En General nos ha gustado el viaje.
Los lugares que hemos visitado han sido hermosos.
El primer dia habia una chica en silla de ruedas en Madrid, cuando la chica subio al autobus y trato de buscar asiento fue la ultima en subir y todos los asientos estaban ocupados con muletas iba la pobre recorriendo el autobus, mientras el autobus estaba en movimieto... hasta que empezamos a gritarle al guia para que parara el autobus pues la chica se iba callendo.
La otra fue que en 2 dias consecutivos un grupo que venia en parejas se sentaron separados todos en ventanilla, dejandonos unicamente asientos en pasillo y sin la posibilidad de sentarnos con nuestra familia, al quejarnos con el guia, no hicieron nada.
Al dia siguiente despues de una parada, ese mismo grupo entro al autobus antes y movio nuestras pertenencias de nuestros asientos para hacer lo mismo, sentarse todos en ventanilla. YO trate se sentarme al lado de una senora en un asiento libre de pasillo y la senora no me dejo sentarme ahi, puso su bolsa, al pedirle de favor si podia mover si bolsa para yo sentarme, pues era el unico asiento libre, la hija sentada enfrente empezo a gritarme que no me querian que yo me sentara al lado de la senora, que la senora queria ir ella sola en los 2 asientos, otro pasajero se dio cuenta y me hizo el gran favor de moverse junto a su esposo para que yo me pudiera sentar junto a mi hija, mientras los guias solo nos veian, hasta que me dirigi directo a los guias, lo unico que hicieron es hablar con todo el autobus para pedir cada quien se sentara donde venia. Nada agradable. Despues de esto nos cambiamos de autobus con un grupo de 6 otros pasajeros en Portugal y el viaje fue maravillosamente agradable con ellos.
During your 1-hour tour you will enjoy short Segway experience in the most beautiful place in Barcelona - Old Port.
History of this place begins in 4th century BC when Barcelona was occupied by the Laietani. Barkeno, on Montjuïc, was their main settlement. But Port Vell started it’s port activity only since the 11th century AD. The port that you can see now was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Before this, it was a run-down area of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories.
You will see the harbor, palm tree boulevard, and the heart of the old Port – Drassanes. Here you can see Barcelona Royal Shipyard which nowadays houses the Barcelona Maritime Museum. Construction started during the 13th century under the rule of Peter III of Aragon. The shipyard's restoration was finished in early 2013. The Museum was reopened in 2014.
Along the way, you will enjoy Barcelona’s unique monuments, for example Monument of Columbus is a 60 m tall monument to Christopher Columbus at the lower end of La Rambla, main street of the old town. It was constructed for the World's Fair in Barcelona in 1888 in order to honor Columbus' first voyage to the Americas.
You can also see the Head of Barcelona, a 20 m sculpture done by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein for the 1992 Summer Olympics. It include styles of the three main artists of this city: Antoni Gaudi, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro.
Then there is the Gambrinus Lobster Statue next to the Head of Barcelona. It was originally part of the decor at the Gambrinus seafood restaurant. The 10m long fibre-glass sculpture was designed and built by Spanish artist Javier Mariscal. When the Gambrinus restaurant closed, the statue was bought by Barcelona city council.

Overall a great experience. Would suggest only a drive by through Marbella and more time in Ronda and Valencia. Hotels were very comfortable. Tour guides were knowledgeable with some providing even more information than they probably needed to.
