The trip begins and is organized with the local expertise of Carameltrail, specialists in personalized travel who not only take their clients to the most iconic spots, but also design experiences that allow them to truly understand the essence of each destination.
WHAT IT MEANS TO TRAVEL TO DESTINATION IBERIA + MOROCCO
Choosing a trip through Iberia and Morocco means opting for a route that combines great European destinations with the exoticism, cultural diversity, and contrasting landscapes of North Africa. In the context of Carameltrail, Iberia is understood as a shared cultural region that encompasses Spain and Portugal, two countries with their own identities but with an intertwined history, which find a natural complement in the Moroccan experience.

It is not just an itinerary; it is a narrative of history, art, gastronomy, and local life told through carefully selected experiences.
