11 Jan The Magic of Spain Tour: September 2025
“A spectacular small group Spain trip with Rosa Lara! 11 days, 5 hotels, 7 cities, 2 trains, van shuttles, meals, museums, palaces and cathedrals, all masterfully coordinated. Local guides supported Rosa in the various cities to provide history and insight to the amazing sights. Rosa thought of everything to make our trip special!
I can’t fully describe the effort that Rosa extended to each member of our group. She is an expert travel coordinator and tour guide. Rosa genuinely cared for our group and ensured that every person in our group was accommodated from meal preferences to shopping for gifts and personal items. My wife & I will definitely book with Rosa again for future tours.”

“The tour was wonderful, with great hotels, restaurants and local guides. We experienced everything one should see from Madrid to Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Ronda. Rosa went out of her way to see to all our needs during our 10 days of exploring.
Being one of the oldest on the trip, I had concerns about keeping up, but Rosa was very attentive and helpful so I never felt unsafe or that I was holding the group back in any way.
We would highly recommend Just Explore to anyone planning a trip to Spain!

“From beginning to end, the Magic of Spain tour was truly exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed perfectly, making it an unforgettable experience. The itinerary struck a flawless balance between iconic landmarks and hidden gems, giving us an authentic feel for the culture, history, and spirit of Spain.
So that you know, the restaurant selections alone deserve special mention. Each meal was a highlight—delicious, varied, and reflective of the local region we were exploring. From traditional tapas to fine dining, it was clear that every venue had been carefully chosen to showcase the best Spain has to offer.
Our guides were experts in every sense of the word. They brought each destination to life with their knowledge, passion, and engaging storytelling. It was like traveling with friends who just happened to be scholars, historians, and cultural ambassadors all rolled into one.
The group itself was also a joy—warm, curious, and filled with wonderful personalities. It felt less like a tour group and more like a circle of friends discovering Spain together.
Above all, a special thank you to Rosa Lara. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and personal care ensured that no detail was overlooked. Rosa made each of us feel like we were being treated like royalty. Her dedication elevated the entire experience from a great trip to an unforgettable journey.
Without hesitation, I recommend the The Magic of Spain tour to anyone seeking a seamless, enriching, and truly magical travel experience.”

“Would highly recommend Just Explore. We recently completed a tour of southern Spain with Rosa Lara. The itinerary included all of the major sites and some off the beaten path surprises that only a local would know of. It was well planned and the pace was a perfect balance of sightseeing and free time. Rosa is friendly, professional, attentive and has a great sense of humor. All of the logistics are well planned and the local tour guides are knowledgeable, engaging and informative”.
