“This is a wonderful trip with some excellent and varied walks. The hotel where we stayed was run by Jim and Pilar and you really feel you are part of the family. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The food is wonderful. We are vegetarian, which usually means that you are a bit of an after thought. Not here, the kitchen tries to cater for every diet and we had some lovely dishes and great (and generous) packed lunches. The weather was a bit iffy when we were there, but the tour leader Alvaro has years of experience and knows the area backwards, so he would know what the best walks were for the cloudier or dodgier days. The walking was very varied and the scenery is spectacular. When we were there we saw lots of birds and the wild flowers were wonderful. Also we had an especially nice group which added greatly to the enjoyment of the week.”

“It was a great week which far exceeded our expectations. Good food, comfortable hotel, magnificent views, and a really informed, enthusiastic and attentive guide who had the knack of making us all feel as if we had his undivided attention. The hotel owners, Jim and Pilar, went out of their way to satisfy our diverse dietary requirements and provided a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.”

“The organizers of our trip must’ve known Spain very well because they chose very interesting cities to visit and also knew the best tours to take in each city. The itinerary was very well organized and properly balanced. And it was a pleasant surprise to be able to stay in each of the carefully chosen hotels in the various cities on the tour. Those hotels had excellent accommodations as well as European buffet breakfasts and usually also a nice restaurant and lounge to relax in in the evenings. At first I was concerned about how well we would be able to use the Spanish railroad system to go from city to city. But it was actually quite easy And I forgot how relaxing taking the train can be. It is much quieter than an airplane and it was always enjoyable to look at at the Spanish countryside rather than white knuckling ones way driving along unfamiliar roads. Basically it was very simple to order a taxi cab to get to the train station . Most of all in each of these wonderful cities we had a carefully chosen tour by a local tour agency that had been pre-scheduled as part of the overall travel package. All of the people we met were very nice and we made some good acquaintances along the way. I believe this is probably an excellent way to discover other countries and even to revisit them if one is not been back to Europe for a while.”
