A members' travel house for expats in Valencia. Small buses, smaller groups, restaurants the guidebooks haven't found yet — and a Sunday you don't have to plan.
Born in Valencia, raised between Catalonia and Madrid. We pick the restaurant, the route, the wine — and we usually know the owner's mother.
Fourteen-seat vans, eight to twelve guests. Quiet roads, faster pickups, real conversation at dinner. No name-tags.
All-in: rooms, transport, meals, wine list, welcome kit, host time. No optional upsells, no surprise tabs at checkout.
Most travelers book their second trip with someone from their first. The Bougie Club WhatsApp is louder than the calendar.
Altea is considered to be one of the most photographed town on the Costa Blanca and has been inspiring artists and painters for decades. It is a popular tourist destination, particularly for those seeking a more relaxed and traditional…
Reserve a seat →Montanejos is a full-day nature adventure in the heart of the Valencian Community. Relax by the blue lagoon, admire the breathtaking Salto de la Novia waterfall, or take part in hiking, rafting, and kayaking. Along the way, meet fellow…
Reserve a seat →A long weekend in one of Spain's most quietly perfect hill towns — pink-walled houses, Roman ruins, and the slowest dinners you've had in years. Albarracín is two and a half hours inland from Valencia in the Sierra de Albarracín; we stay…
Reserve a seat →Two days along the wild northern coast of Catalunya — hidden coves, Empordà wineries, and one very long lunch on the rocks. We leave Valencia early Saturday, sleep in a converted masia outside Begur, and meander home Sunday evening.
Reserve a seat →Five questions, one recommendation. Ninety seconds. The host who'll be on the trip writes back the same day.
Start the quiz →Twenty-six departures, March through December. Filter by month or by group. Most fill in under a fortnight.
See the calendar →Your eight. Tell us when and roughly what, and we'll send a written dossier — villa, chef, route, wine list — within 48 hours.
Make an inquiry →An annual membership for the people who travel with us more than once a year. No commission, calendar first, first call on private dates.
Learn more →We waive the 6% booking fee on every Bougie departure, every year.
Members see the next year's calendar 30 days before anyone else does.
When a private week opens up, the members' list rings first.
Trips fill in a fortnight. Members move to the top of the list, automatically.
“I'm 47, single, new to Valencia, and I do not need to make friends in a hostel. Bougie solved a problem I didn't know had a name.”
“My wife and I joined the Club after one mixed weekend in Mallorca. We've stopped planning trips entirely.”
“Booked a private week for my mother's 70th. They handled my eight cousins better than I do.”
Once a month, the next quarter's calendar, a long lunch worth flying for, and not much else.
