Customer Experience since 2013

"The best trip to Spain is the one that fits you, not the one with the longest checklist."

I look after the customer experience at Jump2spain, which means I spend my days listening to travellers: what made their holiday special, and what could have been better. That's the lens I bring to every article I write on our blog Inside Spain.

My corner of Spain is the warm one. Winter sun in the Canary Islands, a slow day in Seville with the right tapas bar, a summer road trip along the Costa Blanca.

I care about the details that make a stay easy: a pool that works for families, an all-inclusive that's actually worth it, and a hotel close enough to walk to the beach.

Emma's tips to travel like an expert

Check the pool is heated

In winter the sea around the Canaries is about 19–20 °C: a heated pool makes all the difference, especially with kids.

Order a "media ración"

Many tapas bars in Seville serve half portions, so you can try twice as many dishes.

Beat the coaches in Guadalest

Arrive early in the morning: by late morning the village fills with day trips from Benidorm.
