“We recently traveled to Spain and had an amazing trip thanks to Karen! She helped us come up with an itinerary that filled our desire to have a fun, cultural vacation with some touristy stuff mixed in. Karen gave us very helpful recommendations about everything from basic stuff like driving in Spain to off the beaten path beach towns. Thank you Karen for helping make our family trip to Southern Spain an amazing one!”
“Just had a call with Karen. We wanted some advice on an upcoming trip in Andalucia. Just wanted to say if you want to save yourself hours of researching, I’d highly recommend a call with her! She’s clearly doing something she loves. What a gift to us! So nice to talk to someone who knows so much. In 45 minutes, she saved us so much research and planning time. It was certainly time well spent and worth every penny.”

“Thank you, Karen Rosenblum, for your incredible guidance. We are only halfway through our Spain trip, but her recommendations have always paid off. This morning, we went to the Alhambra and purchased the first tickets of the day, as Karen recommended. It was like having the place to ourselves. Absolutely breathtaking and something we will remember forever.”
“Wow!! I recently returned from a 15 day trip to Spain with my two teenage daughters, and I wanted to share my amazing experience. I engaged Travel Spain’s own Karen Rosenblum to help, and I am so glad I did! Karen really took the time to listen to what I was looking for before she curated the most fantastically perfect trip for us! We explored Madrid, Sevilla, Granada, and Nerja, with day trips to Segovia, Ronda, and a hike in Monachil (Los Cahorros). Karen’s services were worth every penny because she has not only an incredibly vast knowledge about Spain, but also the attention to detail that makes for a truly unforgettable and unique experience. Thank you, Karen, for all of the priceless memories with my girls! We can’t wait to come back!”
“I want to thank you for a wonderful experience, you and I hit it off right away, and from start to finish, it was a pleasure working with you, so thank you. I think we did a lot in 2 weeks and I feel we got a wonderful understanding of the people and culture of Spain. I’m not sure that can be understood without the guides as they are always the best part of traveling. Honestly, you hit it out of the park for us. The recommendations, pace, and ease of travel were spot on. Most importantly, we flew home with a wonderful sense of why Spain is a special place. ”
“We just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks in Spain. Many many thanks to Karen Rosenblum and Spain Less Traveled for our consultation! I was so overwhelmed when I first started planning our trip. I was all over the place. Our Spain Travel Consultation helped narrow down our trip and get the most out of our two weeks. In addition to Madrid and Barcelona, we visited the Medieval town Cuenca - and stayed in the Parador there. What a great experience and we would have never known to go there without Karen’s suggestion. After our Zoom consultation, we received a summary of our conversation which included two proposed itineraries, and we booked our trip from there. In addition, we got some hotel and dining recommendations - which worked out great. Also, the report included direct links for booking tours. All I had to do was pull up the notes, click, and book - knowing that I was booking through a reliable source. If you are on the fence, do not hesitate to book the Spain Travel Consultation. It is money well spent.
Thank you Karen!”

“My husband and I just returned from a fabulous month traveling in Spain and Portugal. I must give a huge shout-out to Karen Rosenblum from Spain Less Traveled! I had never planned a trip this long before and it was a bit overwhelming. I had figured out my itinerary but was looking for help planning the specifics for each city. She provided me with wonderful guidance on tours, restaurants, and “not to-miss” activities. Her suggestions made our trip so much richer! Some of our very best experiences were the ones she suggested. Her restaurant recommendations were fabulous! We had a bit of a hiccup during our trip and I reached out to her and she responded immediately with helpful insights. Our trip included: Madrid, Valencia, Granada, Malaga, Seville, Lisbon, Porto, Douro Valley, then back to Madrid. Thanks to Karen I only had to figure out the Portugal part of my plan on my own! I highly recommend Karen and her services if you are looking to have a truly remarkable experience in Spain!”
