An incredible, packed trip made possible by a local specialist

Oct 8 - Oct 16, 2023
What an incredible 5-city 8-day trip, made possible by Marta's thoughtful recommendations and local knowledge. Despite having spent some time living in Sevilla, when it came to planning our Andalucian road trip I felt overwhelmed by options and struggled to discern quality and authenticity from slick marketing and cleverly framed photos. Marta did not steer us wrong once - the place we stayed in Sevilla is probably one of my favorite places we've ever stayed, anywhere. The location of our apartment in Granada could not have been more perfect - well-appointed with a direct view of the Alhambra and within walking distance to all the key sites. She even booked us a day hike through the majestic Sierra Nieves that seamlessly fit into our rather packed itinerary between Sevilla and Ronda, and set us up with the most delightful hyper-local (lived around the corner from where we stayed!) guide in Tangier that made that experience all the more special. The transportation she coordinated (trains, ferries, rental cars, and drivers) all worked out perfectly and saved us a not insignificant amount of stress in knowing it was all taken care of. And she did this all while patiently adapting our itinerary several times so that it fit our budget and evolving interests. This trip would not have been nearly as successful and low-stress without Marta's expertise - thank you!

Activity Review
These five stars are a direct result of our tour guide, Lina. She was given a tricky assignment - to show us Tangier in three hours or less. She wisely kept us in the old quarter - not only did this mean we were able to see some historical sites and visit some local artisans without spending precious time covering long distances, but this is also where she grew up, and therefore where she was most familiar (and recognized!). Lina was warm, engaging, and knowledgeable about her home neighborhood and the history of Tangier. We had lovely conversations as we meandered the winding streets and somehow left as the proud new owners of two Moroccan rugs.
