This is a day-long journey into the trade life of Istanbul—told through its markets, caravan inns, and shared meals. This walking tour crosses from the old merchant quarters of the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar to the everyday rhythms of Kadıköy, weaving through Ottoman courtyards, the "hans", and backstreet cafés along the way. You’ll visit a working caravanserai, meet a craftsperson keeping old trades alive, see rare views of the city from various points, and sit down to the same dishes traders still eat today—sour soups, lentil köfte, helva, mussels, meze. You’ll walk through wholesale alleys behind the Spice Bazaar and visit the Süleymaniye complex—once a spiritual and logistical nerve center of the empire. Then you’ll cross the Bosphorus by ferry, stepping into the present-day hum of market life on the Asian side. This is the story of Istanbul—told through trade routes, shared meals, and the spaces in between.

This is the perfect experience if you have limited time in Istanbul and want to spend a day really immersing in the markets, life and stories of the past and present. 

You’ll walk the actual paths of merchants—through caravan inns, passages, mosque courtyards, and side streets still lined with trade. In and around the Grand Bazaar, you’ll meet craftspeople working from the same hans used by Silk Road traders. In Tahtakale, you’ll snack where delivery boys and porters do. At Süleymaniye, you’ll stand in a mosque complex designed not just for prayer, but for feeding and sheltering the city's workers and travelers. And in Kadıköy, you’ll taste the present: fish, pickles, olives, meze—sold where Byzantium once stood. You won’t be guided by landmarks. You’ll be guided by habits—where people have eaten, traded, gathered, and moved for centuries. This is a tour of food and trade, but also of time—of what endures, and what Istanbul still remembers.

Begin in the backstreets behind the Grand Bazaar, tracing the paths once walked by camel caravans carrying silk, spice, and ceramics into the city. You'll see what a "Han" is, a rare surviving caravanserai, where merchants once slept above their stored goods and conducted trade in the courtyard below. You'll meet working craftspeople—perhaps a silversmith tapping out a filigree pendant or a textile expert unrolling handwoven fabric.  

You'll discover the grand courtyard of Valide Han, Istanbul’s largest historic caravanserai built in the mid-1600s. At its height, this bustling hub served as a center for merchants from across the Ottoman Empire—storing goods, hosting travelers, and facilitating trade in spices, silk, carpets, and more. As you explore its vaulted galleries and stone chambers, your guide will bring to life the story of Ottoman commerce to life.

Most visits to the Grand Bazaar stick to the shops. This takes you behind the scenes—into the living architecture and working culture that still animate the commercial heart of Istanbul. You'll get into the daily pulse of the Bazaar to eat where the traders do: a quiet spot serving tripe soup, lentil köfte, or white beans in tomato—flavors that haven’t changed in decades. You'll observe, listen, and eat where merchants still do -- and see places that would be nearly impossible to find on your own. 

Walking Tour segment in Grand Bazaar behind-the-scenes with artisans, tradespeople, food stalls.

Grand Bazaar Behind-the-Scenes

Enter the Spice Bazaar, still thick with scent and sound since 1660. Walk beneath its vaulted ceilings lined with saffron, sumac, and dried hibiscus sold by families who've worked the same stalls for generations. From there, slip behind the scenes into Tahtakale—one of Istanbul’s least understood but most vital trade arteries. This wholesale district still hums with activity: dried goods in sacks, hardware stacked in back alleys, and passageways filled with carts and crates. You’ll visit a seed seller or a traditional coffee roaster, sample a bite of pastırma or briny olives, and see warehouses that once handled goods from the Golden Horn—now selling lanterns, metalwork, and bulk tools.

Tahtakale is where trade still breathes, not where tourists linger. Most don’t realize this system runs parallel to the bazaar’s more curated front. You’re not just seeing where things are sold—you’re seeing how a city moves goods through its bones. This stage offers a tactile sense of logistics: the noise, the repetition, the stories behind every crate and counter.

