Spain Tour: 20K Race, Madrid, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Wine Country, Bilbao, Guggenheim Museum

On November 5th 2013 a team of 16 from “The Pasadena Pacers Running Club” from Southern California arranged by our running tour group, arrived in Spain to do the Behobia-San Sebastian 20K race.  The race was spectacular, it was beyond beautiful and even more memorable were the spectators who were so enthusiastic that even though the race was tough you felt like you were flying because of their exuberance! 

 The service from the Madrid tour operator was so professional, every aspect went off without a hitch. Our every need was catered to, even the ride to and from the race! It was our guide's day off because the race itself had arranged public transportation to and from for all of us runners.  But instead of us going through this grooling process he arranged for us to have a private bus take us to the start in Behobia and drop us off back at our hotel in San Sebastian after the race! And if you are a runner you know how invaluable this really is!  Our guide even took pictures of us along the race course and cheered us on. It’s really impossible not to fall in love with this guy...we spent four days with him in San Sebastian and he knows every nook and crannie of where to get the best food in this gastronomic capital of Spain, and he will personally take you there!  He totally went out of his way to make sure we had a most perfect time.  

We saw and felt so much beauty in Madrid, San Sebastian and Barcelona, these cities are amazing with history, food, and friendly well dressed Spaniards! These people are proud of their country and are so warm and engaging. 

The itinerary was absolutely perfect, we saw and did so much!  Excursions to the wine country, a MUST DO experience at the Sideria, Cider house, walking and culture tours, the Guggenheim Museum, and so much more!  We stayed in such beautiful hotels, with such warm and friendly service, expertly located with really great food!  

All the drivers were spot on with timing and our other guides were so great, this travel company definitely knows how to pick their people! I never had a worry the entire trip, it was expertly orchestrated!  

If you are thinking of taking a trip to Spain, please choose the team at this travel company, you will not be disappointed! I promise!
