Hola, my name is Iván Ricoy
I am a Travel Agent for Spain trips based in Andalusia, the Southern part of the country.
I was born and raised in Spain though I have British and Dutch ancestry too. Also, my path to becoming a Travel Agent for Spain trips was rather unconventional.
I say this because I started a career as a Telecom Engineer, which lasted for 10 years. During this decade I realised that my place in the world was as a Spain Travel Specialist.
How I became a Travel Agent for Spain vacations
As an Engineer I lived in different parts of Spain, France, Germany and the U.K. I then learned how rewarding it is to experience and to learn about other places and other cultures. While living abroad I also loved being an ambassador of Spain.
This truly motivated me to start a professional transition from Engineer to Spain travel agent. This transition finished in 2014. It was then when I founded my own inbound specialist travel company in Spain.
Ever since, I have been awarded 8 certificates of excellence by Tripadvisor. Also I have got several mentions in the international press and a spot in Wendy Perrin’s WOW list of Trusted Travel Experts, which is one of the most prestigious lists of travel specialists in the world!
I called the company Genuine Andalusia in honor of my homeland and I’d like you to see us as your Trusted Travel Specialist for your Spain trips. Also, I’d like to invite you to read about the creative process behind our name and our logo. This is because it reflects how your Spain Travel Agency was born as well as its values.