Walk through Spice Bazaar and backstreets of Tahtakale, tasting goods,  tracing the supply lines

Spices and Side Streets

Climb toward one of Istanbul’s architectural high points—Süleymaniye Mosque, designed by imperial architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century. This was once a civic hub. Visit the former caravanserai, the soup kitchen (imaret) that fed the poor, and the medical clinic (darüşşifa) that served travelers and locals alike. As you move through the complex, you’ll see how Ottoman ideals of charity, urban planning, and commerce were woven together. Pause in the courtyard to take in panoramic views of the Golden Horn, then, if time allows, sit for helva and tea at a nearby terrace café still frequented by porters and theology students.

Süleymaniye is a beautiful site. The route will stay in the courtyard and grounds and the include the incredible views. Your guide will explain how this is also a working model of Ottoman urban design. This part of the tour reveals how empire-era Istanbul was structured to serve body, soul, and society through tightly interlinked institutions. You’ll see how infrastructure shaped public life. And you’ll appreciate how Istanbul’s waterways shaped its character — from commerce to culture — and enjoy a stunning panorama of Sinan’s masterpiece mosque, dating to 1550‑57. 

Walk in Süleymaniye’s mosque complex where Ottoman trade, charity, and faith once worked in unison

Faith, Trade & Social Design

Take the ferry across the Bosphorus to Kadıköy, once known as Chalcedon—now one of the most dynamic neighborhoods on the Asian side. Walk through its market streets: fruit stands heavy with pomegranates, pickle shops filled with barrels of lemony brine, and fishmongers calling out the catch of the day. Then head to Yeldeğirmeni, a lesser-known neighborhood where former trade buildings now house artist studios, cafés, and co-ops. The day closes with a shared plate of meze at a simple spot tucked off the main drag—maybe stuffed mussels, maybe fried anchovies—eaten to the soundscape of Istanbul's modern rhythm.

This is where you cross over to modern market life. Kadıköy is a lived-in, working district. You’re entering a continuation of the same story of trading, commerce and food, carried by food, space, and daily life. It’s a reminder that Istanbul’s past isn’t just behind us—it’s still being cooked, sold, ferried, and lived.

Portugal

This one-day experience takes you from Porto to the heart of the Douro Valley where you’ll witness centuries-old winemaking traditions and meet the families who have helped shape this UNESCO-recognized landscape. Before reaching the valley, you’ll make a pitstop at Amarante, a charming riverside town known for its cheeky sweet tradition. You’ll take a short break here for coffee and pastries before hitting the road to visit a small family-run vineyard in the countryside. The owners will welcome you with open arms, showing you around the vineyards and regaling stories of their ancestors while handing you a glass of their latest harvest. 

After the guided wine tasting, you’ll be welcomed for lunch in the home of another small producer to enjoy a seasonal, home-cooked meal shared around the family table. The drive back to Porto follows a slower, scenic route through terraced hillsides and river views with a couple of stops to take in the sights.

This experience centers on the generations of people who have carved their lives in the Douro — the families who live and work here, the relationships formed around wine, the food sourced from the countryside, and the community rituals that persist to this day.

Rather than touring large estates, you'll walk with growers through their vineyards and share a home-cooked meal in the kitchen of a small producer. At each stop, you’ll be welcomed as part of the family. The wine you’ll taste is poured by the people who make it. The food reflects what’s in season and sourced locally.

The pace is slow and personal, allowing space for conversations with the bakers of Amarante whipping up batches of the infamous doces fálicos, the winemakers of the Douro, and your guide, Alexandra, who will accompany you throughout. It's ideal for travelers who want to understand the Douro beyond the views — through the daily work, hospitality, and long memory of those who continue to care for the land.

Uncover the revolutionary spirit of Gràcia, one of Barcelona’s most distinctive neighborhoods, on this private walking tour. Once an independent town, Gràcia was the site of numerous uprisings throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Your journey begins at Plaça Lesseps, where you’ll explore one of Barcelona’s most significant revolts: La Setmana Tràgica. From there, you’ll follow your host through Gràcia’s charming plazas, hearing stories of key uprisings like the 1870 Revolta de les Quintes and visiting the very sites where these armed conflicts took place.

At the legendary Plaça del Diamant, Josep will share insights into the devastating impact of the Spanish Civil War on the neighborhood, along with the literature it inspired. The scars of history are still visible in this square today. To end the tour, you'll indulge in fresh oysters and wine at a top-tier fish bar loved by locals. Join us for a walk through revolution and resilience—right into the heart of Gràcia.

