Spain Savvy

Love this photo of the Wilmes family in Granada? They added a session with .lopez.foto to their Spain itinerary!

We love to suggest that our clients book a photoshoot on vacation with a professional photographer. Along with that camera roll of selfies, do you and your family a favor and create an even more beautiful memory of your adventures.

If you've seen the international news, you know that flash floods are currently ravaging southeastern Spain and there has been lots of damage and loss of life, particularly in the beautiful Valencia area 😟

Here in Seville (southwest Spain), it's still dumping down and our communities are trying to keep people safe and off the roads 🚫

Thanks to all who have reached out to make sure Spain Savvy staff and our travelers are safe! 🫶

Flash floods kill at least 63 people in Spain The toll, focused in the eastern region of Valencia, makes this Spain’s worst natural disaster in almost 30 years.

Always a successful trip when is in charge! Thanks so much for this fab review, Ken!

“I don’t see how our visit to Portugal and Spain could have been any better. After an initial Q&A with Sarah, our Spain Savvy travel planner, she was able to plan an activity filled trip with multiple locations that was stress free and relaxing. Top it off with perfect company, weather, food, points of interest, tour guides, and just the people and the cities themselves, it all combined to form a perfect memory…Thanks Sarah!”

Nothing like an R&D weekend in one of our absolute favorite villages in Andalucía. If you’ve followed us for a while you know all about our obsession with Vejer de la Frontera! Check our blog (link in bio) for a few deep dives on the spot and one of its best hotels.

We explored new properties and visited with Carlos who is an amazing guide in the area. We ate like kings and queens and had a fabulous time together as a family. It really confirmed this town is perfect year round!

Great five-star review from the Zamora family. This is EXACTLY why our clients are always SO glad they hired a Spain Savvy travel designer!

(Big thanks to for this gorgeous family photoshoot)

“I can’t recommend Spain Savvy enough! I am usually the travel planner for our family, but I didn’t have bandwidth to handle the multi-week coordination for our family Spain trip, so we enlisted the help of Spain Savvy, and Sarah came to our rescue!

From the initial consult, to the first trip proposal, to revisions, to leading up to the trip, and during the trip, Sarah was detailed, responsive, caring, and supportive to ensure the trip was smooth and matched our goals/wishes as much as possible. We also had multiple family members join our trip at different times, and Sarah was able to navigate all the changes and logistics to support everyone. We ended up having a wonderful time with our two young children and our parents, thanks to Sarah’s coordination, recommendations, and support.

Even if you’re a seasoned traveler, I recommend Spain Savvy to do the heavy lifting with coordination and recommendations so you can focus on getting ready, getting excited, and enjoying the trip, as it’s their specialty! We definitely will work with Spain Savvy again for future trips!”

We’re doing a little R&D up here in the Catalonian Pyrenees. These mountains and rolling hills are some of the most forested we’ve ever seen—with thousand year-old oaks and lush valleys, it’s a nature-lover’s paradise. Not to mention the charming villages, the top-notch cuisine, and truly impeccable accommodations. And it’s an easy drive from Barcelona!

We rarely have the chance to spotlight our clients here on the blog. But when we heard this beautiful love story, we felt it deserved a spot of its own!

This summer Bill and Tina took their entire family – kids, grandkids, and all, ages 10 to 81 – on a trip to the Costa del Sol in southern Spain to celebrate Tina’s 80th birthday. Why choose southern Spain? It was here in 1967 on the beach of La Carihuela that Bill and Tina fell in love.

Thank you so much for this raving review, Vin! We love this photo of the Fabianis on their Andalusian tour with Luis of

“We just returned from our visit to Vejer de la Frontera and Seville that Sarah and her team at Spain Savvy fully arranged. All aspects were flawless and met or exceeded our expectations.

Two standouts were our driver/guide Luis and Seville guide Manuel. Luis added much local color and history as we toured the countryside and Atlantic coast of Andalusia. He was able to accommodate changes to our itinerary as we realized that we over-scheduled activities and needed some down time.

Sarah’s selection of hotels was first class and her restaurants were a good match of casual and upscale. Gracias!”

- Vin Fabiani

A five-star review of Cyra’s fabulous Spain itinerary! So proud to have her a part of the Spain Savvy travel design team.

