Coraima Yañez
As a travel specialist with kimkim, my goal is to create personalized trips tailored to your very own interests. Whether it's a relaxing, beach-side vacation on the coast or a wine tour in a countryside village, I strive to promote places and experiences that show the authentic culture, cuisine, and history of your destination. I hope to share my own firsthand knowledge and insights to create an unforgettable journey for you!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in covering Spain and Portugal's highlights, sprinkling off-the-beaten-path experiences for those looking to enjoy each country's lesser-known gems; whether that's a romantic getaway, cultural and heritage exploration, or an adventure-filled vacation!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion for travel started after taking my first international trip as an undergraduate student. This encouraged me to continue exploring new destinations, both with groups and as a solo traveler. Since then, I've traveled to various countries throughout Europe, Central America, North America, and a couple of destinations in Africa. Having lived in Spain during my travels with visits to Portugal, I hope to share my love for these countries and all they have to offer!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my favorite experiences was joining the Batalla del Vino, or Battle of the Wine, in Haro, a small town in Spain famous for it's red wines. Every year, thousands of locals and tourists come together, split into teams, and throw liters of red wine at each other on a hilltop followed by a festival at the town square. People carried bottles, cups, even buckets filled with wine! When given the opportunity, I recommend participating in local celebrations, especially those less common, to get a firsthand look at a country's culture. "

Guides were all good, their areas of expertise was very thorough. Accommodations for each city were great, each hotel had its own charm.
Kim Kim’s service was attentive and pretty much immediate. The only hicup we had was timing on our pickups from the train depot. We were able to arrange our own ride in Seville.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words about your experience with us, Jeffrey! I'm so happy to read that you enjoyed the guides, accommodations, and overall service from my team at kimkim. Each city does have its own unique charm, and I'm glad that came through during your travels — it's what makes Spain so special! I hope your time has left you with incredible memories, and that you're already looking forward to your next international trip. I'm looking forward to seeing you again at kimkim!
