Spain Vacation Review: Barcelona, Cordoba, Seville, Granada, Guided Tours, Museum Visits, Neighborhood Restaurants

The travel agent from our Spain tour company exceeded our expectations. She truly listened to what we had in mind and delivered everything and more. We wanted somewhat of an unstructured trip - to stay in small, nice local hotels so that we could get a good feel for the towns/cities and residents and we preferred to take mostly small highlight tours with only one or two day trips. We wanted to be able walk the streets and get a flavor for Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Barcelona. We were interested in visiting some museums and galleries at our own pace and of discovering other interesting sites. And we wanted the experience of trying various types of neighborhood restaurants. 

Our travel agent designed a wonderful trip for us that met each of our goals. All but one of the hotels exceeded our expectations and that one met our expectations. The tours were interesting and personalized. The travel arrangements were perfect and suggestions she made that we hadn't considered were spot on. 

We met many lovely, interesting Spaniards and fellow travelers, the weather was perfect and the only complaint we had was about a tour that we booked ourselves.
