Spain Scouting Trip
for Moving to Spain’s Costa Blanca
*Starting at $325
So you’re dreaming of moving to Spain! You’ve heard of this special area on the Mediterranean called the Costa Blanca and you want to see if it is the best fit for you. A scouting trip is the way to go. This package includes The Venturer Custom Travel Planning Service.
Located in the region of Valencia, the Costa Blanca is a one-of-a-kind area. It encompasses gorgeous coastline and verdant mountains inland. Some of its most sought-out towns are the goldie-locks beach town of Denia, the white-washed village of Altea, and others such as Javea, Moraira, and more.
But don’t just take our word for it. Before making such a big move, it’s great to check out possibilities in person, get educated and connected, and enjoy a great trip at the same time.
I utilize curated resources, my own firsthand experience living in Denia for more than six years, and get to know you, to create a personalized trip that will enable you to discover if the Costa Blanca holds your new Spanish home abroad.
Can we help with scouting trips in other parts of Spain? Absolutely! Let us know what other parts of Spain you want to consider.

Additional Information
*Price can vary due to any of the following factors:
- Additional services are desired that are not within the scope of service.
Trip Start Date:
- If a Custom Travel Planning Service package or Scouting Trip Planning Service is hired within three months or less of the trip start date, a surcharge of 30% to 50% will be applied to the total service cost, depending on the amount of time available for planning the trip. It is preferred that my services are hired at least five to six months in advance.
- If a stand-alone booking is hired within 30 days or less of the trip start date, a flat-rate $25 rush fee will be applied.
The Magic of How it’s Done
Service Fees:
- I charge a fee for my planning services. One of the biggest reasons why is because I can then find the best customized options for you as my client, regardless of whether I am making a commission from the booking or not. This also provides you with my time and expertise spent on research, custom itinerary design, booking arrangements, and support that create a bespoke trip for you. It’s a great way to value your time, to value my time and experience, and to support a small business.
Process:
- I’ll send you a trip inquiry form to gather your desires for your next trip. Not sure of where you want to go? No problem! I can help provide some great ideas and options to consider based on the information you provide about your preferences and desires.
- From my Travel Consultant relationship with vendors, I check for ways to maximize your trip with any exclusive promotions and benefits that I can access.
- When you’ve decided on what you want me to book, I’ll provide a secure online credit card authorization form that ensures we have a record of the amount you’re authorizing me to charge your method of payment for the booking. Sometimes bookings may be paid up front and other times at the property, depending on the conditions.
- I’ll make sure to send timely reminders of any upcoming payments for bookings.
- Your bookings and details will be compiled into a convenient, free app called TripIt that you can download to your mobile phone to have everything handy in one place while you travel. Or if you prefer a PDF, that can be provided as well.