“Thank you, Karen, for helping us put together a fabulous trip! My daughter is vegetarian and a bit of an anxious traveler and you helped us feel comfortable with our choices and offered some ideas we hadn’t considered. It was so nice to know we could choose a spot to eat on Karen’s list and it would be great. The tours and activities you suggested were all wonderful! We felt more like locals than tourists. I’m sure our bad Spanish gave us away. Highly recommend using Karen to help plan your trip to Spain!! Also go to Malaga! I think it gets overlooked but it is so beautiful and inviting!”
“Málaga, so beautiful & inviting”. Laura.
“Spain Less Traveled helped me put the finishing touches on the trip of a lifetime. As this was an international journey, I had several concerns about the logistics, but Karen guided me through every step with care and expertise. Her support made our travel experience smooth and stress-free - we arrived in Spain without a hitch. Beyond travel logistics, Karen also suggested a variety of exciting experiences tailored to our itinerary, adding depth and excitement to our adventure. I’m so grateful for her thoughtful guidance and highly recommend her services.”
“Just returned from a six week trip to Spain with my husband and our dog. Thank you to Karen Rosenblum for her help with planning. She is the perfect travel advisor for the Internet age. Most importantly, her guide recommendations were excellent. And that is the hardest thing to find on your own. Her guidance gave us the confidence to explore more deeply on her own and the pricing is so much better than using a conventional travel specialist to book your trip. I would highly recommend her for any help you need planning a trip to Spain.”
Karen, founder of Spain Less Traveled.
“In June, my wife and I, along with another couple, had a river cruise in Portugal and wanted to tack on a couple of weeks in Spain. We are from the U.S. and were so close. I had always wanted to visit Spain but didn’t know where to go or what to do. The four of us joined TravelSpain! to pick up some ideas and we did many. So many it was actually confusing as we set out to plan. As we were planning, I remembered several members of this group mentioning that Karen Rosenblum, with Spain Less Traveled, had helped them plan their trip. I reached out to Karen and from our first call I felt my life getting easier. We had several emails and zoom meetings so she could get to know us and what our interests were. From there she tailored a trip that would not have been possible without her expertise and knowledge. We split time between Barcelona, San Sebastian and Madrid. Everything was perfect, hotels, activities, day-trips and free time. We couldn’t have asked for more. I feel like I’m writing an advertisement, but I’m not. I just realize that there are others like us, that may not have the time or ability to plan this kind of trip. We loved Spain and look forward to exploring more of this great country. Salud!”
“We have just finished an epic 18 days in Spain and I wanted to give a shout-out to Karen Rosenblum of Spain Less Travelled for her help in making our trip all the more special. We are experienced European travelers and do-it-yourselfers re: researching, planning and booking our own itinerary. I hired Karen to review our itinerary and give me suggestions on how to improve and fine-tune it. Karen asked about our interests and priorities and provided detailed feedback that we used throughout our trip. Karen’s feedback gave me peace of mind regarding most of our planned itinerary, and she suggested changes to our itinerary (hotel locations, number of days in cities, reservations for sights & experiences etc.) that greatly improved our trip. Her assistance was a tremendous value. We loved Spain and will not hesitate to get in touch with Karen to help with travel planning the next time we visit.”
“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.”
“We loved our time in Spain and couldn’t have done it without your expert advice. Thanks for all your help from advice from hotels, transfers, local guides,local areas to visit and how to execute all of this painlessly. Your suggestions for local guides that led us from food tastings, to bike excursions were the highlight and each guide felt like a friend. Honestly, your advice helped us navigate our way through Barcelona and Menorca with little effort thanks to your planning advice prior to our trip! We will not hesitate to use your service again for our next adventure to Spain!”
“We just returned from our trip to Spain and loved it! We visited Granada, Toledo, Segovia and Madrid! Shout out to Karen Rosenblum who provided amazing advice! She is so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. It was so convenient to set up a zoom call with her and talk things through , get ideas and recommendations!! Highly recommend utilizing her services to ensure you have an amazing Spain experience!”
Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha.
