancer. In Cuba you might enjoy an authentic live Jazz concert, take a tour in a classic American car or enjoy the beautiful scenery from atop a horse.
