Review: Tour of Spain & Portugal, Lisbon, Barcelona, Madrid, Nerja, Granada, Sagrada Familia, Royal Palace, Tapas Tour, Art

Looking back, the trip was above and beyond our expectations, which were admittedly very high.  We felt welcomed the moment we landed in Barcelona.  Every detail of the visit to each destination was carefully attended to.   High speed trains connected us between Barcelona and Madrid, then  Madrid to Malaga and Nerja where a car had been arranged.  This allowed us to explore nearby cities, to spend an afternoon on the deck of our own sailboat, and to visit the Alhambra in Granada where we were met by a knowledgeable guide.  We almost felt guilty for walking to the front of almost every line, whether it be The Goudi Cathedral in Barcelona or the Pastéis de Belém Bakery in Lisbon.   Our guides knew the secret elevators, the locals story, and always freely shared their knowledge of their home areas.   In each city we were given time to explore on our own, but suggestions for museums, restaurants, and shopping areas were up to date, accurate, and insightful