Your host Josep was born and raised in Gràcia and brings a rare, personal perspective to the neighborhood’s layered history. He shares its past with the insight and presence of someone who has lived its evolution. His deep roots in Gràcia and active involvement in Barcelona's cultural scene give him unique insight into the neighborhood's revolutionary history and contemporary artistic landscape. You'll walk through plazas where uprisings took place, trace the impact of war and resistance, and hear stories rarely found in guidebooks.

While Gràcia is now one of Barcelona’s most visited areas, its radical past is often overlooked. This tour reveals the spirit of resistance that shaped the neighborhood. Josep connects the dots between uprisings, literature, memory, and place, drawing on his background in Barcelona’s cultural life.

The tour ends as it should—at a beloved local spot over oysters and wine, where the present-day pulse of Gràcia comes into focus.

Walk from San Sebastián’s elegant city center, lined with Belle Époque buildings, to the lively Old Town. Discover how pintxos culture emerged in the mid-20th century, inspired by the region’s fishing heritage and seasonal produce.

Pintxos, pronounced pinch-oss, are skewered snacks ranging from a rich, meaty bite on bread to salty gildas and beyond — the Basque version of tapas (locals boast they are better). With pintxos, you can try all the flavors of the Iberian peninsula. You'll learn the ins and outs of how to navigate the local food scene, the best spots and what to order at them.

In this walking tour you'll stop off at various bars, each famous for a particular pintxo flavor or two. And your hosts will know exactly which ones to order at each stop, teaching you local insider tips as you go. 

You'll conclude with a selection of artisanal chocolates, made with Mexican cacao fused with Basque flavors: treats which reflect the cultural exchange of your hosts themselves.

This experience stands out for its carefully curated selection of pintxos, chosen exclusively for Fernwayer. These special bites add a personal dimension, giving guests access to hidden gems cherished by Maider and Cristina themselves.

San Sebastián has more bars per square meter than almost anywhere in Europe, and its pintxo tradition reflects centuries of Basque pride in seasonal produce and communal dining. Walking and food are the best ways to get to know San Sebastián: by exploring its elegant streets with a local while enjoying its culinary offering. Ideal for food and wine lovers, this tour offers a glimpse of everyday life in San Sebastián. Your hosts are dedicated to showing you authentic local haunts frequented by residents and those in the know. At each stop, you'll enjoy a range of flavors, all paired with perfectly refreshing glasses of wine.

This tour is also about giving back: for every guest, Maider and her team donate a meal through a European charity.

This half-day Douro tour is built for travelers already in the region — or visiting briefly — who want a meaningful overview without committing to a full-day itinerary. Led by local hosts, the experience offers a compact yet immersive look at what defines the valley’s identity.

The journey begins at a panoramic viewpoint where the Douro reveals itself in full: terraced hillsides, vine-covered slopes, and the river winding through it all. 

Next, you’ll step aboard a traditional rabelo boat — the vessel once used to transport barrels downriver — for a quiet cruise accompanied by a glass of local Moscatel. 

The final stop is a guided tasting at a respected estate, where you’ll walk through the vineyard and sample wines that reflect the region’s growing focus on still varieties alongside its Port tradition. This is also where you have lunch.

In just a few hours, you’ll move through landscape, history, and flavor — a concentrated introduction to the Douro’s ongoing story.

This experience was designed for those short on time but seeking real insight into the Douro Valley. Every stop has been handpicked by Carlos and Paulo, two lifelong locals with deep roots in the region. Their knowledge ensures you skip the crowded, commercial routes and instead step into places with meaning: a panoramic viewpoint that locals quietly revere, a private boat cruise with space to take in the valley’s scale, and a tasting at a respected estate that showcases how Douro wine is evolving beyond Port.

What makes this different is the balance it strikes. It’s short, but not rushed. It’s curated. You’ll move through views, river, and vineyard in a way that connects them — placing each part of the experience in the broader rhythm of Douro life. It’s a rare chance to touch on the landscape, the winemaking, and the local way of life — all in one intimate, thoughtfully paced experience.

Art to Coast in Valparaíso

3 days in Valparaíso blending street art, food, architecture, and coastal craft with local guides.

