★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The flow and intensity of this itinerary was perfect and in line with what we wanted. We loved all our guides and truly enjoyed spending time with them. All the hotels were great, but Son Bunyola was the best accommodation we've ever stayed at, with incredible views and delicious meals. We appreciate how local and authentic some of the restaurants were. The iconic Sagrada Familia was magnificent and another highlight, and we loved the visit to the historic boutique winery in Girona.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We had a fabulous trip to Spain, and everything Blue Parallel planned went smoothly. Our guides were excellent, the hotels were great, and the food was delicious, especially the lunch at the Catalan farmhouse which was a lot of fun. Highlights of our Spain tour included visiting the Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia, the private access tour of the Prado Museum without the general public, and visiting the Thyssen Museum and Royal Palace. The churches in Toledo were wonderful and gave us a unique perspective of Spain's history. We wanted to watch the Miami Dolphins game at the Real Madrid Stadium, and Blue Parallel were able to coordinate it all with perfect timing.
