Beginning on the Mediterranean edge of Catalonia, this 14-day Spain and Portugal tour brings a distinctive coastal start to a rich Iberian journey. From Barcelona’s creative energy and sunlit streets, the route opens into the historic depth of Spain before continuing south to Andalusia, where Moorish palaces, atmospheric old quarters, flamenco traditions, and warm local character define the experience.
Across the border, Portugal adds a new rhythm with Lisbon’s hillside neighbourhoods, Atlantic-facing charm, and Porto’s riverside beauty. Blending iconic architecture, guided cultural discovery, regional flavours, comfortable travel, and time to explore independently, this itinerary is ideal for travellers looking to experience the Iberian Peninsula with both classic highlights and a memorable Mediterranean beginning.
