My sister is planning a trip to Southern Spain and needs help. She has found an agency called Lemon Valley Holidays- which specializes in Adalusian itineraries. She is more comfortable using an agency than winging it- Is anyone familiar with this agency??
Thanks guys-

Hi lb,

Can't help about the agency.

However, the re is a middle course between an agency and winging it.

She could plan her trip herself.

We will be happy to help.

I KNOW!!!
I am a diehard Fodorite planning a trip to Italy on these boards even as we speak. I wont make a move without you guys and have not only had fantastic vacations, but have made some really good friends here.
That said-- she's just too overwhelmed!!

Well, if she's already committed to paying for this service, you might as well connect her with Maribel, who almost certainly knows way more than any agency hack.

Hi St. Cirq-- You were so helpful to me in planning my last trip to Provence (I think 2004!)

Who is Maribel? Sorry-- not that familiar with the Spain folks yet.

You can reach Maribel here; I would highly recommend using her services. She has an incredible breath of information and knows the country better than anyone I could ever imagine:

You can reach Maribel through her web page:

Lemon Valley Holidays appears to be a expat company (Brits?) based in Malaga.

Thank you everybody--

Robert- yes - I believe they are in Spain-- I will try to divert my sister to Maribel.

ekscrunchy-- I have been meaning to post on the Italy board to you and will. Am a fellow New Yorker doing a similar trip this summer (Rome, Amalfi Coast etc) and have loads of questions for you. Have been inhaling your trip reports.

Thank you everybody

I live in Andalucia and had never heard of this company but have just googled them and depending on her interests etc they appear quite good, for an organised tour.

The classic 7 day covers all the major cities and if you have limited time would seem OK. The others seem more directed at particular interests - e.g. paradors, white villages.

LBrawer: Please ask any and all questions!

And please ask her to consider using the services of Maribel..I cannot think of another poster who has been more forthcoming and generous with detailed and in-depth advice on this forum.

I agree with Scrunchy.

Thanks so much guys-
scrunchy- I will ask you my questions on your last trip report to the Amalfi coast unless there's a better way to contact you.

You can ask on the thread containing the trip report for the time being...I look forward to "talking" with you!
