Travel Review: Luxury Spain Tour, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Granada

We loved the variety of traveling styles we were able to participate in.  Not only did we have a private driver for the trip from Granada to Seville, by way of Cordoba but we were able to take the high speed train to Madrid and a flight on Vueling from Barcelona.  Planes, Trains and Automobiles, what fun!  

We also really appreciated the small, boutique hotels we were able to stay in.  The staff at each one went out of their way to make us feel welcome and spoke enough English, coupled with our minimal Spanish, for us to feel comfortable in venturing out on our own!  They were all conveniently located within walking distance of everything we wished to do with lots of dining choices also close by.  

The opportunity to have private tours was wonderful.  All of our guides were amazing but Manuel in Seville really stood  out for us.  Being able to make a personal connection with each of these local guides was a highlight for us.  The fact that all of them were from the cities they were sharing with us really made a difference,  We felt very much like we were on a tour of the local sites with a friend and the love and pride they each had for their home was evident!
