Spain Food Trips

Loved Avignon, Arles, St. Paul de Venice. Amazed by the Dali Museum in Figueres. Awed by La Sagrada Família in Barcelona. Disappointed by all the construction around La Rambla. Wish we could have visited Parc Guell.

It was very interesting seeing all the different architecture. The cathedrals were beautiful. Sitting in Montmartre at an outdoor cafe having pizza and listening to a young man sing in the rain while other tourists danced and sang with him took it over the top.

It was a fun experience. This was our second trip to France but our first to Spain. Our TD did a great job bringing us all together on the coach which enhanced the enjoyment of the trip. He wanted to be sure he knew about each of us and what we expected from the trip.

There were 22 in our group, 16 associated with a Sun City community and 6 who joined on their own. A very congenial group! Our tour manager, Elena Planas, was top of her class! So prepared each day with information on our stops/tours, all touched by her wonderful humor. She balanced each day with great finesse. Highlights were a dinner with Fado music in Lisbon - and eating pastiche de nata (or Belem...sooo good!); visiting a one-woman olive oil production in a small village in Spain (sooo impressive is she!); Salamanca; bullfighting museum; Douro Valley (stunning!); walking a small bit of the Camino (wonderful guide!) and sharing all of this with our dear friends. A wonderful trip. Shout out to Collette for helping with our return flight - we missed our connection back to the US. Not a problem with Collette!

You will see things off the beaten trail, who knew there was an amphitheater in southern France still in use that rival's the one in Rome and is still used for bullfighting! In France! You won't miss the main attractions and you will do it door to door with guided service at every stop. Don't worry be happy! Our guide even took the time to purchase little treats that were local to the place where we stopped to give us a taste of the area specialty.

This face paced trip brings people to a variety of big cities (Paris, Monaco, and Barcelona) and small towns in France. The French countryside is beautiful and we learned a lot about France’s history, the monarchy and current efforts to preserve these beautiful buildings. However, in order to really visit and learn more about Paris and Barcelona, we added days onto our trip in both cities.
