The six-night New Year’s escape included all of this and more, and featured:
The accommodations were in lovely 4* hotels in Seville (1 night), Puerto da Santa Maria (3 nights), and Vejer de la Frontera (2 nights). The tour also included all the meals except for one, and transfers could be arranged for an additional cost.