United States

This 10-day Morocco journey begins and ends in Marrakesh, unfolding through coastal Essaouira and the High Atlas Mountains in between. From artistic neighborhoods and sensory rituals to ocean air and mountain trails, this itinerary invites you to see Morocco not just as a destination but as a series of living moments, each led by chefs, photographers, artisans, and storytellers.

You will take part in Sufi evenings, hands-on cooking, contemporary gallery visits, and village walks. Every stop balances exploration and stillness, allowing time to absorb, connect, and be moved by Morocco’s many layers, from rooftop views to mountain paths, from hammam steam to handcrafted silver.

DAYS 1-2 – MARRAKESH | Ease into the journey with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm welcome into Moroccan cooking set in a private home. Visit El Badi Palace on your own before an immersive evening of Sufi presence with live Hadra music and shared dinner. The next day focuses on the city’s creative energy. Begin with a guided art tour and curator-led meet-up at Comptoir des Mines Galerie. Spend the afternoon in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s modern district, to visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle, spaces that blend color, fashion, and legacy.

DAY 3 – MARRAKESH TO ESSAOUIRA | Begin the morning with A Thousand and One Crafts, a guided walk through the artisan medina of Marrakesh. After lunch, travel west through argan country toward the coast. Essaouira is directly west of Marrakesh, a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, a straight shot to the Atlantic. It offers a gentle and relaxed pause after the intensity of Marrakesh. Arrive before sunset and take in the sea breeze.

DAYS 4-5 – ESSAOUIRA | Capture the spirit of Essaouira with Framed Essaouira, a full-day photography tour that reveals the city’s light, rhythm, and intimate angles. On the following day, dive deeper into craftsmanship with Jewelry Makers of Essaouira, a quiet and inspiring look into workshops that keep Moroccan silversmithing alive.

DAY 6 – ESSAOUIRA TO ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Today is a long but beautiful transfer from the Atlantic coast to Imlil in the High Atlas Mountains. As the terrain shifts, so does the pace. By sunset, you will be surrounded by peaks and valleys, far from city sounds.

DAYS 7-8 – ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Walk the Mule Tracks of Aremd, a soft yet panoramic hike that threads through the hills and villages near Imlil. The following day, go deeper with The Quintessential High Atlas, a guided trek that brings you into the life and rhythm of the mountains.

DAY 9 – ATLAS TO MARRAKESH | Begin your day with The Salt Route of Marigha, a scenic walk through argan groves and salt flats. Then, return to Marrakesh for your final evening. The shift from mountain quiet to city color makes this arrival feel like a reawakening.

DAY 10 – MARRAKESH | Close your journey with Art Beyond Borders, a guided look at contemporary art in Marrakesh. Enjoy one last rooftop, one last mint tea, and one last story before heading toward your next chapter, carrying Morocco’s echoes with you.

An Escape to Morocco

10 days in Morocco through Marrakesh, Essaouira, and the Atlas Mountains with art, food, and nature.

Seville in Shadow and Light is a five-day journey into the city’s most enduring expressions of faith, artistry, and tradition. From the soaring vaults of its Gothic cathedral and the archives that shaped an empire to Andalusian crafts, flamenco’s living pulse, and the quiet elegance of noble palaces, each day moves deeper into Seville’s character. Guided tours and workshops are paired with flexible explorations, inviting travelers to experience the city not as a checklist but as a rhythm of devotion, creativity, and daily life.
DAY 1 – ARCHIVES AND CATHEDRALS | Begin with a guided tour of Andalusia’s sacred crafts, where devotion and artistry meet in unexpected forms. In the afternoon, visit the General Archive of the Indies before stepping into Seville Cathedral. End the day climbing the Giralda tower at your own pace for sweeping views across the city.
DAY 2 – MUSEUMS AND DANCE | Spend the morning at the Museum of Popular Arts, a Neo-Mudéjar pavilion in Maria Luisa Park that preserves Andalusian traditions in costume, craft, and design. Later, join a Sevillanas class with a dancer who introduces the rhythms and gestures of this joyful tradition.
DAY 3 – ART AND FLAMENCO STYLE | Start the day at the Museo de Bellas Artes, where Spain’s second most important art collection unfolds from Murillo to Zurbarán. In the afternoon, take part in a flamenco styling workshop in Triana, as a designer reveals how fabric, form, and movement shape this iconic art.
DAY 4 – PALACES AND ALCÁZAR | Begin with a walk through Seville’s noble residences, from the courtyards of Casa Pilatos to the halls of Palacio de las Dueñas, once home to the Duchess of Alba. After a pause, join a guided after-hours visit to the Alcázar, entering its gardens and chambers once the crowds have gone.
DAY 5 – BULLS, TRIANA, AND THE RIVER | Travel into the countryside on a day trip to a historic ranch that preserves the heritage of the toro bravo, with insights into Spain’s most emblematic animal. Back in the city, spend the afternoon wandering the streets of Triana before continuing along the Guadalquivir promenade.
WHERE TO STAY IN SEVILLE | Seville’s historic center, around the Cathedral and Santa Cruz, is ideal for travelers who want to be immersed in monuments, gardens, and winding alleys. Triana, across the river, offers a more local rhythm, with tapas bars, flamenco studios, and a neighborhood feel. Both areas are walkable and well connected, letting you choose between the intimacy of the old city and the vibrancy of daily life.

