If you are looking for a quick trip of Spain and want to see a variety of different locations in short period of time, then this trip is for you. , our guide was absolutely wonderful. Everything was meticulously organize and planned out. But be ready to travel and cover a lot of Spain in short amount of time. It can be a little exhausting, but in a good way. My only complaint would be some of the extra excursions. For example, the chosen Flamenco dinner show was absolutely awful. It was held in gymnasium style venue with horrible florescent lighting on a stage that was four feet off the ground which created a hollow sound underneath dancers. The choice of flamenco music used was not authentic and some of it was border line hokey. The dinner was very average. I just think Trafalgar could have picked a more authentic flamenco show instead of opting for the more touristy one. I would suggest waiting a day and going to one the Flamenco cave shows in Granada, which I did (on my own) and it was a hundred times better. Now Trafalgar made an excellent choice in the Olive Oil farm visit/dinner, that was great. It was authentic, the owner gave a great presentation and the meal was wonderful. But overall, the trip was wonderful and I would definitely consider Trafalgar for future tours.

Had a wonderful time on Trafalgar’s Spanish Wonder trip. A big shout-out to our fun and energetic Tour Director , and our excellent driver (also !) — they really made the journey enjoyable and smooth.
Loved the thoughtful touch from Trafalgar in including a complimentary Christmas dinner, which added to the festive spirit and was very much appreciated.
A couple of suggestions: it would be great to have an extra night in Valencia as the city is rich and vibrant, and one night just isn’t enough. Also, the farewell dinner venue in Barcelona could be improved — the food at La Botiga was disappointing, especially compared to the Christmas dinner at Mussol, which was the best meal of the trip.
Overall, a great experience with a fantastic team behind it.
