Itinerary Feedback
Hi,
I’ll be visiting Spain around September and looking for some feedback. This will be my second time visiting Europe, last year around the same time, I visited Italy.
Please provide me with some feedback or things to consider that you think I should be aware of.
My preference is some planning, wondering, vibes & free will :)
Thanks!
