Luxury Spain Tour Review: Sevilla, Cordoba, Cadiz, Malaga, Alhambra, Picasso Museum, Cooking Class, Sherry Tasting

This was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. The suggestions of where to visit, where to stay, what activities to consider, and pace of the vacation were just perfect. We travelled 17 days in Andalusia region of Spain. Our travel agency arranged fabulous tour guides that were very knowledgeable and we learned much history at the same time as walking around. It added great richness. We also loved the cooking classes- one in Sevilla, one in Vejer. I am not sure it would have occurred to me to sign up for a cooking class, but they were excellent ways to learn about the culture and the foods, walk through the local markets, and enjoy cooking and eating. The mechanics- such as picking up a rental car, or meeting guides in the middle of the busy Alhambra, or finding our way through windy streets -- all worked seamlessly because of the arrangements made ahead of time. Truly, we were able to just "experience" the vacation and not spend time problem solving. I have already recommended our travel agency to three individuals who commented on the photos they saw of our trip. The personalized service, ability to work together to identify activities we would like, and advice on pace of activities - including planned "down days" - was just perfect!!  
Truly was a privilege to have a vacation like this!
