Co-owner and Sales and Marketing Director
Languages: Danish, English and Spanish.

Over the past 13 years I have visited Northern Spain on countless occasions. Since 2009 I have been living in León - in the north-western part of Spain. I like to take every opportunity to visit new parts of the area or increase my knowledge of already known destinations. This way we can continue to expand and update our extensive guidebook that our guests receive before their holiday.

Northern Spain will be able to satisfy even the most demanding guest because the area is incredibly varied. This fact also makes everyday fun, as the search for new destinations includes everything from visiting attractive beaches and high mountains to beautiful castles and historic towns. Not least, it includes visiting the best hotels in the region and trying out exciting activities to find the best solutions for our guests.

We only work with high quality places and we expect an extraordinary level of service from our partners, so that our guests will experience the very best of Northern Spain.

I look forward to hearing from you so that I can send you a proposal for your special holiday in Northern Spain.

German market manager

Hello, my name is Louise and I'm German.

I arrived in León in 2010 and I fell in love with the beauty of northern Spain: without a doubt, a paradise to discover. Little by little I discovered new places and corners of the north of this magnificent country and I continue to do so as often as possible. As a result, I know perfectly well how to advise and help you to get to know this area, whether individually, as a couple or with children, I assure you that it will surprise you.

I love to travel, enjoy nature and discover a new landscape either walking or by bike. Professionally I come from another area, but my love for the north of Spain has brought me to the Spain is More team... 
The north of Spain offers a wide variety of opportunities to fall in love, not only because of its fantastic landscapes, mountains and beaches but also for its people and of course for its gastronomy. The culinary side is a real treat for the palate.

If you want to travel like a local, contact me and I will give you the opportunity to discover Northern Spain as the paradise that it is.

I'm Ziggy, from the Netherlands. After living on Ibiza for many years, it was time to make the mainland of Spain my true home, and go back with my tribe to the roots of my Spanish husband, the North of Spain.

And how blessed I am to be able to live here! The north of Spain is a true paradise! Every trip we do we discover something new and beautiful, and we are enjoying an unforgettable experience! And I am very pleased to give you the same experience and organize your trip!

It's not only the beauty of the big mountains, the deep blue mixed with turquoise sea and the all-around green nature, but also the way of life and the amazingly kind people that make this one of my favorite parts of Spain for me.

I am extremely excited and to give the people who are traveling with Spain Is More the most unique travel experience ever!.

Administration and back office Manager
Languages: Spanish and English.

Hi! My name is Sofia. I am responsible for the administration and bookings at Spain is More I will make sure everything is perfectly planned for your trip.

I really enjoy my job and I learn something new every day.

I was born in León where I also studied. During my university studies, I lived one year in Budapest and another one in England. I speak English and, of course, Spanish.

I love traveling and getting to know new cultures. The north of Spain is spectacular, and it never stops amazing me. I always go to visit new places when I have the time.

Waking the Camino was a very enriching experience for me, both personally and professionally. What I liked the most was meeting new people every day and sharing our life stories.

Álvaro

Administration and back-office Manager
Languages: Spanish, English and Portuguese.

Hi, I'm Alvaro! I was born and grew up in León, in the northwest of Spain.

After I graduated, I decided to travel to continue my training, which led me to spend several years living in England, Ireland, and Italy. Knowing different countries each with its culture, made me become a more tolerant person, discovering new points of view.

In my free time I love hiking, and Picos de Europa is the best place to do so. I am so lucky that it is only a couple of hours driving from León where I live and work at the head offices of Spain is More. Another of my favorite sports in the wintertime is skiing.

The north of Spain has mild and sunny summers and I love going to the Asturian and Galician coast where I enjoy incredible landscapes and beaches along with extraordinary gastronomy.

I encourage you to discover one of the most unknown and beautiful areas of Spain. I can guarantee you that this will not be just another trip, it will be unforgettable!
