Breakfasts will be served at your hotel. Dinners are enjoyed in local Spanish restaurants a short walk away.

Please note that the Spanish diet is mostly meat and fish based. Vegetarian choices can be limited.

Sample Breakfast Menu:

• Bread, pastries, tortilla, ham, cheese, pan con tomate, coffee, tea, orange juice.

Sample Dinner Menu:

We do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions. Some meals can be modified for special requests and food allergies.

Fitting the floating markets into the itinerary is rather difficult. The two main floating markets, Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa are about 60 miles from Bangkok. The drive is up to 2 hours, that’s if there is minimal traffic (not common). The best time to visit is in the early morning, so if you want to visit you would have to forego the included activities on Day 2.

We recommend that you arrive into Bangkok a day or 2 days before the trip’s start date if you would like to include this activity into your Thailand experience. You would also need to organize your own transportation and tour.

Moderate - This trip is a good mix of activity and relaxation and includes moderate physical activities.

Participants should expect to be active 3-4 hours most days. An active lifestyle is helpful though not required to enjoy the trip.

Of course! This trip is your trip, and you don’t have to participate in anything you don’t want to. We also can help you set up other optional activities if you'd rather do that.

‍Just be aware that opting out of included activities will not change the price of your trip.

On Day 1, after airport pick up you will spend part of the morning, the whole afternoon, and evening in Barcelona. This will be your chance to explore this beautiful city and to visit some important landmarks.

On Day 7, you’ll arrive in Madrid around 11:00am. This will  give you the whole day to visit the Spanish capital.

If you’d like to fully immerse yourself in these two beautiful cities, we recommend you arrive a few days before the trip or to extend your trip.

Andalusia is in Southern Spain and is one of the autonomous communities of Spain.

Andalusia is the second largest autonomous community of the country and it is also the most populated. The capital is Seville and yes you’ll have the chance to explore that beautiful city!

You’ll be in private and comfortable vehicles for drives from Granada to Seville and for our day trip to Cadiz.

In Madrid and Barcelona, expect to use public transportation (bus, subway, and cabs). We think that this is the best way for you to experience Spain like a local!

On Day 2, you will be flying from Barcelona to Granada. Your flight is included in your trip and includes (1) checked bag on Vueling. The weight allowance is 23kg (50lbs). Each traveler is responsible for any fees associated with bags being overweight when checking in at the airport.

On Day 7, you will be taking the high speed train to connect Seville to Madrid.

The luggage allowance is one check bag of 44lbs (20kg) and one carry-on weighing 15lbs (7kg)

April, May, September, and October are the best months to visit Spain, especially Andalusia. Temperatures at this time of the year are getting warm and the months of September and October are also still warm and less crowded.

July & August are very hot with lots of crowds and that’s why we don’t operate trips in Southern Spain during this time of the year.

Check out the full Spain packing guide.

The lighter the better! If you only have a rolling suitcase that will work, but if you can get your hands on a more mobile bag, like a large backpack, that would be better. We take all forms of transportation and some guesthouses and hotels don’t have elevators.  You'll also want a daypack for your personal gear, food, and drinks for the day.

Laundry will be available in some hotels for an additional fee (ask your trip leader for details).

Sagrada Familia: We recommend purchasing the "Sagrada Familia basic ticket" if you’d like to explore this beautiful monument at your own pace. For a few euros more you can get the audio guide if you’d like to learn more about the Basilica and its history.

There is also a ticket that gives you access to one of the towers of the Basilica where you can have a nice view of Barcelona. Make sure to book your ticket several weeks in advance as tickets get sold out quickly! We recommend you to arrive a few days early in Barcelona to take advantage of everything the city has to offer!

‍Alhambra Palace: We recommend booking the "General Day Tour" on Day 3 for 8:30 am or 9:00 am. The earliest the better to avoid the crowds. Again, make sure to book your ticket several weeks in advance as tickets get sold out very quickly! If you’re unable to book your ticket, please get in touch with us and we’ll do our best to help out!

Credit cards are widely accepted by stores, hotels and restaurants in Spain. However, smaller cafes and shops may not accept credit cards so make sure you carry enough cash to cover small purchases. Please let your bank know you’re traveling overseas.

It is safe to drink water from taps in Spain, unless otherwise marked. However the water from taps may have a funny taste and restaurants will always service bottled water. For environmental reasons, we recommend you use a refillable water bottle instead of buying bottled water.
