Feliciano spoiled us! The meeting point was easily located. The towns we visited were unique among themselves. Feliciano is one of the best guides I have had the pleasure to travel with. His knowledge base about Spainish history is profound. Architecture, art, music , literature and an accurate timeline come easily to him. In addition he discusses current social and political issues and their impact on communities in and around Spain. He is entertaining, has a great sense of humor and certainly is concerned about the welfare of his clients. The locations were lovely and full of history. Your camera will not get a rest! Lunch was delicious with large variety of choices, great service and incredible flavor! The drive was beautiful with the snow covered peaks of the Pyrenees in May.
I would definitely recommend this trip to see the Northern most part of the country and enjoy a different pace from the city.