“Karen is amazing! She helped me fill in lots of little details for our travels to Madrid, San Sebastian, and Bilbao. Even recommended lots of things only locals would know about-like where to get the best coffee and the best running paths in each place we travelled. Would highly recommend booking a time with Karen for her to review your itinerary, make helpful suggestions, and just answer all those random questions that start to pile up as you plan your trip to Spain!”
“A huge thank you to Karen Rosenblum of Travel Spain! and 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 departure) 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 (75 countries and counting, was born in Europe, have lived and worked in three continents, 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.”
“Thank you Karen Rosenblum for the help on planning my trip to Spain and Portugal to visit my daughter! My sister and her husband went with me. It helped so much to have that planning session before we went! We had a blast - took the Renfe from Barcelona to Seville. So nice! Everything was seamless! Can’t wait to go back in April — I may have another session soon !”
“Just had another great consultation with Karen Rosenblum, this time for our upcoming trip to Barcelona. In one phone call, Karen gave us more good advice tailored to our travel style and interests on hotels, guides, restaurants, sites, and off the beaten path places than I got from hours scouring the internet. I highly recommend consulting with Karen before planning any trip to Spain, even if you are a dedicated independent traveler and travel researcher like I am. She is just a tremendous resource. I only wish there were her equivalent in every country!”
Casa Batllo, Barcelona.
“A heartfelt thanks to Karen Rosenblum of Spain Less Traveled for her wise and invaluable advice in helping us plan our recent trip to Spain! My wife and I just got back from a two-week trip that included Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. Having never been to Spain before, we initially pored over the guidebooks and internet, which were useful but overwhelming. However, in only two meetings, Karen helped us make sense of this voluminous, often contradictory, and sometimes incorrect body of information, providing us instead with exceptional counsel targeted to our specific interests and needs. The detailed notes she provided after each meeting on her recommendations, referrals, and links was something we referred to over and over again during our planning and even while on the trip. And the referrals and recommendations were all outstanding. Karen saved us time and money. However, even more importantly, our consultation with Karen was essential in making this a trip of a lifetime! She has our highest recommendation!”

“We recently visited Andalucia, Spain. When we began planning it, we quickly became overwhelmed and realized we didn’t have a clue as to how to organize our time there. So, we reached out to Spain Less Traveled and we couldn’t be happier. Karen took the time to interview us to get to know what our interests were and what type of accommodations we would be happy with. She put together an itinerary that was just what we were looking for. She planned our driving route (which had very specific links to use with Google Maps), booked our hotels, reserved our tours and a few meals. She also gave specific instructions on parking (which could easily be extremely stressful), and many recommendations on what to do in our free time. The walking tour guides she suggested were all wonderful and informative and gave us a true sense of the areas we visited. We truly felt we experienced a custom-made vacation and we highly recommend her to anyone planning to visit Spain.”
“We just returned from our first trip to Spain and Karen Rosenblum of Spain Less Traveled was a remarkable help. We flew into Madrid from the States to see our son who was finishing up his college semester there and even with 5 days in the city we didn’t see 1/100th of what it had to offer! We also took Karen’s advice and booked Renfe AVE train south to Granada for a weekend and that was a highlight! Karen hooked us up with a fantastic private guide for the Alhambra and ALSO recommended a hike to Los Cahorros with a private guide for my husband and son. We saw and learned much in Spain. The consultation with follow-up notes with Karen and Spain Less Traveled was worth every penny. She saved us from a bunch of mistakes we might have made and guided us to some expert resources which we would not have found otherwise. It was like having a friend give you their inside tips and favorite things to do based on what you like to do. Thank you to Karen at Spain Less Traveled for a memorable trip!”
“We just returned from our 12 day vacation in Spain. I just wanted to say a big thank you to Karen Rosenblum for her help with our trip. We had our trip pretty much planned on our own as far as air, hotels, vrbo’s, rental car & trains etc. We had a group of 10 which could be a bit overwhelming with the planning at times. Karen helped us with the fine tuning with suggestions on restaurants, tours, tips and information with each of the places we were going. We started in Madrid and took a train to Seville then rented a car to drive to Ronda then on to explore Costa del Sol then a train back up to Madrid. Karen answered all our questions and followed up with an email with all her answers and recommendations. We had two weeks to follow up with any other questions but her zoom meeting and notes were so thorough we didn’t need to follow up at all. We especially loved her recommendation for our tour guide in Seville, he was great. Thank you Karen, we hope to visit another region of Spain in the future and will definitely reach out to you again.”
