Spain Travel and Tourist Information Guide


Welcome to Spanish Fiestas..

The internet can be a faceless world where anyone can pretend to be anything they wish.

I'd like to use this page to give you a little background to myself and to Spanish Fiestas to prove to you that we are real and that you can have every confidence in dealing with us.

Background ...

My name is Gerry. I live in Southern Spain with my wife Kirsty. Originally I'm from a town called Warrington in the north-west of England. In 1981 I went to Lancaster University and graduated in Economics.

After some time travelling in Australia I went To Bristol University and obtained a postgraduate teacher training certificate in Economics and Business Studies which allowed me to move to Spain and take up my first post as an Economics teacher in Mallorca.

In 1991 I became head of Economics at a British school in Madrid where I met Kirsty. She was the computer teacher.

Birth of Spanish Fiestas ...

In September 1994 the travel bug was too strong and we left London Gatwick for Kathmandu at the beginning of a year travelling around the world. It was during this year that the idea of Spanish Fiestas arose.

Back in Spain a year later we set up an English language teaching business in the village of Miraflores de la Sierra near Madrid which Kirsty ran while I got a job in the Business Studies department of Madrid University.

After much preparation, our first Spanish Fiestas customers arrived in 1996 when we began offering cultural and sporting city breaks to Madrid and Barcelona.  

For the next five years we slowly expanded our city breaks and began offering small group tours which included visits to the great Moorish cities of Andalucia ... Granada, Seville and Cordoba.

Spanish Fiestas Today ...

In June 2001 we decided that it was time for me to work full time with Spanish Fiestas as there simply wasn't enough time in a day to balance a part-time travel business with a full-time teaching job.  

We moved away from Madrid (I can't stand traffic jams as anyone who has toured with me will testify!) to the south of Spain ...why be 5 hours from the sea when you can be 5 minutes? One of the beauties of internet based businesses is the geographical flexibility!

Today Spanish Fiestas is a private limited company which employs Kirsty and I full time offering a whole range of travel related services in Spain.

An important development for us has been our growing involvement in event ticketing especially for FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and the Spanish Grand Prix which has attracted an increasing number of corporate clients who work with us to organise incentive and hospitality events.

Philosophy ...

As a small, family run business we are able to offer our clients outstanding personal attention from the first communication requesting information until the completion of your private tour.

We cannot and do not attempt to compete with large-scale operators on the basis of price but believe our competitive advantage lies in the quality of the services we offer. 

Many years of travelling around Spain have provided us with invaluable knowledge of our destinations. We can recommend outstanding accommodation, restaurants and things to do wherever we go as well as pointing you in the direction of excellent local tapas bars not often discovered by tourists.  

As a British owned and operated business our guests are catered for in English so you need never fear that language will be any problem during your stay (or when you ring the office!).

Should you have any further enquiries after browsing our website please do not hesitate to contact us and we shall look forward to meeting you here in Spain for a Spanish Fiesta.

Have you ever considered setting up your own online business?

We've been online since May 1998 and it's taken literally thousands of hours of trial and error to get the Spanish Fiestas website to what it is today. I've lost count of the number of ebooks I've bought and studied to help not only create a good site but also to attract traffic to it. In addition I subscribe to all kinds of internet marketing newsletters and have spent a small fortune on useful software.

None of this is necessary any longer thanks to an integrated software package from a Montreal based company which helps you build your site, attract huge amounts of traffic and make sales through a whole range of money making avenues. Anyone can now turn their interest into a profitable business. I wish it had been around when we started this site.

The concept of earning commissions online is called "affiliate marketing". If earning an income online by writing about an interest of yours is appealing then downoad the Affiliate Masters Course. It costs nothing and will explain everything you need to know about setting up a profitable online business.

Best Wishes ...
Gerry + Kirsty


I've had to remove the live link to our email addresses above in an attempt to prevent bulk email software from adding us to their mailing lists. The amount of SPAM we receive every day is out of control.  You can contact us through the link at the top of the page.
