SPAIN

Seville - A Tapestry of Old World Charm and Flamenco

After arriving in Seville, we made our way to the buzzing historic center, brimming with aweinspiring architectural wonders such as the UNESCO-listed Seville Cathedral and the majestic Alcazar Palace. We were welcomed with traditional Andalusian cuisine at Casa Robles, a must visit restaurant in the heart of Seville. Delish!

 

While there, be sure to include a visit to the iconic Plaza de España, a magnificent square adorned with colorful tiles, bridges, and a bustling canal. We explored the charming neighborhood of Santa Cruz with its winding streets, hidden squares, and quaint tapas bars.

 

No visit to Seville is complete without experiencing the passion of flamenco. Tablao Flamenco El Arenal hosted us for a traditional flamenco show, where we witnessed the soul-stirring music and dance performances that have become synonymous with Andalusian culture.

 

Malaga - A Coastal Haven of Art and Relaxation

Traveling south to Malaga (a vibrant port city on the Costa del Sol), we visited the iconic Alcazaba, an ancient Moorish fortress offering panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. The Picasso Museum showcases the artistic legacy of Malaga's most famous son, Pablo Picasso and was a lovely stop with a private tour.

 

Malagueta Beach is a vibrant stretch of golden sand offering crystal-clear waters and a lively promenade filled with beach bars and restaurants. A highlight was lunch at Casa Manuel de La Longa, run by the Manuel Family who has been cooking sardines oven an open fire on the beach since 1944.

Mallorca - A Mediterranean Paradise

On to Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, where we were enchanted by its stunning coastline, charming villages, and picturesque landscapes. Here I met with 75 travel suppliers from throughout Spain, including hoteliers, wineries, tour guides and tourist boards. This allows us to design a trip custom tailored to your individual interests for you and your travel tribe.

 

This island is home to the rugged beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains to the hidden coves and turquoise waters of Cala Mondrago.

 

Palma de Mallorca, the island's capital, boasts a fascinating mix of Gothic and Moorish architecture and is adorable! I wandered through the winding streets of the Old Town, relishing gelato, visiting the stunning Palma Cathedral, and relaxing in the lively Plaza Mayor.