“I like to give a shout out to Karen and Carlos for helping us with ideas to plan our Christmas vacation in Madrid. They gave us many ideas from things to do, eat, and explore to make it a memorable Spanish Christmas especially for our eight year old. Everything is booked and we are ready to go!!”
“I had my 2nd mini session with Karen Rosenblum yesterday. She gives so much value. Lots of great advice and tips. I highly recommend her! I do most of the planning myself but rely on Karen Rosenblum for specific questions I have. My tip is to have a list of your questions prepared in advance so that you can take full advantage of your time with her. Call her! You will not be disappointed.”
“My husband and I were planning a month long vacay, primarily in Spain. I had most of the trip planned but was missing a few pieces of the puzzle! That’s when it was recommended to me that I get in touch with Karen Rosenblum from Spain Less Traveled! Thank you Karen for helping to complete our trip, hotel recommendations, sites to visit, places to eat, travel tips and more throughout Spain!!”
“Shout-out to Karen Rosenblum for her guidance over the winter as we planned our 2 week trip in June! Even though I studied abroad in Spain many years ago and have chaperoned student groups, she gave us great feedback on our itinerary, ideas for tours that fit our needs and answered so many transportation questions. ”
“Our Trip of a Lifetime is set! Many thanks to Karen Rosenblum with Spain Less Traveled for getting me over the planning hump and addressing my last nagging concerns/unknowns. I reached out to Karen for answering those questions I couldn’t find an answer to and just general insight regarding our itinerary. I very much enjoyed our FaceTime appointment. She was very attentive to my specific concerns, gave me some things to think about that I hadn’t, while providing me with very helpful information. Her knowledge of Spain is quite impressive. Even when she admittedly wasn’t up to speed on an area we want to do a tour in, she did some research herself and came back to me with her recommendations, and I immediately booked the tour. Madrid, Cordoba, Granada, Marbella, Ronda, Seville ... here we come. I am confident our itinerary is backed with great insight provided by Karen.”
“Yesterday, I had a 45-minute zoom meeting with Karen Rosenblum of Spain Less Traveled, and having that call was the best decision I’ve made so far for planning our trip to Spain. I highly recommend this service. My husband and I will be staying in Madrid for 11 days. I got some very specific ideas on day trips from Madrid and what not to miss in Madrid. This service of the Zoom meeting is very thorough and informative. The zoom call was extremely helpful and detailed. Thanks again, Karen Rosenblum!”
“We are so thankful that we found Spain Less Traveled as we were planning our first trip to this beautiful country. We engaged Karen in a consult to help review and refine our itinerary and we are so glad we did! Karen listened to the goals for our trip, paying close attention to our likes and dislikes, and provided spot on advice and amazing recommendations. The Spain Travel Consultation notes that she sent as follow-up allowed me to easily and confidently book tours, meal reservations, and finalize our itinerary. Every recommendation she provided was perfect and our family enjoyed an amazing and stress free vacation. Thank you, Karen! ”
“We hired Karen for our extended family of 12- traveling from Minnesota and California, age range of 14 to 65! We told her what was most important for us, and she put together an amazing trip! We could NEVER have done without her!”
“Karen was an incredible travel planner for our honeymoon to Spain. We told her a bit about our travel style and some of our “must-sees” in each city, and she told us all the tricks – which sites to see early or late, suggestions for best routes that involved interesting neighborhoods, incredible food options, and all the off-the beaten path treats that the guidebooks don’t tell you about, especially best neighborhoods to stay in for the type of atmosphere we prefer.”
