Our Story
I’m a Spain-based (Principality of Asturias) travel advisor with a journalist’s eye and 30+ years in strategic communications—so I don’t do generic “must-sees.” I design culture-forward, food-and-wine-rich trips built around boutique properties, real local character, and seamless logistics.
If you want Spain beyond the obvious (from the North to Andalucía), I’ll curate an itinerary that feels effortless—and unforgettable.
Travel Style
My travel style is quiet luxury with a strong sense of place—beautiful landscapes, living heritage, and food and wine with real provenance. I design culture-forward itineraries with impeccable pacing and seamless logistics, so everything feels effortless, elevated, and deeply rooted in Spain.

We have done several trips organized by Covadonga and we will definitely repeat more trips with her. She has prepared this trip to Egypt for us in detail and we have seen many more and more interesting things than on another previous trip we have made. Without a doubt, she does a great job so that her clients are always satisfied, even if you have doubts once you reach the destination. As I say, we will repeat with her for our next trip Excellent travel advisor.

Travel Along the Wine Route in the Rioja Alavesa
Spain is the largest vineyard in the world and getting to know the impressive variety of wines is one of my goals. I want to share with you some magical places in the Rioja Alavesa, where you can visit emblematic wineries, enjoy the local gastronomy and the millenary heritage of this country. Walk with me through the towns of Elciego or Laguardia, Labastida, Moreda, Labraza, Samaniego, Elvillar... you can stay in wineries, taste fantastic wines and get to know the archaeological or natural heritage. Will you join me?

Guide to Santiago de Compostela: Asturias and Galicia
There are thousands of itineraries for a walk to Santiago de Compostela from all over Europe and the rest of the world. The walk is an inner journey that will not leave you indifferent in which faith, sport, art or nature can be your motivation. Whatever it is, it is always a great experience.
To know the origin of the Camino de Santiago is to know the Primitive Way, which the legendary Asturian King Alfonso II made in the 8th century, as the first pilgrim, between Oviedo (in the Principality of Asturias) and Santiago de Compostela (in Galicia).
For many, it is the most iconic and demanding of all the sections of the Camino in Europe. A journey that will take you through paths of legendary history and will make you climb almost close to heaven at its highest stage (the mythical Hospitales stage). Which is why it is only recommended for the most trained and adventurous.
The Camino de Santiago is today traveled every year by thousands of people, but this route is the most desired by almost all of them. Following in the footsteps of the first pilgrim is evocative and will give you a great experience to know the best of Asturias and Galicia.