Seville in Shadow and Light

5 days in Seville exploring flamenco, palaces, toro bravo heritage, Triana, and the Cathedral.

This 10-day itinerary moves through Andalusia’s most expressive cities—Seville, Cádiz, Ronda, Málaga, and Granada—balancing guided experiences with time to wander. You’ll follow a one-way route from Seville to Málaga to minimize travel and deepen your experience. From Moorish palaces to Roman ruins and vibrant markets, this trip is an invitation to engage with Andalusia as a living culture. Along the way, you’ll find curated experiences, hotel and dining recommendations, and insights from two locals who know this region intimately.

Seville is your entry point—fly in and settle into a city where architecture, energy, and rhythm shape the streets. Visit the Alcázar, take a masterclass in flamenco’s quieter meanings, and explore hidden workshops in Triana. | Cádiz follows, and with it, the feeling of arrival into a deeper past. Here, you’ll walk seaside ramparts, taste freshly caught fish in local markets, and join locals for a casual tapas crawl. Don’t miss the Carnival, if your timing aligns. | Ronda offers slower breath and cliffside drama. With its sweeping views and old-world charm, this is the perfect place for a horseback ride, a visit to a family-run bodega, or a hike into the surrounding countryside. | Málaga, long overlooked, now leads with contemporary art and bold cuisine. | Granada, your final stop, gathers everything—Islamic architecture, Jewish heritage, Spanish tradition. The Alhambra is a must, but so are the Albaicín’s narrow alleys and the city’s soulful street corners.

Trains run between some major cities, but not all. To follow this route with ease, we recommend car rentals or arranged transfers between accommodations. Begin in Seville and fly out from Málaga.

Cádiz as a place of convergence: María José was born and raised in Cádiz, and her eyes sparkle with pride and nostalgia as she describes this ancient city where history, culture, and the sea converge. It’s a place where stories of Phoenician sailors, Roman conquerors, and Moorish poets are continually retold. Reflecting on her childhood, she recalls the close-knit neighborhood where people relied on one another. Carnival—an annual February tradition—was central. Lucía remembers it too; her grandmother was a seamstress who hand-stitched elaborate costumes each year. 

The essence of Andalusia, María José says, is best experienced not through spectacles, but through shared moments. Conversations in taverns. Crafts passed down through generations. Hospitality that’s unforced and real. Strangers are often welcomed like friends—invited into homes, kitchens, or village fiestas. Here, you’re never just an observer.

There’s growing interest in pairing cultural travel with nature, wellness, and gastronomy. Think horseback safaris, slow treks, and olive oil tastings under ancient trees. For María José and Lucía, true luxury is about access to spaces and stories that are otherwise closed to tourists: a private sherry tasting in a centuries-old bodega, a sunset boat ride in Doñana, or a morning spent with artisans in a whitewashed village. This is the Andalusia they want travelers to know.

