Wow. We had a great time hiking in the hills outside of Barcelona with our friends at Spanish-Trails.com . First, Charles takes us through the town, then to lunch, then for a hike in the hills. Check out the video!

We had a great time in Catalonia in Northeastern Spain last month with the Charles and Tracy at Spanish Trails. Here’s a brief video on kayaking through the caves and coves off the coast. Pay special attention to the geology of the rock. Many different colors of sedimentary rock line the shore.

You’ve GOT to go visit Spain! In and around Barcelona, Spanish Trails offers a number of trips, including kayaking, hiking, climbing, wine-tasting, horseback riding and city tours.

Your travel agent loves details. That’s why I like USTravel. They like to wrap everything up nicely. It’s not just the deal on air fares, although here’s a great one that Kelly Jo (Call her right now at 800-544-2217) and I were checking:

Whether it’s a tour, a cruise or a resort, check with your travel agent for the best deals. I came back with good reviews for Spanish Trails in Catalonia, for example. If you’re headed to Barcelona, Kelly Jo can make arrangements to go on Spanish Trails’ wine trips, their sea kayaking excursions–or hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains! Careful–that last step is a doozie! Check with Kelly Jo for all the details. Ask her about 65 percent discounts on “Sandals” all-inclusive resorts Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, or the Bahamas. Plus, she always has some great cruise deals at her fingertips. Call (907)561-2434 or toll-free (800)544-2217.
