Spain Tour Review: Madrid, Ronda, 10-Night Vacation

Overall, it was a great trip. It took a moment to get used to the messaging app, but we eventually got it.

The drivers were on time and the accommodations good, with a couple of caveats, but all in all, quite good.

We could have done without the trip to Ronda proper, but it was nice to be out of the cities for a day to see some of the countryside. Ronda is largely just a tourist trap, in my view. If people want a Pueblo Blanco experience, they should just take the drive to the villages.

Our guide needed to have our names on a placard or sign to find us at the rail station. It would be good to know if the drivers are hired drivers or from taxi companies.

Our roommate had an air-conditioning issue. It was eventually resolved, but the interaction with the manager on duty left something to be desired as he essentially told my wife she didn't know how to use the air conditioner and screwed it up, which we believe was not true.