“I am so happy I found Spain Savvy while planning our family trip to Spain. I worked with Cyra, and she was great. The itinerary was amazing, visiting cities and taking tours that I could not have planned on my own.

She arranged all of our transportation within Spain, which was difficult because we had a few moving parts to work around. Cyra was very organized with that, and everything worked out perfectly. Every hotel, tour guide and restaurant was great as well.

And while we were in Spain, she was available to answer any questions and handled any issues that arose very promptly.

I highly recommend using Spain Savvy, and am so appreciative of everything they did to make our trip such a great experience. I can’t wait to return to Spain and use them again!”

- Dennis Dobrin

A fabulous five-star review from the Wilmes family! Can’t wait to have you back!

“Sarah was amazing to work with!! I have never been out of the country before and I was a ball of nerves, but she made the experience practically stress free for my family of 6.

She thought of everything, food, experiences, sight seeing (even booked family pics to capture the moments). We really felt like we “experienced” Andalusia Spain, not just visited.

The guides she connected us with were excellent…I will happily be contacting Spain Savvy again if we decide to return (which I hope we do ☺️) Thanks again Sarah for an unforgettable family adventure 🇪🇸”

We just got back from a relaxing beach vacation and we’re feeling inspired!

Stretching the entire width of southern Spain, from the Portuguese border in the west to Almería on the south-eastern coast, Andalucía has over 600 miles of coastline.

Along its five coastal provinces – Huelva, Cádiz, Málaga, Granada, and Almería – you’ll find wide, flat sandy expanses, tiny rocky coves, and everything in between.

This is just a portion of a phenomenal review from Dave! Head to our Google page to read the rest!

“I cannot praise Spain Savvy, Sarah, and her entire team enough…

They are far more than just a travel agent; they go out of their way to ensure your trip is special and unique…

Spain Savvy set us up with some of the most exceptional tour guides. Each tour guide knew what we were interested in and tailored our experience accordingly…

Whenever I needed some assistance, I WhatsApp’d Sarah and she got right back to me…

There are soooooo many restaurants in Spain and there is no way I would have found the ones that Spain Savvy picked for us. Each one was unique and delivered an authentic experience…

The app Spain Savvy uses for our itinerary was incredible…

We are a family of 5 and some of us have never traveled out of the country before, so there was a lot of apprehension about how this trip would go. This trip was the best our family has ever had and created some unique memories that each of us will cherish forever, and I can honestly say that none of it would have been possible without the help of Spain Savvy, Sarah, and her entire team!”

Thanks so much for this fab review, Stephany!

“We had a great experience using this company. I am a single mom traveling with young adults so we had a lot of last minute change requests. They were great about helping us make alternate plans. It was really handy having someone to ask questions while traveling. Every tour they booked for us exceeded our expectations. The tour guides were great!!!”

- Stephany

The spring and summer reviews are rolling in! And it’s five stars all the way from our clients. Muchas gracias to the Mason family for their enthusiastic review from their trip to Spain!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“This was our first time utilizing Spain Savvy and would utilize again. Sarah and team made a family vacation an experience we all enjoyed. Removed all the hassles, created fun and allowed us to enjoy the trip. I COULD NOT IMAGINE ANYONE NOT USING!!”

- Mason Family

Headed to Spain and need to brush up on your Spanish? Communicating with locals (yes, even a simple “muchas gracias”) is a great way to travel responsibly and immerse yourself in the culture.

Check out the blog (link in bio) for our quick list of Spanish phrases to keep in your back pocket on your next trip to Spain.

While we could easily spend our whole summer lounging on the beach, it's no question that the lush valleys, hiking trails, and fresh air of northern Spain always beckons. If you're looking for a summer mountain escape in Spain, the Asturias region is just the place.

When the heat hits southern Spain we head north! And the Basque Country is one of our favorites in the summer time. In small towns its all bright colors and lush landscapes. In bigger cities you'll find exceptional arts and culture. And for award-winning food and drink? Well you'll find that just about everywhere.

There's a reason Spain's Balearic Islands have been enchanting visitors for years. Just look at those breathtaking turquoise waters!

Crystal clear, calm, and absurdly refreshing, the Mediterranean sea along the island of Menorca, one of these magical islands in the Balearics, is ideal for a long swim or tranquil boat ride.

This is definitely our definition of an unforgettable Spanish summer!