“What a difference Karen makes! My husband and I just returned from a fantastic two-week trip to Seville, Madrid, and Barcelona Spain. Karen and Spain Less Traveled came highly recommended by friends we trust, one of whom is a Spaniard. I reached out to Karen to help me plan itineraries for each city. Every single recommendation of hers we used was just outstanding! Karen also provided great suggestions for restaurants and other day trips, as well as invaluable practical tips on navigating Covid requirements, transportation, tipping, etc. Karen is so knowledgeable, insightful and fun — and working with her ensures you’ll have an itinerary tailored to your specific needs. I plan to use Karen again for a trip to Northern Spain!”
“Shout out to Karen Rosenblum. My husband and I are planning a trip to Spain and were feeling overwhelmed with all the choices and decisions that we needed to make. We booked a mini session with Karen. She was so helpful with all our questions and concerns. We’ve now booked our flight to Madrid for October and part of our accommodations. So excited! Thank you Karen and TravelSpain! community.”
“I want to take a moment to thank and recommend the services provided by Karen Rosenblum. We took advantage of the itinerary planning service Spain Less Traveled offers and it was the best investment we made when planning our trip to Spain this month. Karen and Carlos provided our family of four with amazing recommendations for our visit to Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, and Barcelona. While I booked all of our travel arrangements (air/train/overnight accommodations), our two week adventure was planned thoughtfully, and was packed with beauty, history, amazing food, and experiences. Their recommendations for guides in each of the cities were so appreciated and we truly enjoyed each and every one of our tours. They provided guidance for each day of traveI; and I booked all of the experiences, and tourist site tickets in advance (very important!) We could not have done this trip without their help, guidance, and suggestions. Their itinerary planning was instrumental in making this one of our best vacations to date. Do get in touch with them if you need advice and support when planning your trip to Spain. The investment is worth every penny!”
“Thank you Karen Rosenblum for your suggestions with our trip to Spain. Your guidance during our consultation and the detailed follow-up notes you sent, helped us focus on what was most important to us. Your restaurant recommendations were spot on and your suggestions for unique experiences were fabulous. This was our first trip to Spain but it won’t be our last! Gracias Karen! Adios España, until next time!”
“We had a fabulous trip to Spain in October! A phone consultation with Karen Rosenblum is worth every penny! In the planning process I had many questions. It only required one consultation (along with the follow up e-mail which was super helpful) to get my trip in order. Being able to TALK on zoom about this, you can get to the heart of what is important to travelers and devise a plan to see and enjoy as much of Spain as possible. Karen’s recommendations for us were spot on!! I highly recommend her services!!”
“I like to plan most of my trips but having never been to Spain, I had some questions. We scheduled a 45 minute zoom call with Karen and I can’t express how helpful it was! She had great suggestions on timing, logistics and things to do that fit with our specific interests. She provided a very detailed follow up email with specifics on how to order tickets, how to get around, etc - in addition to hotel/restaurant recommendations. We were able to pick and choose, didn’t use all of her suggestions, but felt way more confident planning our magnificent trip. The investment was so minimal and SO worth it. I highly recommend Karen!”
“My daughter and I just got back from two weeks in Spain, spanning Madrid, Córdoba, Granada, and Málaga. We saw castles, cathedrals, and bridges; learned some history; rode trains, buses, and metro; enjoyed delicious olives, tapas, fruit, jamón iberico, coffee, and so much more. We did it on our own terms and at our own pace—we thoroughly enjoyed Spain ‘our way.’
I’m grateful for reaching out to Karen Rosenblum (Spain Less Traveled consultant). Consulting with her helped me to tweak the flow of our itinerary, feel confident with the neighborhoods we chose to stay in, and so much more.”
“We are so happy we hired Karen Rosenblum and her travel itinerary service to help craft an eight-night visit to Andalusia! She took time up front to learn how we liked to travel and spend time abroad. We had already done some research before hiring Karen and felt we had a sense of what we wanted, but Karen’s targeted suggestions introduced us to possibilities we hadn’t considered. She added a stay in Cordoba to our existing itinerary of Granada and Sevilla based on what she learned of what we wanted from the trip, and that proved to be one of our favorite stops. She also helped us experience the “white cities” of Antequera and Ronda and receive a personalized tour of the Alhambra. Karen also learned our interests in lodging and dining and suggested great places to stay and eat. In short, we had a great vacation that was tailored to our exact wants and needs.”
