Travel Review: Spain Vacation, Cordoba, Granada, Seville, Malaga, Alhambra, Mezquita, Local Culture, Jewish History

Trip was fantastic notwithstanding that our flight to Spain was delayed by one day due to snowstorm and that there was unusual rainfall everyday  throughout our trip, This success was principally due to the initial careful planning by this travel agent, her accessibility  at all times  (including checking with us on a regular basis as to how  the day had gone)  and, in particular,her  flexibility, ingenuity  and sensitivity in making necessary adjustments  in light of unexpected weather conditions.

Moreover, although we are seasoned travelers accustomed to traveling alone, she impressed us by reflecting her responsibility  and concern in meeting us initially upon our arrival in Spain and regularly thereafter during our nine  day vacation in different locales. It is always comforting to know that there is someone local to whom one can turn should a difficult situation suddenly present itself.

The hotels selected were invariably excellent. They were well-situated to allow walking to the major attractions in each of the cities  visited.  The room in the hotel in Ronda, in particular,  allowed for one of the most spectacular views ever experienced.

Finally, the excellent itinerary for this particular trip to Andalucia was based upon a proposal in an initial email proposal from Zicasso. As we were interested in such a trip but had a few more days available ( before the snowstorm) we were able to make modifications and adjustments after telephone and email  exchanges with our agent. She clearly explained options available to us and introduced  modifications to the original itinerary  designed to satisfy our expressed interests. In each of the cities we had an appropriate balance between walking with experienced guides and having free time to wander on our own.

In short, the trip was wonderful, and credit for such must be given to our travel agent and this company. We could not have been more satisfied with her professional service. She was terrific!!!