This journey is designed for travelers passing through with limited time who want to understand the city’s pulse through its art, stories, and street life. With guided access to working studios and street-level culture, it offers a layered portrait of Valparaíso in motion.
DAY 1 – ART STUDIOS AND STREET LIFE | Begin with a guided visit to a printmaking studio where local artists share their creative process, from tools to finished works. In this intimate setting, you’ll see how contemporary art is shaped by the city’s spirit. After a lunch break, spend the afternoon walking through Valparaíso’s hills and alleyways with a local guide.

Together, these two experiences trace how creativity lives and breathes across generations.
WHERE TO STAY IN VALPARAÍSO | Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción offer quick access to both studio visits and afternoon walks, with a central location and walkable charm.

One Day in Valparaíso

Fernwayer’s perfect one day in Valparaíso blends street art, studios, and a hillside guided walk.

From ancient medinas to soaring mountain peaks, this 7-day itinerary in Morocco begins in the heart of Marrakesh and ends high in the Atlas Mountains. A full week of cultural contrasts, spiritual traditions and modern art, plus rooftop sunsets, hands-on cooking classes, vibrant souks and quiet trails. Each day balances immersive experiences with time to explore independently, inviting you to see Morocco through the eyes of artists, chefs, guides, and storytellers.

DAY 1 – MEDINA FOUNDATIONS & ROOFTOP VIEWS | Begin in the heart of the old city with The City of Seven Men, a walking tour that weaves together faith, folklore, and Moroccan tea in a local home. In the afternoon, visit Bahia Palace, where carved cedar and painted ceilings reflect Marrakesh’s opulent past. As the sun sets, join Skyline Stories of Marrakesh, a rooftop journey through a thousand years of history. End the night over dinner at Le Foundouk, with views to match the mood.

DAY 2 – FLAVORS & FAITH | Spend your day with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm and generous cooking class in a private home. In the late afternoon, explore the remains of El Badi Palace, once a symbol of Saadian grandeur. As evening falls, experience A Gathering of Sufi Presence—a powerful blend of Hadra music, spiritual storytelling, and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Wrap up with cocktails and city lights at Dardar Rooftop.

DAY 3 – ART & ATMOSPHERE IN GUELIZ | Today is centered in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s contemporary quarter. Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a curated visit to a local gallery and studio meetup. Then discover the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent at the museum, followed by a stroll through the vivid and peaceful Jardin Majorelle in the Psychedelic Mirage story. Pause for shopping, cafés, or a relaxed dinner at Al Fassia, a Gueliz institution run by women.

DAY 4 – HERITAGE & STORYTELLING | Dive deeper into Marrakesh’s medina with A Thousand and One Crafts, a private walk through its hidden workshops and time-honored techniques. In the afternoon, visit the Mouassine Music Museum and the Photography Museum, both offering quiet insight into Moroccan life and creativity. End the day with 1001 Stories in Marrakesh, an intimate evening of storytelling, music, and dinner. L’mida rooftop awaits to close the day with vibrant flavors and city lights.

DAY 5 – SWEETS & STILLNESS | Begin your day with a heartwarming class at Signs & Sweets, where deaf chefs guide you through the art of Moroccan pastry in a café that empowers and connects. In the afternoon, pause for renewal with a traditional hammam ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect. End the day with a sensory feast in one of Marrakesh’s most atmospheric restaurants.

DAYS 6–7 – INTO THE ATLAS | Leave the city behind for a two-day trek into the High Atlas Mountains. Your guide leads you from the village of Imlil toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Along the way, you’ll pass Berber hamlets, alpine trails, and star-filled skies. Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh & the Atlas Way

7 days in Morocco from Marrakesh with an itinerary that blends medina life, culture and mountains.

This 3-day South East Sicily itinerary is beautifully balanced — it flows from almond groves to ancient theaters, olive groves to volcanic slopes.

South East Sicily holds a rare kind of richness—where golden stone meets deep flavor, and ancient landscapes echo through everyday life. This three-day itinerary is designed to move slowly and purposefully through that corner of the island, where everything feels grounded: in sun, in story, in taste.

Day one opens in the almond groves and soft trails near Noto, where agriculture and antiquity intertwine. The afternoon invites you into the town itself, where the Baroque facades of Corso Vittorio Emanuele glow in the late light. You’ll walk among church domes and curved balconies, ending the day with gelato in hand and a quiet dinner in the countryside, surrounded by olive trees and silence.

