The pace was ok for us, and I felt we accomplished our goal of seeing the major sights and having time to discover places on our own in our free time. The guides were all good.
A special mention to David in Córdoba. But all were charming, warm, and knowledgeable. We especially liked the Hotel in Bilbao. Bilbao was well worth two nights. We are urban people, and it is a beautiful city.
But we also enjoyed the other cities very much.
Thanks so much for a memorable trip, Samuel!
