Customizing a Trafalgar Tours Europe Itinerary

We skipped out. It was as simple as that. On a warm spring evening in Madrid, while the rest of the travelers on our Trafalgar Tours Europe trip went out for a group dinner, we went somewhere else. Skipping out was just one way we made the most of our tour of Spain.
