Touring Spain, what you might expect

Spain, as a country, has been around for centuries, a great exploring nation that has incorporated much of the culture that was imported to the country from nations it has visited to provide a rich tapestry that needs to be experienced to be believed.

  • One of the biggest attractions in Spain is the Flamenco while many know it as a dance it is so much more. It is the ultimate expression of passion, when you witness the dance it is a performance that has singing, up-tempo guitar playing, full of romance and brilliantly colored costumes. Spaniards describe Flamenco as a state of mind that is a deep emotional expression from the performers' hearts who will entertain the traveler with the dance. When you see the show, the connection you will feel with the performers is unlike anything you have ever experienced and it will leave a lifelong impression upon you.
  • Bullfighting to a Spaniard is the same a hockey to a Canadian – apart from soccer – it is their national sport that attracts many locals and visitors to the stadiums where the events are staged. The bullfighting season runs from April through September and many towns have bullfighting festivals that run for a week or two. If are visiting the country, chances are you can see a bullfight any day of the week. When you visit Spain, you must go to Pamplona in July for the Pamplona Running of the Bulls that is part of the San Fermin Festival.
  • Another sports passion that the Spanish hold near and dear to their hearts is football – also known as soccer. Many visitors will want to take in a game in Madrid to see Real Madrid – one of the world’s most successful soccer clubs in action. The stadium is always packed with supporters who live and die on every play and the Spanish take their soccer as seriously as a Canadian takes his hockey interest.
  • If you need a down day from all the adrenalin-related activities, Spain has many UNESCO sites to visit that hold many secrets that can be unlocked with a visit to one of the many sites like the cities of Cordoba, Granada or Toledo. Santiago de Compostela is a shrine to St. James that is a must see as is the town of Avila that is a fortified city that dates back centuries.
  • History is on display when you visit the caves of Altamira in Northern Spain. The 17 caves have ancient artwork on the walls of the caves that dates back more than 35,000 years BC. If archaeology isn’t for you but you might want to see some of the art that Spain is famous for – the works of Dali and Picasso hang in Reine Sofia National Art Museum, the Prado Museum and the Museo Guggenheim.

One thing to remember when touring Spain, temperatures is decidedly summery – the temperature fluctuates between 64F-85F, so pack accordingly for your visit.

Tours to Spain and Portugal

While in Spain, you can make a hop, skip and a jump to Portugal for tours of Portugal that will leave you breathless. Great wine, outstanding art, and culture are just part of the trip when you visit the seafaring nation that was a great world explorer during the 1500-1600s. Some of the top things attractions in Portugal that you must see include the Tower of Belem, the park and National Palace of Pena, the Geronimo’s Monastery, and the Castelo de S. Jorge to name but a few.

The IBMT Bar Mitzvah tour was fantastic! It was the perfect blend of family time and peer group time, of sites with religious/historic significance and just plain fun. The guide was personable and informative, and even the bus driver was great. All the details were attended to and you didn’t have to concern yourself with or worry about a thing. It was a true vacation. We would highly recommend it to anyone. If you are going to Eilat, Petra is a must!

We went on a church group to the Holyland with IBMT Tours and had a great trip, everything was planned for us perfectly. There was over 123 people in four different bus groups and things went smoothly, I thought it was going to be hectic with that many people in the group but IBMT did a wonderful job and made sure the buses did not go convoy, every bus had its own time table and itinerary for the day, our guide Dani was so knowledgeable and loving. We love you IBMT and we will recommend you guys. Thanks for everything you have done for us.

We just returned from Israel on an IBMT Bar Mitzvah Tour for our three grandsons.  We had enough family members to warrant our own bus.  After checking out many tour companies we went with IBMT and all of us were glad we did.  The hotels were fabulous and the rooms allotted even more so.  From the INBAL in Jerusalem, KFAR BLUM in the Galilee, the SHERATON in Tel Aviv, to the ROYAL BEACH in Eilat we couldn’t have asked for more.  Our meals were equally excellent.  Beginning with a welcome reception at the INBAL to the closing dinner at the CANAAN restaurant in Tel Aviv one and all loved them.

It was a busy tour made even more so by my husband who was determined the grandchildren see “everything”.  Fortunately for us, we had the best guide when Ornan (from IBMT) gave us GADI.  All of the groups loved their guides but Gadi was  special.  He was able to reach the kids (ages 7-13) as well as the adults.  His knowledge, willingness to adjust the schedule, and good nature gave him a soft spot in all of our hearts.  He filled in at Yad Vashem when the guide droned on a bit too much for some of us.  He searched out a cemetery where a father, grandfather and great grandfather was buried and proceeded to enlighten us on the rituals and customs of a military cemetery.  He adjusted our times to include those little extras.  When weather precluded the camels, we visited Qumran.  After the Bar Mitzvahs, some wanted to walk down Masada - again, no problem. 

We loved everything.  Friday night dinner with an Israeli family (coincidentally the husband was from Toronto), meeting the soldiers on the kibbutz, the Druze lunch, sampling different foods at the shuk, the bullet factory and on and on.  Although the weather was precarious in December, it didn’t stop us and we were able to celebrate Chanukah in Israel...menorahs  everywhere, sufganiyot of every kind, celebrations in the street galore.

Would we recommend this tour...without a moments hesitation.  We had a family trip of a lifetime.  Thank you also to our bus driver Louie, whom we all loved and who got us around safely. 

“Gadi” - what else can we say ... g double o - d, j-o-b. Good job, good job.  V-e-r-y-n-i-c-e, very nice, very nice.💕

 

 

I cannot imagine a better, more organized, more perfect experience! IBMT went above and beyond all expectations!

Loved the trip! The itinerary was fantastic and really kept us moving. We were able to see and do so much. Best of all was our tour guide Natalie. She was very kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of Israel.
