Spain is home to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Europe. From the beaches of the Costa Brava to the snow-capped mountains of the Pyrenees, there is something for everyone to enjoy. And, of course, Spain is also home to an abundance of wildlife. Whether you're looking to spot some rare birds in Andalusia or hoping to catch a glimpse of a Spanish ibex in the Sierra Nevada, there are plenty of opportunities for wildlife watching in Spain. Here are just a few of the best nature and wildlife experiences that Spain has to offer: 1. Spotting Flamingos in Andalusia: One of the most iconic images of Andalusia is that of flamingos wading through its wetlands. The best place to see these magnificent birds is at the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra Natural Park, where you can also find other interesting wildlife such as Great Cormorants and Little Grebes. 2. Hiking Through Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park: This national park, located in the Pyrenees Mountains, is home to an incredible array of plant and animal life. When hiking through its forests and meadows, you may spot animals such as brown bears, chamois, red deer, and marmots. 3. Seeing Iberian Lynxes in Extremadura: The Iberian lynx is one of the most endangered animals in the world, Accommodations for All Budgets Whether you're looking for a luxurious vacation or a budget-friendly getaway, you’ll find it in Spain. With its beautiful beaches, stunning architecture, and rich culture, it's no wonder that Spain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. There are plenty of accommodation options to suit all budgets in Spain. For those looking to splurge, there are luxury hotels with all the bells and whistles. If you're traveling on a budget, there are also many affordable hotels and hostels throughout the country. Tips for Saving Money While Traveling in Spain Spain is a renowned tourist destination for good reason - its stunningly well-preserved architecture and art, delicious food, and rich culture offer travelers an incredible experience. However, as with any travel destination, it's important to be mindful of your spending. Here are a few tips for saving money while traveling in Spain: 1. Use public transportation whenever possible. Spain has an excellent public transportation system that can get you around the country relatively cheaply.  2. Accommodations don't have to be luxurious to be comfortable. There are plenty of affordable hotels, guesthouses, and hostels throughout Spain. Again, I can help you find the ideal accommodation that will meet your budget and preferences. 3. Take advantage of free activities. Many of Spain's most popular attractions - including museums, churches, and parks - are free or have very reasonable admission rates.  4. Eat like a local. Tapas are a signature Spanish dish, and they're often very affordable (and delicious!). In general, avoiding restaurants aimed at tourists will help you save money on meals. 5 Shop at local markets for souvenirs instead of high-end stores . You'll find unique gifts at a fraction of the price. Spain is a beautiful and diverse country with something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway or an exciting city break, there are plenty of destinations in Spain that can satisfy your needs. I can plan a short or lengthy escape for you as your travel agent professional. Let’s begin today. Call me now and let’s plan your Spain holiday.

Mahalo!
We've been to Hawaii today, but Philip put together a trip that showed us parts of Hawaii that we had never experienced before.

He's my one and only travel agent
I found Philip online when I was planning my first trip to France. I'm so glad I did! He was so patient learning my interests and expectations. The vacation truly exceeded my expectations. He took great care picking locations, selecting the hotels and excursions. We had the most charming upscale inn in Paris, a fabulous view in Nice and pampering spa in Aix. Next, he made my solo trip to Ireland and Amsterdam easy and memorable. Everything spot on!

Terrific agent!
Thanks for planning our fantastic trip to Greece. We were overwhelmed with our choices after reading a mountain of travel books and online reviews. You were so patient helping us sort through all of our ideas. Your itinerary was perfect the way you combined the Greek Islands with the mainland. Your suggestions to include Meteora Delphi and Napllion were brilliant. Sue and Dave W, Portland, OR

The honeymoon we never had came true
Philip put together our long postponed honeymoon to Italy. Everything was flawless. He was easily accessible when we had one problem finding our airport transfer in Naples. The selection of upscale hotels and itinerary were unique and memorable. We love food and drink and he set us up with some great cooking classes. He'll be our agent for our anniversary travel.
