From sun‑lit Mediterranean beaches to winding medieval streets, from grand palaces to dramatic Atlantic cliffs, the Iberian Peninsula is a land of contrasts. Our “Best of Iberia Peninsula” tour blends the very best Spain and Portugal have to offer: history, culture, nature, tastes, and people.
Highlights of the trip:
- Iconic Cities & Architectural Wonders
Wander through Lisbon and Porto, marvel at the Alhambra in Granada, explore Barcelona’s modernist temples, stroll through Córdoba’s Mezquita, and admire the cathedrals and palaces of Seville. - Spectacular Nature & Coastlines
Soak in the blue of the Mediterranean: sun, beaches, coastal paths. Then shift to the rugged, raw beauty of the Atlantic coast, the rolling vineyards of the Douro Valley, and the dramatic mountains like Sierra Nevada or the Douro‑Douro beaches in Portugal. - Rich Cultural Tapestry
A fusion of Moorish, Christian, Latin and maritime influences; flamenco in Andalusia, fado in Portugal; Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals, medieval castles. - Culinary Journeys
Taste it all: tapas and Iberian ham in Spain; fresh seafood and pastel de nata in Portugal; port wine, sherry, olive oils; food markets; local dining away from the crowds. - Authentic Local Encounters
Small towns, artisans, local traditions, hidden corners off the usual tourist trail. Enjoy relaxed evenings, local guides who share their stories, and experiences that linger.
