If your looking for a deep insight into the culture and history, than this is the tour to do with the added optional experiences. As individuals traveling on your own in Spain it would be difficult to have the depth of experiences without a tour. Trafalgar guides and driver were professional and expertise excellent. A good mix of free time, hotel locations often close to good shopping. Large country to cover so be prepared for sitting on the coach for a few hours most days.
