People often ask us for planning tips for a luxury Spain trip. So I wanted to share some basic information that I find is helpful for most Americans. I like to give people straight talk with the pros and cons of different options and itineraries.
The biggest mistake we see over and over is this…
Most people underestimate the size of Spai, the mountainous terrain and how much time it takes to get around Spain? Consider that Spain is 1.7 times larger than Italy. And yet many Americans returned to Italy, three or four times.
