Loved it so much I added on extra nights while I was there, couldn’t ask for better staff who did everything and then some to make it perfect.
San Sebastian: Surf & Party Hostel, 10 DaysWhat made this tour incredible was our guide Craig. His history knowledge is remarkable and city tours spot on. But best part was 2 days at his and Sasha’s home. And the hikes were amazing.
Highlights of AndaluciaThe route was frankly ridiculous, way to long ,the way I made it was by not doing gravel, but state roads,not what I wanted but the only way to get from hotel to hotel. Also I did climb the 1500meter mountain between France and Spain, it was a challenge and you mentioning age group to 90 years old is deceiving. But I had a challenging great time,just what I signed up for
