About Totally Spain
 |
Totally Spain is a reputable and established Spain based inbound travel company that specialises exclusively in quality, tailor-made travel throughout Spain for individual travellers and small groups. Totally Spain’s founders are Ken Baldwin and Belen Encinas. |
Ken Baldwin
Ken, who hails from Ireland, has worked in the travel industry for more than 20 years - a career that has allowed him to travel far and wide. Much of that time he has worked in senior management positions working for respected tour companies including Insight International Tours Australia, TNT Vacations Boston and for the Abbey Travel Group both in Britain and in the United States. Passionate about travel and tourism, he has travelled all over Spain many times and happily moved there in 1998 to establish Totally Spain. A Spanish speaker, Ken spent over 5 years living in the Basque Country before moving to the beautiful Cantabrian coast near Santander where he has made his home. Ken is the proud father of two lovely twin girls whom he adores.
Belen Encinas
Belen, a mother of two, was born in the Basque Country and has travelled extensively throughout Europe, the United States and parts of Asia. A graduate of Deusto University Bilbao, Belen spent more than 7 years working overseas in Britain and the United States. She is especially proud of her work as assistant to the CEO of Accion International the world’s leading micro-lending organisation that fights poverty in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa through micro-finance. Belen loves her native Spain and likes nothing better than to introduce others to its many charms.
Olaia Elorriaga
Olaia comes from Basauri in the Basque Country and completed her studies in tourism in Cantabria where she now happily resides. A big fan of the great outdoors, she seizes every opportunity she can to enjoy nature and practice her favourite sports which run the gamut. Olaia is one of our senior reservations agents. She speaks Spanish, Basque and English. She has travelled extensively in Spain and has a talent for preparing imaginative itineraries and for securing good value for all her clients.
Olaia´s favourite city in Spain is Barcelona ( she can´t get enough of the great shopping there ) although when it comes to her favourite gastronomy nothing beats the cuisine in northern Spain.
Ana Duran
Ana, who comes from the Cantabrian capital of Santander, joined Totally Spain in 2006 after completing her studies in tourism. She speaks both English and French and has spent time working overseas in Ireland and also as a tour guide in the cabarceno National Park.
Ana is one of our specialist reservations agents and while she has travelled widely throughout Spain, for her there is no place compares to her home province of Cantabria.