On the second day, the rhythm shifts to the coast. Ortigia, the historic heart of Siracusa, offers a morning of light-soaked streets and briny market air. You'll taste olives grown nearby and move at the pace of a place shaped by centuries. In the late afternoon, you board a boat for a sunset sail along Ortigia’s edge—water, limestone, and shifting sky. The day closes with a table at Don Camillo, where tradition is honored, not preserved.

The final day takes you higher. Mount Etna commands the horizon and the imagination. You'll walk along its slopes, where vineyards thrive in black soil and steam rises from fissures just beneath your feet. Later, the calm of Taormina welcomes you down, offering views from its ancient Greek theater that stretch from mountain to sea. Dinner in town brings the journey full circle—flavors, views, and the quiet hum of Sicilian life.

This is Sicily in layers: cultivated, storied, and elemental. A region best experienced with open time, open senses, and a willingness to let its golden rhythm set your pace.

This 7-day itinerary offers a layered introduction to Catalonia, curated by Fernwayer experience-maker and collaborator Manila DiMaira. A native of Sicily and longtime resident of Barcelona, Manila blends insight with a deep curiosity. Her suggested route balances the bold energy of the city with the slower rhythm of the countryside — from Barcelona’s cultural core to the vineyards of Priorat, the wetlands of the Ebro Delta, and the historic charm of Girona.
Begin with three days in Barcelona, where Manila recommends focusing not on checklists but on rhythm: explore historic neighborhoods, check out design ateliers, sample Catalan cuisine, and seek out the quieter corners still alive with local tradition. | Head south into the wine country of Priorat, a lesser-known region with rolling hills and medieval villages. Stay in Siurana, a cliffside hamlet with sweeping views and access to local winemakers. | Continue to the Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s richest ecological regions. Here, you can bike through rice paddies, watch migratory birds, and experience a side of Catalonia rarely included in mainstream itineraries. | End in Girona, a city of ancient walls, celebrated chefs, and architectural quiet. It offers a slower, more introspective contrast to the pulse of Barcelona.
This itinerary reflects what Manila calls the “true essence of Catalonia” — a place of cultural pride, natural beauty, and distinct local identity. Manila first arrived in Barcelona more than two decades ago, while finishing her studies in Rome. She needed an internship for her thesis and chose Barcelona without expecting how quickly she’d feel at home.“Barcelona, 22 years ago, was a different place,” she says. “It was less cosmopolitan, more local. I remember wandering through narrow streets and finding tiny bars with real flamenco. It felt genuinely lived in.”
 “Tourism has definitely changed things,” she admits. “Places like La Rambla are overcrowded. Many locals have been pushed out by the rise in tourist rentals. But Catalans are proud of their traditions. They’ve started resisting these changes to preserve the city’s character.” That character is what Manila has grown to love. “I chose Barcelona because I felt an immediate connection. The Mediterranean lifestyle, the weather, the proximity to mountains and sea — it feels like home but also stretches me outside my comfort zone.” She relishes the contrast to her native Sicily. “I can take a train and be skiing in the Pyrenees in just over an hour. Where else do you get that?”
What keeps her in Barcelona is the balance of tradition and openness. “The cuisine, the olive groves, the vineyards — they remind me of southern Italy, but they’re uniquely Catalan.” And the city’s connectivity has made it easy to stay rooted while maintaining close ties to Italy. She speaks with admiration about the people: “Catalans are proud, resilient, and united. They have a strong sense of identity and community. Whether through demonstrations or cultural festivals, they come together. They’re efficient and organized, but also keep that relaxed Mediterranean vibe. It’s a unique combination.”

Catalonia: Barcelona & Beyond

7-day itinerary in Catalonia through Barcelona, Priorat, Siurana, Ebro Delta, Girona, and Cadaqués.

From the iconic Dubrovnik walls to the calm waters of Banje Beach, this three-day journey invites you to explore the city’s rich heritage and coastal beauty at your own pace. Walk through centuries of history, taste traditional Croatian food in atmospheric Old Town restaurants, and end your days with a golden boat ride in Dubrovnik’s shimmering bay.

