Trip Informations
Indulge in the colour and culture of Spain and Portugal on this 15-day adventure. Start in Barcelona, uncovering the city’s many highlights before making your way along Spain’s beautiful eastern coastline. Immerse yourself in Tarragona’s Roman history, sip on locally made wine in the Catalonia region and look out over the Mediterranean Sea from Peniscola Castle. Then pass into Portugal, where even more unforgettable moments await. Journey into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley, pause for a port tasting in Porto and wander around the cobbled streets of Lisbon. With a local leading the way, this trip will be sure to stick with you.

Learn about the history and artistry of the unique Fallas festival of Valencia by meeting a professional artist in their workshop to find out how they construct these intricately detailed and often enormous statues.

Savour a Spanish favourite at a Madrid insititution – cinnamon and sugar-dusted churros with velvety chocolate sauce from a churreria that has over a century of expertise.
verified
Feast on Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, snacks and local wines with a delicious tapas welcome dinner in Madrid, a port tasting in Porto, a bacalhau dinner in Coimbra and the unmissable pasteis de nata from the best spot in Lisbon – yum!

Spend a day discovering the history of Tomar – a 12th century town of relaxed streets, public gardens and the Castelo de Tomar, a Templar castle just waiting for the curious to explore its ramparts and cloisters.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
We recommend packing light and smart for this trip as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations and hotels, which can include going up and down multiple flights of stairs and across cobblestones.
verified
Summer temperatures can be extreme in this region (over 40C/104F). It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
verified
Portugal, particularly its cities, are very hilly and stairs are commonplace. You will have to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines, so packing light is recommended. The cobblestone streets become very slippery when wet. Some people may find Portugal's topography challenging.
verified
This trip doesn't spend much time in Barcelona or Lisbon, so we recommend extending your trip to enjoy these cities to their fullest. Please speak to your booking agent about adding additional nights of accommodation to your booking.
