“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 to a café for a still-warm pastel de nata. By afternoon, feel Madrid’s vibrant pulse—strolling grand boulevards, lingering over masterpieces at the Prado, and letting the night unfold through tapas bars and soulful flamenco. This journey weaves seaside serenity with city energy and centuries of culture into a truly soul-stirring escape.
