Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

The communication with Zicasso’s travel company was terrific, with daily updates and prompt responses to any question or issue. The drivers and guides were always on time/early and friendly. We were able to add a person for two outings at the last minute due to weather, which was a wonderfully flexible response. The outing information provided ahead of time was accurate, including pictures, and all ticket links worked great. The trip was very nicely customized for our family.

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

Caminito del Rey was gorgeous and a private guided tour with just us and the guide was so much better than the larger groups we saw there. The via ferrata was a real adventure and physically challenging for a shorter person, but it was so amazing that we did that as a family, and the guides were very focused on us having a great experience. Seeing and meeting people in small communities where generations have been building on traditions was special and the bread-making / goat-cheese visits had their own unique value.

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

I would not walk the Mediterranean Steps. The views were great, but not that different from above at Gibraltar, and the steps were arduous and hazardous, with uneven rocky areas and questionable rails, so definitely not for the less able/fit. Also, after multiple days of hiking, biking, and climbing I found them very hard on my knees.

I would also have liked choices/input for the tapas tour to make it more different than other meals and to avoid things our family does not like.

Lastly, I would have asked for some extra towels at our villa. I was trying not to be a bother and I’m sure they would have provided some had I asked. Maybe they should routinely provide a few extra.
