We recently returned from Spain
We recently returned from an unforgettable journey through Spain—exploring Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville—expertly arranged by Hannah Whitesides at Audley Travel. Her thoughtful planning, local insight, and attention to detail made our experience seamless, immersive, and truly unforgettable. Culinary Delights One of the standout moments of our trip was a hands-on paella cooking class in Barcelona. With guidance of our wonderful chef, Ana from Fresh Cooking Spain led us through the art of crafting traditional paella, along with tapas. Her warmth, humor, and passion for Spanish cuisine made it one of our favorite memories. Architectural Marvels In Barcelona, the Sagrada Família left us absolutely speechless. Gaudí’s visionary architecture, from its towering spires to its intricately detailed facades, was even more impressive in person. Our guided visit brought the history and symbolism of the basilica to life, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. Artistic Treasures Another highlight was our visit to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). The museum’s extraordinary collection of Romanesque church murals, Gothic altarpieces, and modern Catalan art gave us a deeper appreciation for the region’s rich artistic heritage. In addition to the artwork, the rooftop terrace offered spectacular panoramic views of Barcelona—an unforgettable vantage point that perfectly capped off our visit. Seamless Travel Experience Every step of our journey was effortless, thanks to Hannah’s expert coordination. From beautiful accommodations to knowledgeable local guides, she tailored the entire experience to our interests and preferences. Her personalized touch and support throughout made us feel both cared for and inspired to explore. We can’t thank Hannah enough—and a special thanks as well to Ana for sharing her culinary talents with us. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we wholeheartedly recommend Hannah Whitesides and Audley Travel to anyone planning a customized and enriching adventure through Spain.
