Happy New Year from all of us at Upgrade Spain🎉!
The future is promising, and we’re excited about the opportunities it holds.
Let’s make 2024 a year of awesome achievements and unforgettable trips in Spain!
If you are looking for great destinations to take your group, we are here to help!
Let’s crush it together!
If you’re seeking a destination that combines natural beauty, rich history, and a vibrant tourist scene, look no further than Salou.
Salou, a charming town in the Catalonia region, offers an incredible mix of cultural experiences and stunning landscapes. While the area is well-known for its golden beaches and sunny weather, it has so much more to offer than just sunbathing.
Enjoy sunny beaches, explore the historic old town and visit PortAventura World for fun and adventure.
Take advantage of Salou’s location to explore Tarragona’s Roman history or explore the natural beauty of the Ebro Delta.
Salou is a hidden gem in Spain that offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure and culture! Check it out 🙂
We had the opportunity to assist one of our wonderful groups in the sunny city of Malaga recently.
Check out this snapshot from our trip! 🙂
Our group enjoyed authentic Andalusian cuisine on a tapas tour, a traditional Paella lunch in the town of Mijas, a Mediterranean boat trip and more!
Malaga is an ideal destination for groups looking to enjoy the sun, beaches, and cuisine, offering group activities such as guided tours, excursions, and water sports.
Good food, good company, and unforgettable moments – that’s what it’s all about.
Until Our Next Adventure…
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Radisson Blu in Barcelona and we were absolutely delighted with our experience. What impressed us the most about this hotel was its commitment to sustainability, demonstrated by its LEED Gold certification. Additionally, the hotel is situated in Eixample, a trendy neighborhood that is popular among locals, providing a truly authentic experience.
The outdoor spaces were a highlight of our visit, with two terraces available for events or simply enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean climate. Hotel facilities include 182 rooms and two meeting rooms with a maximum capacity of 60 people in theatre-style seating.
Until next time! And thanks for breakfast 😉
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Madrid one more time, and let us tell you, it did not disappoint!
From incredible restaurants and wineries to captivating flamenco shows and the historic city of Toledo. Madrid offers a variety of experiences that are sure to please any traveller.
If you’re interested in exploring this lovely destination, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
We’d be more than happy to help you plan your trip 🙂
As a DMC located in Barcelona, we can help you with all kinds of groups who wish to travel to Spain. We know that our core business comes from incentive groups, but we would like to let you know, that we can also arrange group trips to all kind of sports events.
Rally in Salou, F1, emblematic marathon in Valencia or unique 20 km trail run Behobia – San Sebastian are only few of the events worth taking part in.
In Upgrade Spain we can help you with all necessary land arrangements: transfers, hotels, restaurants, information about event, etc. It is also worth mentioning that many of us take part in those events personally 😉
So we will definitely take your request with professionalism and passion!

Looking forward to meeting you soon 🙂
We are thrilled to finally go back to Oslo and TravelMatch! Last year’s online version was great, but nothing beats physical presence in one of Norway’s most important trade shows for our business. Together with our partners in PLUS DMC, you will once again find us in the orange corner of the venue, and our agenda is steadily filling up.
The future is looking very good for Upgrade Spain and the positive vibe of an end to the pandemic, is spreading across all partners and collaborators. We’re receiving a lot of requests for 2022/2023 and we’re more excited than ever, to host groups in beautiful and sunny Spain. Welcome back everyone!
You may have had the feeling that travel restrictions are ever-changing lately. What’s valid one day, has changed the next, and it’s difficult to be updated. It might even be different from region to region, as local authorities evaluate the risk of infection according to EU regulations.
This is where Upgrade Spain can help. We receive updates daily and are willing to assist in any way we can. As a general rule, Spain is now open for Tourism. With the EU digital Covid certificate you can enter the country, just by filling out a Health Control form and uploading your certificate. You will then get a QR code to show both when boarding and arriving to Spain.
As soon as you are out of the airport, it’s no longer mandatory to wear a facemask, but to enter transfers, hotels, stores or restaurants, it’s still necessary. There are no requirements to show the EU vaccination pass at any restaurants. Nightlife in bars and discos still have restrictions in opening hours, you’ll not able to dance, but can have a drink at a designated area. All events still have limited capacity and require distance both inside and outside.
Despite these regulations, we are delighted to welcome you back to Spain and can’t wait to see you again!
Since late May, we can call ourselves the proud owners of the GSTC Professional certificate in Sustainable Tourism. To us, it’s a really big deal to participate in increasing sustainable tourism knowledge and practices and to advocate for best practices and spreading awareness. Together with our friends and partners from PLUS DMC, we’ve all made a commitment to put Sustainability on our agenda and help each other advance in the matter!
Across all our destinations, we will help turning words into tangible actions and make sure our providers and collaborators do the same. We want to support the Spanish Tourism and help preserve it as best we can, by keeping close contact with local stakeholders and make sure their sustainable principles are as legit as ours. We hope to be joined on this journey with all our customers as well, in order for us All, to be an ongoing part of the Solution!
