Wonderful family trip to Andalucia and Morroco!

Spain | Dec 26 - Jan 3, 2025

Thank you, Helena (and KimKim), for building an amazing family trip to Andalucia and Morocco! Here are some of the highlights:

Spain
1. The Alhambra! Susanna was a very knowledgeable guide. Later that day, Nacho gave a great walking tour of the Albaycin neighborhood, and we had an excellent meal at Carmen Mirador de Aixa - great food and views of the Alhambra :)
2. Hiking in Las Alpujarras! Jaime was one of our favorite guides. The scenery was beautiful, and we loved the small mountain towns (Capileira, Bubion, Pampaneira).
3. Malaga. Fany was our favorite guide of the trip - we learned a lot and she helped our daughter with her Spanish, too! Plus, Malaga is a beautiful city. We especially liked the fortress, cathedral, and Roman theater.

Morocco
4. Yousef was a wonderful guide and host throughout our time in Morocco. He arranged every detail for us and we were worry-free throughout our stay.
5. Hamid taught us so much when he guided us through the medina on our first day in Marrakech.
6. We loved getting outside the city. Driving through the Atlas Mountains kept us on the edge of our seats! And riding camels in Agafay was a highlight for all of us. The sunrise hot air balloon ride was a first for all of us - cold, but really fun.
7. Essaouira was our favorite town in Morocco. It's a beautiful, clean, beach town - the fortress and old city were so fun to stroll. Rashida was a wonderful guide - she taught us so much, and adjusted her pace to match what we wanted.
8. Back in Marrakech, we loved our stay at Riad Anya. The entire staff was so welcoming and kind and helpful, in spite of late arrivals and/or early departures, and changing plans. They accommodated us wonderfully throughout. A huge thank you to that staff!

Thanks,
The Lockwood Family
