Although this is a new trip just added to our schedule, our unique and immensely cultural itinerary will allow you to experience first-hand both Spanish and Moroccan lifestyles. From fine cuisine to awesome shopping and breathtaking sites, this trip has been designed to present you with a journey that offers a deeply cultural perspective, so you're left wanting to know more about the places you've explored and the people you met along the way.
Warning - This is a new trip for us!
While we have been operating in Europe for over three years now and have had a team of researchers travelling the continent to put together this trip, it must still be remembered that this is the first year we are operating this trip. To be frank, we expect some things to go wrong! We give this warning when we head to new destinations - and usually we find there are more pleasant surprises in store than unpleasant ones. But the warning is sincere, and if it concerns you then we recommend that you wait for a year until we get any bugs ironed out. Any improvements to our itinerary are noted immediately on our website, so before booking and travelling please go to www.intrepidtravel.com and enter this trip code in the tripfinder to check for any updates.
