Travel Review: Luxury Tour of Spain, Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian, Ibiza, Flamenco Show, Tapas Tour

The tapas tour was a perfect introduction to Barcelona. We toured the gothic quarter while tasting cava, wine and several traditional tapas dishes. The driving tour was excellent in Barcelona also. We saw and learned so much about the city in just four hours, and were able to continue exploring on our own the rest of the day feeling like we knew enough and were comfortable to get around.

Ibiza was such a pleasant surprise as far as the night scene, the food, the beautiful beaches and especially old town. We had a rental car arranged for us, which was a very good recommendation in order to get around and see the entire island in just a few days. We also had restaurant reservations made for us that apparently were impossible to get if you waited until the last minute. 

San Sebastian was so beautiful and again started out with an excellent pintxos tour in old town. We learned traditions and history while tasting traditional pintxos and drinking cider and wine. This city is amazing for taking hikes, walking along the beach, eating and drinking.

We ended our trip in Madrid. We saw a traditional flamenco show in a great part of the city, not far from bars and nightlife. We did a walking tour of the city that covered a lot of ground and again allowed us to get an understanding for the layout of the city and see a lot of the sights in a short amount of time.

Overall, it was impossible to pick one thing that was most memorable, because the entire trip was well planned and thought out. I'm extremely thankful for our agent's help in planning this trip of a lifetime for us.
