Is it time to treat yourself to something spectacular?
How about a two story whirlpool bath terrace suite?
Nov 30-Dec 4 with great round trip air from TULSA, round trip private luxury transfers, cancel for any reason trip insurance (future travel credit, not cash back).
Best of all it's adult-only and all-inclusive.
I was there in December last year and LOVED it. Great food and service, wonderful beach, amazing pool. The French restaurant is to die for.
Only $5284 per COUPLE. That's a great sale price. Can you swing it?

Walk through olive groves and rugged hills in Andalucía!
Outside the golden cultural triangle of Seville, Cordoba and Granada, the rural landscape of Andalucía is breathtaking. And what better way to appreciate it than on foot? This walking holiday takes us through rugged hills, sunflower fields and olive groves, while also visiting the limestone peaks of Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, El Chorro gorge, and the cliffside walkway called El Caminito del Rey. In this corner of Europe, the excesses of modern life do not seem to have taken root and your home for the week is the perfect example: a rustic, homely cortijo (farmhouse) in the agricultural heartlands. Additionally, there’s a whole day reserved for exploring the magnificent city of Seville.

Give me a call-I'd love to tell you all about this walking tour in Spain! 918-429-3267 or email [email protected]