“We have just concluded our second planning call with Karen regarding our forthcoming one-month trip to Spain, and her expertise has proven invaluable. She provided us with a recommended itinerary and numerous suggestions for accommodations and activities. Subsequently, we scheduled everything and followed up with her to ensure we were on track, and she addressed all our outstanding questions and offered final guidance. Karen’s knowledge has been instrumental in planning our trip. I previously utilized Karen’s services for a shorter trip two years ago and received equally exceptional information and assistance.”
“Just had another great consultation with Karen Rosenblum, this time for our upcoming trip to Barcelona. In one phone call, Karen gave us more good advice tailored to our travel style and interests on hotels, guides, restaurants, sites, and off the beaten path places than I got from hours scouring the internet. I highly recommend consulting with Karen before planning any trip to Spain, even if you are a dedicated independent traveler and travel researcher like I am. She is just a tremendous resource. I only wish there were her equivalent in every country!”
“Thank you, Karen, for helping us put together a fabulous trip! My daughter is vegetarian and a bit of an anxious traveler and you helped us feel comfortable with our choices and offered some ideas we hadn’t considered. It was so nice to know we could choose a spot to eat on Karen’s list and it would be great. The tours and activities you suggested were all wonderful! We felt more like locals than tourists. Highly recommend using Karen to help plan your trip to Spain!”
“I embarked on what will be my 13th (and 6th one lasting more than six weeks) trip to Spain... And even with all that “Spain-xperience”, I reached out to Karen for some advice as I want to explore a few areas I have never been to. She set up a consultation where she gave me tons of amazing advice. And even though I took copious notes, she followed up with everything in writing and in great detail! Even for an experienced self-planner as myself, I can’t stress how useful this consultation was! I highly recommend Karen’s consultations. You will certainly come out of it more knowledgeable about any upcoming trip you have to Spain and your trip will be better because of that knowledge!”
“If you are planning a visit to Spain next May, we highly recommend checking into the Cordoba la Fiesta de los Patios Experience with Carlos and Karen as guides. The patios were gorgeous and the other experiences provided (olive oil tasting,tour of Medina Azahara, and dinner) were incredible. We also had free time to explore on our own (Mezquita,flamingo dancers, restaurants,etc.). An added bonus was getting to know some wonderful people and share in this experience with them. I have been traveling through Spain for the first time in the last 2 months with my daughter (a resident of Spain). Each area and city that I have visited are unique and filled with history, beautiful architecture, and offerings, including Cordoba. I am so glad we added the three days in Cordoba to our itinerary.
”
“Just wanted to post a note thanking Karen for helping me plan a 6 week trip in April and May of this year. I had 2 consults with her and she helped me to focus on the places and things that interested us most and to simplify the trip to minimize travel time between locations. It was really nice to have a knowledgeable expert helping us to have the best experience possible (which we did!).”
“I’d like to thank Karen Rosenblum for all the hand holding and great advice she provided. She gave us four proposed itineraries. I ended up combining a couple of them and had a great trip, but I probably should have just gone with what she proposed. She knows what she is doing! Although I still did a lot of planning on my own, having her outline and suggestions gave me a great starting place and comfort that I wasn’t missing anything big and ensured we didn’t miss out by not making reservations. All of her recommendations for tours, etc. were great. ”
“I’d like to share about a wonderful experience I had with Karen Rosenblum during a mini consultation. We have planned the itinerary ourselves, but needed some details tweaked and needed recommendations on tours in particular cities. Karen has been very helpful in giving us some great resources/guides and also shared her thoughts with us that helped us in making some decisions. Whether you need a full consult or a mini one, I highly recommend Karen. You will not regret it.”
