ANNOUNCING NEW REPRESENTATION
Founded in 1999 by Virginia Irurita, Made for Spain and Portugal and its team of more than 40 local experts has built the kinds of relationships that change how people experience the Iberian Peninsula. We're thrilled to welcome them into our collection!
In Spain and Portugal, the art of living well isn't just practiced, it's been perfected. Here, afternoons unfold over endless courses, conversations linger in centuries-old tavernas, and hospitality isn't a service but a way of being.
Yet discovering this rhythm, these tables, these moments that locals cherish requires more than a guidebook. It requires the kinds of connections that Made for Spain & Portugal has spent 26 years cultivating.
Their team can arrange private access to the Royal Palace of Madrid's hidden rooms, secure invitations to exclusive clubs like Gran Peña, or organize after-hours visits to iconic museums such as the Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, where curators guide guests through collections in the quiet that comes only when doors close to the public. But what makes their journeys unforgettable isn’t simply access – it’s the people travelers meet along the way.
An afternoon with a marquis and his wife in their Seville home, learning family history over lunch. A private flamenco fiesta, where guests meet the gypsy family dancing and singing for them in an experience that captures the real joy of flamenco.
Time spent with artisans, winemakers, and chefs who open their studios, cellars, and kitchens to share what they’ve perfected over lifetimes. Thoughtfully arranged through years of trust, these encounters transform travel from observation into genuine interaction.
That same spirit of partnership is carried forward in their relationships with travel advisors. They see themselves as extensions of each advisor's team, offering honest guidance, proactive recommendations, and creative solutions rather than simply executing requests. This partnership ensures that travel advisors consistently deliver journeys that feel seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely one-of-a-kind.
