Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My husband & I used one of Zicasso's travel agencies to plan our 17 day vacation to Spain. Our travel team were fantastic travel agents who helped me to hand craft an extremely memorable trip from Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela to Madrid. All but one of the tours they planned for us were private with exceptionally talented tour guides. What made this trip even more exceptional was that I was also tracing my Asturian ancestry and visiting my maternal grandfather's birthplace. Not only did I secure the records of 5 of his siblings, but I also touched the font in the church where he was baptized in 1885. What was even more surprising was the discovery of Basque roots on my maternal grandmother's side of the family. Needless to say, I would recommend Zicasso this travel agency to any traveler who is considering a trip to Spain. I am deeply indebted to them for a fantastic journey. Elaine O

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

Northern Spain was truly enchanting and beautiful at the same time. We really enjoyed visiting San Sebastian and our pinxtos tour, Bilbao & the Guggenheim Museum, Guernika and its historical significance, the Spanish & French Basque Coasts with their spectacular vistas, Asturias and with its remarkable scenery and my own personal ancestral discoveries, and the cathedral & city of Oviedo, witnessing the pilgrims in phases of their journeys from different locations on "The Camino of Santiago de Compostela" and seeing them gathered in the Square of Santiago de Compostela in front of the majestic cathedral, The Prado Museum and its magnificent artistic offerings, and finally, the majesty of Madrid.

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

I would only do private tours, since they were much more personal. The guides were so knowledgeable and accomodating, since my husband wears a brace on his leg and could not walk very fast.