DAY 1 – CITY WALLS AND FORTRESS | Begin your trip with a morning walk along Dubrovnik’s city walls. This 1.2-mile loop offers sweeping views over rooftops and sea, with countless photo moments along the way. For lunch, head to Proto Fish in the Old Town, known for its elegant terrace and fresh Adriatic seafood. In the afternoon, visit War Photo Limited, a striking gallery that documents human conflict through powerful photography. Continue to Lovrijenac Fortress, perched just outside the city walls, where stone stairs lead to panoramic views and centuries of defense history. In the evening, join a culinary walking tour led by locals. You’ll taste traditional dishes, hear family stories, and explore the city’s flavors through its oldest streets.

DAY 2 – BEACH, MOUNTAIN, AND SEA | Spend the morning at Banje Beach, just outside the Old Town gates. Swim in clear water, relax with a book, or simply take in the view of the city rising above the bay. After a midday break, make your way to Mount Srđ. Whether you hike or take the cable car, the view from the top is unforgettable, with wide horizons stretching over Dubrovnik and the coast. As the sun begins to set, step aboard a boat for a sunset cruise along the shoreline. The city glows behind you as the boat glides past islands and cliffs, closing the day on the water.

DAY 3 – MONASTIC AND BAROQUE HERITAGE | Start your day at the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, two of Dubrovnik’s most historic sanctuaries. These calm, beautiful places are filled with carved cloisters, quiet chapels, and traces of centuries past. For lunch, walk to Konoba Kopun, a small square near the Jesuit steps where traditional Dalmatian recipes are served with care. In the afternoon, explore Dubrovnik Cathedral, a baroque landmark filled with light, then visit the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of power in the Republic of Ragusa. As your final experience, leave the city behind and visit Trsteno, a coastal village known for its historic gardens. A guided walk and picnic offer a quiet, green farewell to your time in Dubrovnik.

WHERE TO STAY IN DUBROVNIK | If you want to be in the heart of it all, stay inside the Old Town. It’s full of charm but also crowds and stairs. For more space and sea views, choose neighborhoods like Ploče or Lapad just outside the walls. Both offer easy access while giving you a peaceful place to rest.

Croatia

Stone, Sea, Story in Dubrovnik

3 days in Dubrovnik with Old Town walks, exploring Fort Lovrijenac, Croatian food, and Banje Beach.

A city that moves through stories as much as streets, Buenos Aires invites travelers into its layered identity—through architecture, ritual, and rhythm. This three-day journey is designed for those who want more than a snapshot, weaving together curated experiences that unfold the city’s emotional and historical heart. From grand avenues and tango classes to quiet moments of mate and cultural evenings, each day offers a full immersion into the spirit of the Argentine capital.
DAY 1 – LANDMARKS AND FIRST STEPS | Begin with a guided city tour by car through Recoleta, San Telmo, and the Historic Quarter. Your host brings to life both the architecture and the lesser-known stories behind the plazas, statues, and neighborhoods that shaped the city. After a midday break, head to a tango studio for a class with a local dancer. Learn the basic steps, sip mate or wine, and connect to the emotional roots of this iconic movement.
DAY 2 – POLITICS, RITUAL, AND THEATER | Spend the morning on a walking tour exploring the city’s political legacy through Recoleta Cemetery, public monuments, and symbols of Peronism. In the afternoon, join a local host for a mate tasting session in her home, where you’ll prepare and share the traditional drink while learning its meaning in Argentine daily life. The day ends on Avenida Corrientes, where a cultural walk takes you through the city’s theater district, with bookstores, street food, and stories of the stage.
DAY 3 – FLAVOR AND EXPRESSION | A guided food tour leads you through the tastes of Palermo Soho, with stops for empanadas, choripán, asado, and sweet bites along the way. The experience weaves together local flavor and neighborhood energy, perfect for a slower-paced final day. In the early evening, step inside a historic tango house in San Telmo for a unique photography experience. Lights, shadows, and movement tell their own story as you enjoy a dinner immersed in the visual world of tango.
WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES | Base yourself in Palermo Soho for stylish boutique hotels, creative energy, and easy access to the day’s starting points. Recoleta offers a quieter pace and tree-lined elegance, with cafés, architecture, and green spaces ideal for walking. Both neighborhoods work well for this itinerary, and each gives you a distinct view of the city’s rhythm.
