Andalusia
Andalusia is famous for the notion of Duende, a heightened sense of emotion, which has inspired its famous flamenco music for centuries. There’s nowhere quite like Andalusia, a region which has been heavily influenced both by Islam and Christianity; this merging of two religious cultures makes for an eclectic mix of architecture as well as a fascinating history! Join us as we hike through the Sierra Nevada, explore wonderful Granada and learn how the region’s conservation efforts are encouraging wildlife back to the incredible Andalusian wilderness.

Testimonials
Words from our customers
Traveling with Lorna Cannon as our guide was a seamless experience. She was prepared and very well educated for our tours and excursions. I have traveled with several companies as a teacher who takes students abroad, and no one has connected with me and my students on the level that she did.
Melissa Jurewicz
High School Teacher, Ohio
Lorna Cannon was our tour guide in the summer of 2019. I brought 9 American students to Germany where we spent a week on the Island of Usedom for a homestay. Then we met Lorna in Berlin. She checked us into the hotel and made sure that everyone was comfortable and safe. During the next two days, Lorna led us through Berlin to sightseeing tours, a street art workshop, and restaurants. She was very knowledgeable explaining several landmarks on the way and could back it up with historical facts. After Berlin, she came with us to Dresden, Terezin, and finally Prague. Throughout the whole trip, Lorna had been very friendly, super-helpful, and professional. I highly recommend her as a tour guide!
