Travel Review: Luxury Spain & Portugal Tour, Bilbao, Seville, Lisbon, Pintxos, Food Tour, 14-Day Trip

My husband & I are lifelong foodies. Inspired by Anthony Bourdain, we wanted to see Spain's beauty and experience it's fabulous variety of foods. From Bilbao to Seville then to Lisbon , Portugal, our adventure was both memorable and fulfilling! We dined at 3 starred Michelin restaurants, to small quaint no-star restaurants and to pintxos bars. Every dish was amazingly delicious, especially the differently made pintxos that crowded each eateries' counters.
  We were in awe of every cities' architecture both ancient and modern and their historical and cultural importance. The cathedrals, museums, palaces, as well as the residential and commercial  buildings were impressively beautiful.
 We throughly enjoyed our expert guides and their depth of knowledge in art & culture. They were great listeners as well.
  Our chauffeurs were very skilled, professional and extremely punctual. One said that he took a 3 level driving course that included professional security training; very impressive.
Our main contact at the travel company, Zicasso's partner in Spain was outstanding and professional. She is courteous, soft spoken, yet authoritative, & efficient. She is also patient, understanding, compassionate, is quick thinking and is attentive to each detail changes. Her expertise gave us security & assurance of our plans. Her service is by far beyond excellent.  We want to thank her for all she did.  This trip was mine & my  husband's 71st birthday gift to each other.
