Sarah Gemba | Founder
Hola, I'm Sarah!
I’m the Founder and Principal Travel Designer here at Spain Savvy. I have the ambitious and exciting vision of making Spain the premier travel destination for fellow Americans and the gateway to the rest of Europe. Throughout my 20 years of travel design experience, and just as long living in this adopted country of mine, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my own unique discoveries with travelers of all backgrounds. Families, honeymooners, and retirees have all entrusted me to craft their unique itineraries, and I’ve found that our local knowledge is what makes for a truly incomparable experience.

"I'm so glad I found Spain Savvy and decided to put them in charge of it all as I was really able to enjoy our trip and really absorb all that Spain had to offer. The fact that they are located in Spain is a huge plus. They really took care of us, and we felt that they genuinely wanted to make sure everything went well and that we had a great experience. Everything went smoothly. Well worth it. So don't hesitate."

"She took the time to understand what made us tick, and was UNBELIEVABLY responsive as we planned the trip. We were rusty travelers, and having her in our corner gave us tons of confidence... Our girls said the trip to Spain was a huge highlight to summer, and we are so grateful we made it. I’m not sure we could have pulled this trip off without Sarah and Spain Savvy"

Booking your travel with Spain Savvy will take the worry and stress out of planning. I am thinking of my next venture to that part of the region so that I can use Spain Savvy services again!"

"Sarah was fantastic to work with. We loved how Sarah asked great questions, listened to what we said, and seemed to understand immediately what was important to us. While we knew where we wanted to go, there was still a lot of knowledge that Sarah had that we didn’t. This is where Sarah excelled...we were even more impressed with her ability to translate our interests into a doable plan. When we had a question or needed help, Sarah was incredibly responsive and helpful. We never felt like we were alone. She’s a gem!"
