Raquel Aceituno

The eternal question ... where to next?

I live for my passion: travelling. I aim to travel to every country in the world and inspire you to do the same. Nature, learning about new cultures, speaking several languages & blending in with locals, are my key drivers! During my trips, I seek adventures. I always put myself out of my comfort zone and have never regretted it! I am also an advocate of preserving and protecting our planet.

We are a project from travellers to travellers and we can't wait to take you on the best adventure ever!
I am from a wee town in Extremadura, Spain and Portugal´s borders. However, I consider myself a world citizen ;)

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Spain and Portugal"

How did you get involved in travel?

"In 2014 I decided to grab my suitcase and moved to Scotland seeking for new challenges. I have been based up there for 8 years working on Tourism and at the same time traveling the world whenever I had the opportunity.

I combine my knowledge and background in Tourism with my personal vision of the world, to share with you my travel experiences in the most genuine and honest way possible."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"mmm .... tough question!
Spain is the land of contrast and my very own place in the world, but If I had to name a feeling that would be called Granada. The scent of incense, Arabian flavours from ancient cultures and Alhambra became the most spectacular scenario to enjoy over and over again."

We loved the kimkim app which had ever detail of our day to day plan, tours, tickets, recommendation , etc and we referred to it non-stop.

Our trip was seamless, from our airport pickup in Seville, car rental, hotels, tours, tickets…through to the end. As per our request, and of course with Raquel’s assistance we were able to hit all the places on our wish list. We visited Seville, Cordoba (day trip), Cádiz, Grenada, Rhonda, Malaga and day trip to Nerja.
Our hotels in each location were in excellent locations for walking in the historic districts and meeting locations for tours. All accommodations exceeded our expectations with attentive staff, beautiful rooms, and delicious breakfasts included. We particularly enjoyed the H10 hotels that we stayed at in Seville and Malaga.
Our arranged private tours were exceptional with local knowledgeable tour guides. They all had educations and backgrounds that enhanced the experiences. We had a great variety of history, culture, food, and fun with lots of laughs along the way.

We enjoyed the next trip to Barcelona for just the two of us as well. I wish we had more days to explore the city. I appreciate the effort Raquel and her team put into finding the best hotels for our budget, and the best experiences to give us a sense of how wonderful Spain is.

Our trip was incredible!

From the planning of specific planned activities, to our “own” time, as well as all of our service providers such as the private drivers and the assistance from Espiritu Team through online messaging via the Trip Plan app. Every driver was professional, safe and vehicles were exceptional. Each of our guides from the food tours, wineries and olive oil estate were top notch. We loved the mix of small group events as well as the private guides we had on several of our experiences.

In Porto - we loved our guide’s (Joao) knowledge and the local establishments that we experienced; the Douro Wine & River Cruise was perfectly timed and our private guide’s (Tiago) personal winery experience was equally enjoyed.

In Lisbon - Our dinner with a local family was a unique experience that we will always remember. Our excursion to Sintra, Cascais was made special by our private guide (Nuno) was great. Also, our private guide (I no longer have his name) who took us on a walking tour of Alfama area of Lisbon was a joy to spend the morning walking the neighborhood.

In Lagos, Algarve the boat tour to the Benagil was a nice getaway for a few hours.

While our time in Seville was a bit compromised due to the excessive heat, the Flamenco event had a feel of real authenticity. The Olive Oil Estate also was a unique experience. Our day trip to Cordoba had beautiful sights but the heat caused us to shorten that day trip unfortunately.

Mallorca was amazing! From the accommodations at the Cala Fornells Hotel to the overall island. I think we’ll be back there in the future.

Lastly, Barcelona was so enjoyable. The Tapas tour was so much fun, the trip to Montserrat was nice as well. But the private tour of the Vins El CEP winery was a perfect end to our trip.

In summary, the timing of each stay, of each planned event mixed between our “own time” was simply perfect. The accommodations were wonderful - great locations and high quality. Without exception all of our guides and drivers made our experience a trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for all your efforts in planning and assisting us throughout our trip.

Hotel is advertised to have AC, however the rooms were very very warm & slightly uncomfortable our whole stay. The rooms are TINY- had to play Tetris to get all of our belongings situated. The bathroom, shower, and sink all in the hallway was a little odd. However, we managed! Breakfast next door was the best breakfast we had. Very kind staff at hotel and the restaurant.

Pros: - good breakfast - great location, walking distance to a lot - we wanted early check in but our room wasn’t available so we were offered an upgrade and we took it. However, the room was extremely hot. Cons: - AC is NOT GOOD. This hotel is advertised to have AC however, the room stayed very warm and stuffy no matter how low we turned it down. The summer is hot so if AC is your priority, highly recommend looking elsewhere. - location in the city is loud, bring air plugs - rooms kinda small, but manageable!

Guide in the AM walked into a lot of courtyards and stores. That was not too obnoxious just discovering the city's character.

Guide was good. Can't recall her name. Tough seeing the cathedral on the Feast day of the Patron Saint but we saw the body of the 874 year old king - so that was a treat.

Hi Malinda! Thank you so much for taking the time to share the feedback of your family trip to Spain. I am glad to know that you had a great times, specially discovering the cities with our local guide, I will certainly share your words with them. Sad to hear about the Dear Madrid Hotel, has a more urban vibe than the ones offered in Andalucía, it may be a personal taste, I believe : ) It was a pleasure creating this experience for you and your family and we get in touch again for future adventures. All the best, Raquel
