This was our sixth Intrepid trip. We were disappointed in the folowing aspects:- First meeting introduction. Tour leader lacked enthusiasm and knowledge of the areas we travelled Most travel not by public transport which we like to do so we get a real taste of the area. Only one night at each town - we prefer 2 nights. Should have had more time in Bilbao as so much to see there. Tapas introduction on the first night was basic. The food served at Picos de Europa was terrible. The bush walk at Picos de Europa was not good. Im sure there are better places to walk. The local food presenters in Barcelona and San Sebastion were great. However it not measure up to what we expected from our previous Intrepid trips so were left disappointed.Show more