“A great big GRACIAS! to Karen Rosenblum for helping us plan our recent 3 week Spain trip. We decided to take this trip only two weeks before travel, and I couldn’t have done it without her. She scheduled a zoom call right away and expedited itineraries and suggestions for tours and excursions before our departure.
We booked hotels from all of her suggested lists for each city and scheduled tours from those she suggested as well. We were thrilled with all of them. She also provided really helpful information about the ins and outs of getting around Spain in general. That was priceless!
Would highly recommend a consultation with Karen for your Spain trip. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you again Karen!”
“Just returned from our trip to Spain (a day in France, and time in Portugal too). My husband and I spoke with Karen Rosenblum prior to our trip. Karen gave us suggestions, recommendations, and travel tips and she was spot on! Thanks Karen! We had an apartment in Barcelona for two weeks, a day trip to Vic, Santa Pau, and Besalu. Another day trip to Figures and Cadaques. We then took the train to Zaragoza where we picked up a car. We visited Pamplona, Hondarribia, day trip to Bayonne, France. Stopped by San Sebastian on our way to Bilbao. Had a night in Santillana del Mar, and another in Santiago de Compostela then dropped down into Portugal. We’ve been many places all over Spain and it was fun to travel in Basque country! It’s beautiful, food is wonderful, and people are kind and friendly. A trip we’ll never forget!”
“We just returned from 7 weeks in Spain. We had 2 consultations with Karen before our trip. Her advice and guidance helped us have a near perfect trip. Very good private guides, a great flamenco show, ideas on sites off the beaten path, etc. we highly recommend hiring Karen to help you with planning your trip.”
“I want to share my gratitude to Karen Rosenblum for her terrific help as I was planning our family’s first trip to Spain. I scheduled a consultation with her and she was so gracious and helpful both during our Zoom call and also in the follow-up notes she provided. I was so excited when I got off the call! She gave me the additional information I needed to confirm my itinerary and she also provided many tips and insights that I will use in further planning and on our trip In October.”
“My family traveled to Spain over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. I felt overwhelmed trying to fit in everything we wanted to see, so I decided to use the services of Karen and Carlos from Spain Less Traveled to help plan our trip. For each city, we received a detailed itinerary that included must-see attractions, restaurant suggestions, transportation options, and recommendations for private guides. Thanks to their meticulous planning, we explored more of the Andalusia region and Madrid than I had ever imagined possible. We had the BEST private guides; they truly enhanced our experiences. We plan to vacation again in Spain and will use the services of Spain Less Traveled for our future trips. Thank you, Karen and Carlos!”
“Another trip, another fantastic consulting call with Karen from Spain Less Traveled yesterday! I’m headed to Andalucia for a work conference in October and adding on days to spend with my husband and toddler exploring, so I loved using Karen’s services for her consulting Zoom calls. I struggle with decision paralysis and information overload, so it’s such a wonderful way for me to instantly get a list of top recommendations and a shortcut to organizing my itinerary. I did this in 2022 when I visited other areas of Spain and my trip was so wonderful, so I knew immediately I was going to reach back out. Thanks Karen!”
“I knew I wanted to plan an extended trip to Spain for our family of four, but I really didn’t know where to start - and I was daunted by the thought of combing through troves of information to plan our itinerary. Karen turned out to be the perfect place to start. I filled out a questionnaire with some of the things we were hoping for, and then Karen and I got on the phone for a one-hour conversation that gave me all the ingredients I needed: an overall itinerary that took our needs and interests into account, some very practical advice for things that would make it all work, and a list of resources that I found myself turning to time and time again - both as I planned our trip and while we were on the road. Karen helped me make decisions quickly - which ultimately freed me and my family to get back to focusing on the FUN parts of travel.”
“We just returned from our trip to Spain and loved it ! We visited Granada, Toledo, Segovia, and Madrid ! Shout out to Karen who provided amazing advice! She is so knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It was so convenient to talk things through, and get ideas and recommendations! Highly recommend utilizing her services to ensure you have an amazing Spain experience!”
