This was one of the best trips I have done with Explore. Stunning scenery,a great guide, very comfortable accommodation and great food - except there was always way too much! Only issue was weather wasn't always kind to us, but it didn't stop us enjoying the trip. Some of the walking is quite strenuous but the effort gave the rewards. This is a totally unknown destination back home and I will certainly be recommending it.

Overall, seeing almost the entire Spain in such a short time the trip was well organized other than my previous comments. Some of the hotels could have been a little cleaner, located better and treat us more efficiently, ie. to check in upon arrival no matter the time.
