We really enjoyed our trip to Spain.
The hotels were awesome and in great locations. All of the guides were wonderful; we learned so much about the history and culture of Spain. I feel ike our local contacts could have checked in with us more, but, when we reached out to them they were very responsive.
The overall trip was great. Thank you!
