Kirker Holidays expands Iberian offering with addition of La Palma and Gran Canaria

Kirker Holidays has expanded its Spain & Portugal brochure for 2025-26, adding La Palma and Gran Canaria in the Canaries, as well as Alicante.

The specialist tour operator has also added new hotels and experiences to its Iberian range, including a new route from Seville to Madrid on the Al Andalus luxury train.

It said the range of islands in the Canaries has been expanded to include La Palma and Gran Canaria following increased demand for “year-round sun and slower-paced escapes”.

A three-night break on La Palma costs from £896, while a three-night package on Gran Canaria costs from £1,377.

In Alicante, Kirker guests will stay in the old town at the Hospes Amérigo, a 19th century convent-turned-boutique hotel, where a three-night break costs from £834.

Other new hotels in Spain include the Parador de Toledo, where three-night packages cost from £759; METT Marbella Estepona, from £1,139 for three nights; and Hotel Londres y de Inglaterra in San Sebastián, from £967 for three nights.

New hotels in Portugal include Pestana Cidadela Cascais, Palacio de Tavira in the Algarve and Villa Foz, Porto.

All prices are based on two sharing and include return flights, B&B accommodation, private car transfers – or car hire if preferred – and the services of the Kirker concierge.

The new Al Andalus route is featured on an itinerary costing from £7,879, based on two sharing for an eight-night holiday, including flights, transfers, one night’s accommodation in Seville, six nights on the train, excursions and one night’s accommodation in Madrid.

Other new cultural experiences include free tickets to the Mezquita, a Unesco World Heritage Site in Córdoba, and expert-led tapas and Fado tours in Lisbon.
