      <image:title>Spain Less Traveled Blog - Barcelona Travel Guide - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Streets of the Gothic Quarter The Gothic Quarter is Barcelona’s most famous neighborhood, at least with visitors to the city. Barri Gòtic, as it is called in Catalan, is often a top area for travelers to stroll in the city. And it is no secret as to why. This medieval neighborhood, with its narrow, winding streets and hidden plazas, will transport you back in time to the old days of Barcelona. You can wander around on your own or join a Gothic Quarter walking tour. There are several important sites in the Gothic Quarter. For example, the majestic Gothic style (of course) Cathedral of Barcelona is a must-see. This is THE cathedral of Barcelona, and Sagrada Familia is not that. In fact, it is one of the top cathedrals in Spain. If you are interested in Barcelona’s rich history, the Museu d’Història de Barcelona (MUHBA) should be another stop along your Gothic Quarter stroll. And if you are interested in Barcelona’s rich Jewish history, the city's old Jewish quarter, known as El Call is located in the Gothic Quarter near the Barcelona Cathedral and Plaça Sant Jaume. You can even take a Jewish themed tour to learn more about the deep-rooted history. We don’t necessarily recommend staying in the Gothic Quarter (keep reading for neighborhood recommendations), but you definitely want to add a walk around Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter to your Spain travel itinerary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spain Less Traveled Blog - Our top cathedrals to visit in Spain - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Enjoying the beach and a beautiful cathedral’s silhouette… Only in Cádiz. In the 18th Century, Cádiz was one of the richest cities in Spain, due to the trade with the colonies in the Americas. This made the original cathedral (Iglesia de la Santa Cruz) became small. Instead of building on top of it, the new cathedral was built close to it. The church was in construction for 116 years, causing the original design in the Baroque style by Vicente Acero, to evolve with Rococo and Neoclassical elements. The interior is spectacular, with its white architectural elements, although not in the best shape. You can climb one of the twin towers, with amazing views of the city. Read our Cadiz Travel Guide for more information.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Almodóvar del Río castle. Just a little outside of the city of Córdoba, the castle in the pueblo of Almodóvar del Río recently gained popularity as it was featured in Game of Thrones. But our team has always loved this castle due to its immense size. Visible from the train, visitors often wonder about that castle in the distance perched up on a hill on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The castle is of Muslim origin and was constructed during the 700s. During the middle ages, this castle underwent several renovations. Today you can visit it and even reserve tickets in advance for it. In fact, we often add a visit to this castle to our personalized Spain travel itineraries. It’s a favorite with our clients for sure! (And this is just another reason why we do not recommend visiting Córdoba as a day trip, which (in our opinion) is one of the most common Spain travel mistakes. At the very minimum we recommend at least one night in Córdoba for your Spain travel itinerary. You can also stop at this castle on your way from Córdoba to Seville if you have your own transportation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spain Less Traveled Blog - Common Spain travel mistakes- - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A tinto de verano and some free snacks that came with it. This is more authentically Spain than “sangria” and “free tapas.” Probably there are a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions about Spain from your home country. But one of the biggest mistakes that Spain travelers make is not traveling mindfully. Try to see past these cliches and dig deeper. Let’s start with two of Spain’s buzzwords: (free) tapas and sangria. The “free tapa” is really only a thing in certain cities. It’s very rare that you will get enough “free tapas” to make a meal out of it. Often all you get with a drink is a small dish of olives, potato chips, or Spanish-style cocktail mix. That’s if you get anything at all. There are plenty of bars that do not give any sort of snack with their drinks. Expecting to get a free meal with every drink ordered is unrealistic and will lead to “hanger” and disappointment. Keep in mind that a “tapa” can be just about anything from a few patatas bravas to a small plate of jamón and more! Tapas can be just about anything. They are simply small portions of food. There is also much more to Spanish cuisine than tapas. Then there is sangria, which these days is mostly marketed to tourists. Instead, order a tinto de verano. You will love it! And pay a fraction of the price for one in a local bar instead of a sangria in a tourist bar. Spain is not all free tapas, sangria, bulls, flamenco, and “olé!” - look past the stereotypes. Dig deep. And embrace the beautiful culture(s) of Spain!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Plan your trip to Spain! - “A huge thank you to Karen! If you're not using her services to plan your travels you're missing out! I contacted her for a consultation before a very last minute trip to Spain (pretty sure it was less than two weeks before depature) and she provided clarity, immediately zeroed in on my travel style and offered alternates where she saw I was struggling to make decisions, and provided some wonderful inside information about her recommended tour guides, hotels, and restaurants. I'm an avid traveler, and I have no hesitation at all in going to the experts and saying "please help me, this will take me hours to do on my own, can I utilize your services"! Karen was fantastic to chat to and I highly recommend her services. She's clearly passionate about Spain and is warm and welcoming. I'd love to do one of her extended packages next time as well in addition to the consultation. I wouldn't hesitate to contact her again..”</image:title>

