Review: Luxury Trip to Spain & Portugal, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Sintra, Cascais, Toledo, Fatima, Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell

,Our trip was so stress free and enjoyable from the landing at the airport to being picked up by our drivers to the staff greeting us at our hotels.  When we were uncomfortable, our travel planner and her staff were able to make immediate changes to make our experience the best.  We were able to experience the places we were at not ever stressing about what we needed to do next, because we knew that every detail would be taken care of. 

We lost all track of time, what day it was, where we needed to be next, because we trusted our drivers, tour guides and especially our travel planner were going to take care of everything. Making our experience at every destination we went to the most memorable, until we experienced the next destination and felt how can it get any better.  From our first tour in Lisbon to our last evening at Barcelona were were ecstatic about our trip.

Starting in Lisbon our city tour of the April 25th Suspension bridge and the Christ Statue was unbelievable.  Our pilgrimage to Fatima was a dream come true.  Getting to walk on the beaches of Europe's most western point was indeed memorable. The amazing views from the Pena Palace in Sintra made the "10 minute" hike worth every step, followed by the most wonderful meal in Cascais, at local family owned restaurant. Madrid was so beautiful,  I wish we could have had more time. Toledo was quite magical, our tour guide treated us like family.  Seville, although very different, was my most spiritual.  We entered the Basilica of La Macarena,  I was truly overwhelmed by the feeling of being in the presence of Godliness.  It was truly breathtaking.   Walking through the streets of Seville, I no longer felt like a tourist.  Even went to a local laundromat to do our laundry. 

Our son and new daughter in laws wedding in Sitges was beautiful and also breathtaking.  

Barcelona, was our last excursion and our travel planner and her staff did not disappoint by scheduling a last minute tour of La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, can't image not having seen them.  Pictures do not capture the sensation of being there.  

We were also glad to be able to have a private tour with our travel company's guide. We visited over coffee and then he took us to visit La Boquera a wonderful market place and walked the streets of Barcelona,

Thanks again for an experience of a lifetime.  Thanks to all of our very knowledgeable tour guides, the drivers who managed to get us around, the hotel staff that made us comfortable and fed us a wonderful breakfast every morning.  I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.
