Spain & Portugal Discovery with Tapas Dinner, Wine Tasting & Douro River Cruise

Bask in the Spanish sun and peek into Portuguese history on this sweeping small-group tour across the Iberian Peninsula. Roll through the picturesque countryside on your way to the vineyards of Pinhao, where you’ll taste wine straight from the cellar door. Board an enthralling Douro River cruise in Porto and fall for the allure of Salamanca’s sun-soaked charms. Taste the piquant flavours of the region as you savour tantalising tapas in Madrid and a magnificent Portuguese feast to the sound of traditional music at one of Lisbon’s oldest fado venues.

Discover architectural triumphs, from the Romanesque cathedral of Se Velha in Coimbra to the jaw-dropping grandeur of Alhambra Palace. Travel comfortably in your private coach and learn the local stories with the help of your expert English-speaking guide as you visit fairytale villages in the Portuguese countryside, such as Tomar, the former seat of the Knights Templar. Watch the colossal Atlantic waves crashing in at surfing hotspot Nazare and mix with the spirited locals as you immerse yourself in a cultural kaleidoscope. Lap up Madrid’s Gothic influences, stand in awe of the sprawling Mezquita in Cordoba and crane your neck to the soaring peaks of Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece – La Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona.
