It was a very nice long weekend. Many thanks for organising the flights and hotel.
Small blip - H10 Marina in Barcelona is adjacent to a building at the back which had very loud music coming from a bar. Moved rooms to the front and then much better
The hotel chosen for us in the centre of Malaga by Cody was perfect. A beautiful hotel
All good
All went well as usual.
I have already recommended you
Exceptional service throughout
Hotel staff were universally excellent.
Looking forward to the next trip
Particular thanks to Jerry
Another lovely holiday.
The personal care with even the most simple bookings is excellent
Another brilliant trip, as always. Thanks for sorting this one out and at such short notice. We will be back soon
As ever Matthew and colleagues were efficient, friendly and delivered
I never have problems with DialAFlight.

Howard is great
Will be back!
Great service from Kylie. Cancelled flight ruined the end but this was no fault of DialAFlight
Excellent as always

Excellent service start to finish
Fantastic service!
Thanks again Reid Marshall for a seamless holiday. Everything was perfect!
Excellent service as always from DialAFlight. Manny always seemed to be at the end of the phone and always helpful and calm. Thank you for taking the stress out of travelling.
Very helpful as usual
Gareth Carver provided 5 star service and always goes above and beyond to help. We have recommended him to friends and when Gareth isn't available the rest of the team are so helpful and willing to provide excellent support
Very impressed as usual by Kennedy, any problems dealt with promptly, always very helpful.
DialAFlight were great but the destination (not DialAFlight's fault) was not my best.
Megan is excellent
Mid-afternoon and the sun is at shirt-sleeve strength, the air scented with shrimp, garlic and sherry and every inch of the Plaza del Salvador is occupied. A public holiday? No – merely Seville as Friday ripens into the weekend.
For the full spectrum of the city's pleasures in a weekend, opt for one of the newer, smaller hotels near this central square. Hotels such as the Alminar, where manager Francisco and his team will let you in on the Seville's secrets.
Santa Cruz, once the Jewish quarter, is east from here and home to the baroque splendour of the Salvador church. There is little traffic, just the occasional car or waspish moped. It is a bewildering tangle of fountains, courtyards and secluded gardens.
The Giralda, the bell tower, spot-lit at night, which crowns the cathedral, is a helpful marker: use it as a guide and you can wander, perhaps to Calle Mateos Gago, where the pavements overflow with tables, chairs and orange trees. For artistic intensity, head to Casa de la Memoria on Calle Cuna for flamenco of almost spiritual possession; heels machine-gunning down on bare floorboards.
Back in a roof-terrace room at the Alminar, you have a private view of the cathedral, just 50 yards away. An empire of a building, its dark interior has an altar drenched in gold and a tomb supposedly containing the remains of Christopher Columbus.
Two minutes' walk to the south is the Alcazar, the royal palace, which requires a full afternoon. Its toy fort castellated walls belie the decorative intricacy within including colonnaded courtyards and regal chambers with stucco friezes and azulejo tiles. The gardens boast palms, peacocks and an hourly water-powered organ recital.
Squeeze in also Casa Pilatos, one of the Duchess of Medinaceli's many residences. There is an El Greco in the dining room, a Tintoretto in the tower room and, most memorably, a painting of a breastfeeding, bearded woman, with her husband looking haggard at her shoulder.
The Sevillanos do justice to Sunday lunch, dining until at least 5pm – so there is time to digest the feast of your experiences at an outside table at Modesto in Santa Cruz or La Fabrica in the Alameda area before flying home.
