Luxury Tour of Spain Travel Review: Madrid, San Sebastian, Penedes Wine Region, Wine Tastings, Market & Dinner Experience, Culture

We were surprised by the distance walking (~ 7 miles) on our first day in Madrid because we didn't get a lot of sleep on the flight; the five-star hotel in Valladolid was unique, but the service was not on par with the five-star hotel in Madrid; the hotel in Barcelona was in a difficult location to get to (it took our transfer from the Airport and extra 20 minutes to even get us there and we had to either meet some of our tour guides elsewhere or walk to a van elsewhere, plus at night it didn't feel like the best part of town and when we arrived, the evening staff were not overly helpful (we would have preferred a place that could serve breakfast instead of a boxed breakfast); we would have liked to go into Casa Battlo as part of our Park Guell and Sagrada Familia tour; finally, Girona and Costa Brava were not great as a day trip.  While this looks like a lot, they are refinements and we're trying to be as specific as possible to help improve future travel experiences.  Overall, we were very satisfied!