      <image:title>COVID-19 - Keeping both you and Spain safe</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is no doubt that COVID-19 has deeply impacted everyone worldwide. With restrictions still in existence in Spain and much of Europe, the international travel industry has been brought to a near standstill. As of 7 June 2021, travelers from (just about) all over the world have been welcome to enter Spain. But there are regulations and many variables. Spain Less Traveled is committed to keeping travelers, and just as importantly, Spain and the people who live there, as safe as possible. Responsible and sustainable travel are some of our major core values. Travel has changed very much. Constantly changing restrictions, specific details about entry into Spain, and other travel requirements necessitate the use of travel advisors, travel agents, and destination specialists who are destination specialists advising you and advocating on your behalf. We are here to help with the ins and outs. Take a look at our professional Spain travel services to get started today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>COVID-19 - A few Spain travel tips if you are planning a trip</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are planning a trip to Spain in the future, you probably have a lot of questions as to what things might look like and how to best plan a Spain travel itinerary around it. These measures, protocols, and procedures can change at any time. Furthermore, there is no “one size fits all” answer to these regulations and protocols. They are based on several variables. Spain Less Traveled is a travel service and is not affiliated with the Spanish government and can not be held responsible for how your trip might be impacted by what you read on our website. Each situation is unique and this is meant to serve as an advisory. (We are committed to working personally with our clients to ensure they are in the know of the latest restrictions and are prepared to travel to and within Spain. See below for ways that we can work with you.) A few things travelers entering Spain will need to know: Spain has been open to travelers from most countries as of 7 June 2021. As of 21 October 2022, there are no longer Covid-related travel restrictions to enter Spain. As new variants are discovered, it is possible that Spain may impose restrictions or even close, with or without announcement, to citizens of various countries. Therefore, we recommend registering to get vaccinated against COVID-19 (and any required boosters, if needed) if you will be planning a trip to Spain within the next few years. Masks are no longer required in most spaces including public transportation. However, they are still required to be worn in pharmacies, hospitals, healthcare centers, and care homes. Therefore we still recommend carrying a mask at all times in case you encounter a situation where it is required to use it. Rules and regulations often vary across Spain, region by region, and can change based on COVID numbers. These can also vary region by region. It is the responsibility of the traveler to understand and strictly adhere to all of these. This is for everyone’s safety, especially for the local communities travelers are visiting. Starting on 12 June 2022, travelers returning to the United States will no longer need to present a negative Covid test to fly. This policy will be reexamined every three months, so it is important to check this requirement closer to your date of travel. If you are flying from Spain to another country, you will need to check their entry requirements including if a test is required. Travelers to Spain will need to be flexible and understand that places can close and adjust their hours without much notice. Everyone is working to get back on their feet but places might be understaffed, or might not offer a full range of services, or might have not re-opened yet.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mini Spain Travel Consultations - “A huge thank you to Karen of Spain Less Traveled! If you're not using her services to plan your travels you're missing out! I contacted her for a mini Zoom consultation before a very last minute trip to Spain (pretty sure it was less than two weeks before deparure) and in just 30 minutes on the mini-consult she provided clarity, immediately zeroed in on my travel style and offered alternates where she saw I was struggling to make decisions, and provided some wonderful inside information about her recommended tour guides, hotels, and restaurants. I'm an avid traveler, was born in Europe, speak multiple languages, etc) and I have no hesitation at all in going to the experts and saying "please help me, this will take me hours to do on my own, can I utilize your services" Karen was fantastic to chat to and I highly recommend her services. She's clearly passionate about Spain and is warm and welcoming. I'd love to do one of her extended packages next time as well in addition to the mini consultation. I wouldn't hesitate to contact her again.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Itinerary service - “My husband, daughter and I recently returned from an outstanding two week trip to Madrid, Granada and Barcelona. We are so fortunate to have worked with Karen who helped make this happen! Her specific knowledge of Spain beyond the mainstream, coupled with her professionalism and attention to detail provided us with an itinerary tailored to our interests and needs. We appreciate how she took the time to get to know us and answered every question and concern of ours. She gave us invaluable advice on traveling between cities, tipping, attractions, hotels and restaurants that were all on point and saved us hours of planning and researching on our own. Our trip exceeded our expectations as we were able to relax, explore and enjoy, knowing we were well prepared and informed.”</image:title>

And you will also receive a PDF of Spain travel tips, exclusively for clients of Spain Less Traveled. And from that time, you have two weeks of email access to our team after we send the notes to ask any follow-up questions or for any clarification about what we discussed during the call and what is in the notes / guide. Some travelers book just one Spain Travel Consultation, while most book a series of calls to help hammer out details. Investment: $200 USD per session (plus an additional $50 if you want the notes rushed to you within one week of your call)</image:caption>
