For your fill of sumptuous culinary treasures, exquisite natural beauty, centuries of fascinating history and some of the finest wines in Europe, a combined journey spanning Spain and Portugal will have you falling more in love with this part of the world at every turn.
From Spain’s sun-soaked Mediterranean beaches to the rugged Pyrenees mountains, the changing landscapes are magical. Cities like Barcelona, Madrid and Seville invite you to explore lively streets lined with architectural wonders like Gaudí’s Sagrada Família and the ornate Moorish designs of the Alhambra Palace. And as the sun sets and festivities spill out onto cobbled streets, don’t miss a rousing flamenco performance.
The coastal charm of Portugal allows you to catch your breath, as you soak up the country’s deep history. In Lisbon, modern living blends seamlessly with centuries-old traditions. The Douro Valley is sprinkled with historic towns and rustic villages, and Algarve’s dramatic cliffs and golden beaches are perfect for a few days of soaking up the sun and enjoying water sports.
When it comes to cuisine, both countries have no shortage of tantalising flavours and culinary delights to discover. In Spain, tapas culture thrives, with fresh seafood, patatas bravas and jamón ibérico ensuring you won’t go hungry. There’s also an array of world-class wines to choose from the La Rioja and Duero Valley wine regions. Of course, your time in Portugal will be marked by many pasteis de nata, but you’ll also be treated to the freshest seafood and excellent wines here too.
Whether you are exploring the galleries and museums of Spain or hiking through Portugal’s picturesque landscapes, these neighbouring countries offer you an abundance of experiences and fond memories.
