Our tour guide Juan was a true pleasure! He has so much knowledge of Northern Spain and an excellent driver!!!! Those mountains are no joke! Juan was punctual and made our entire day full of stops and memories to last a lifetime. Being with the locals and eating outside the “typical” tourist locations was a really treat. If I could I would have requested him for more touring days in Northern Spain. En verdad fue un tour excepcional que nos vamos a recordar por muchas años. Gracias por tu guía Juan y toda la atención que nos distes. Hasta fotos bellas!
