Description

Embark on a magical journey through the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, where the baroque soul of La Mancha merges with the spirituality of Guadalupe and the golden grandeur of Trujillo. This 7-day itinerary invites you to discover villages with literary history, Starlight nature reserves, convents converted into Paradores and a gastronomy with deeply local roots.

From the Corral de Comedias de Almagro to the pure skies of the Monfragüe National Park, every day is a celebration of culture, flavour and the firmament. Taste traditional dishes such as ratatouille from La Mancha, pickled partridge or hornazo from Salamanca, always paired with wines with Denomination of Origin. And as night falls, stargaze in some of Europe's clearest skies, guided by experts and state-of-the-art telescopes.

A journey for the senses, intellect and spirit. An authentic experience between heritage, nature and constellations.

INCLUSION INSURANCE IN COMBINED TRAVEL RESERVATIONS


With regard to our inclusion insurance, said insurance exclusively includes those people who have their residence and origin of the trip in Spain or Portugal.


CHAPTER I (Obligations of information and content of the combined travel contract), Article 153 (Pre-contractual information), point 1, section H:


"1. Before the traveler is bound by any package travel contract or corresponding offer, the organizer, and also the retailer, when the package is sold through the latter, will provide the traveler with the form with the standard information regarding to the package trip that appears in annex II, A or B, as well as the following information that is applicable to the package trip:

"h) Information on the subscription of an optional insurance that covers the expenses originated in the event that the traveler decides to terminate the contract or the expenses of assistance, including those of repatriation, in case of accident, illness or death."



Said section refers to the obligation to inform the client of the possibility of contracting insurance, not to the obligation to include insurance on the trip, that is, the client has the power (option) to contract insurance with the agency or not. . The agency has the obligation to inform that it is recommended that the client take out insurance that includes, at least, issues such as repatriation,... which is basically inclusion insurance.


Once the agency informs the client about the recommendation to contract insurance for the trip, it is the client who can contract insurance with the agency, or contract it directly with whoever they want.
