Spain

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We enjoyed the trip and it met almost all of our expectations. The weather was terrible during the first week, but we survived. The guides were well informed and personable, and for the most part, the drivers were punctual. We appreciated the detailed instructions from Zicasso’s travel agency one day in advance, although we would have liked to know more of the details (departure times, tour times) at the start of the trip.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The Alhambra, Córdoba, Sevilla, and the time spent with our guide in Benalauría. We also really liked the Spanish people!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would not start the tour until at least two days after arriving in Madrid to rest up and get over jet lag. Also, in retrospect, the trip packed a lot into two weeks and as eighty-year-olds, we found ourselves needing a lot of rest. We should have scheduled more downtime. We definitely would not take an early-morning train from Madrid to Granada with no breakfast or even coffee again!
