Usually a super independent person, was grateful to have made some friends throughout the Contiki along the way! Everyone is always super welcoming, the organisation for Spain and Portugal was amazing! Just note that Morocco becomes operated by a third party company, so the atmosphere and organisation were completely different to the first leg of the trip. Regardless, saw some beautiful places across all 3 countries!
