Most enjoyable tour I have been on. The history of each location allowed me wanting to learn more about Spain and seek additional information on my own.
This tour was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. The pace was perfect for me! Several nights in Costa del Sol and two nights in Madrid. Perfect! The tour manager Carmen was kind, thoughtful, fun, informative and entertaining! Some highlights of the tour were the home hosted dinner, where we met local woman Esperanza- and she cooked for us a veritable feast of traditional Spanish food. It was a meal I’ll never forget. I also enjoyed the Flamenco lesson! I went on this tour in December, and Spain was bustling with beautiful Christmas markets, and the streets were filled with decorative lights and festive music! This was my 6th Collette tour and they just are getting better and better!!!
I loved seeing everything and hearing all the history. The tour guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. The food and hotels were great. Our tour guide Carlos played music for us on the bus according to which country we were in. He also was able to find a famous guitar players music and played it for a man who was on our trip. It was wonderful music and the musician was great. I would and do recommend it to all my friends.

The tour included many nice stops. The tour guide was very young and inexperienced, however, he made the tour enjoyable. The stop at Elvas was awful. The town was vacant and nothing was open for dinner. We had to eat at the hotel but they weren’t prepared to feed the entire tour group. That was poor planning! The hotel was beautiful but my room overlooked what looked like a slum with barking dogs all night. My favorite spot was Peñíscola where I would have like to spend more time. Also would have liked more shopping time alotted. Otherwise the trip was very nice and I would recommend it.
Embark on a Spanish adventure as you take in medieval architecture, idyllic landscapes, and delectable cuisine. Marvel at the Prado Museum, a treasure trove of European masterpieces. Stand in awe before the majestic Cathedral of Seville, the world's third-largest cathedral. Feel the fiery passion of Flamenco with reserved seating at an electrifying show. Wander through the enchanting Alhambra palace, a realm of exotic beauty and grandeur. Treat yourself to an authentic paella feast, bursting with flavors. Be captivated by Antoni Gaudí’s architectural wonders in Barcelona, including the iconic La Sagrada Familia. Immerse yourself in Spain's rich tapestry of art, history, and culture, all set against the stunning backdrop of sun-kissed Mediterranean shores and towering mountain ranges.
Walking through the medinas; the Alhambra. Tour managers gave us lots of useful history and took good care of the groups activities and needs. The activities at the destinations were well-planned.
