Portugal & Spain: Culture, Cuisine & Connection
10 Nights | Lisbon • Porto • Madrid
September 16-26, 2026
“Portugal is a gentle country, where time lingers a little longer, the light feels softer, and every corner whispers history and warmth.”
— José Saramago, Nobel Prize–winning author
Wake to church bells drifting over Lisbon’s sunlit hills. Wander azulejo-lined streets, pausing at a neighborhood café for a still-warm pastel de nata. Travel north to Porto, where riverfront walks and Douro wine cellars set an easy, soulful rhythm. By journey’s end, feel Madrid’s vibrant pulse—strolling grand boulevards, lingering over masterpieces at the Prado, and letting the night unfold through tapas bars and intimate flamenco.
This journey weaves seaside calm, riverside tradition, and dynamic city life into a culturally rich, soul-stirring escape.
