The Good Traveller Experience
Programme for people over 50Come to Galicia. Come with me!
“The good traveller is interested in everything that forms a part of the culture they are going to visit. They both observe and take part in it.”
The Good Traveller Experience is a one-week cultural and leisure programme (a minimum of 10 people are required) aimed at anyone over the age of 50 who would like to take part in all of the activities prepared by its coordinator, Blanca Fernández Piñeiro: a variety of experiences perfectly adapted to mature, inquisitive, and responsible travellers who have a friendly attitude towards the culture they visit, seeking to do so in a relaxed, comfortable environment.
Obviously we are all foreigners when we travel, but we no longer want to form a part of the crowd, without any real knowledge of what we are seeing.
With a cultural and leisure programme as exclusive as The Good Traveller Experience you’ll return home knowing that you’ve learned new things that it’s unlikely you would have experienced on your own: not because they would have been impossible to discover, but because the exclusive, personal treatment you receive.
Blanca offers something unique with The Good Traveller Experience: that visitors enjoy their stay with all of the quality and experiences they seek. How does she do it? Well, because she’s a good traveller too!
The cultural programme of The Good Traveller Experience will surprise you for its unique, innovative approach. How do we do it? Well, you’ll be visiting the places that we, the locals, visit, because we’ll treat you like a friend who’s come along to enjoy the kind of activities we enjoy doing at the weekend, because we create a long-lasting memory, and because we’re close and sociable.
We believe in the quality of The Good Traveller Experience, a cultural and leisure programme designed to provide you with long-lasting memories
Let me create the right programme for you!
BOTH THE GOOD TRAVELLER EXPERIENCE and THE GOOF FAMILY PROGRAMMES can be adjusted to your needs. If one of the travellers does not wish to attend our Spanish language morning encounters, while their friends do, we can arrange other activities for him / her. The same applies to family trips: interesting experiences can be offered to parents while their children learn Spanish in the mornings.
