Spain conjures images of rocky plains and whitewashed villages, rugged castles looming from distant hills, the windmills that taunted Don Quixote, bullrings, the fiery flamenco, and the thrum of the guitar. Portugal brings to mind bold explorers, colorful ceramics, and close ties to the sea. You’ll find all this and more as you sweep from Spain’s vibrant modern capital to the Mediterranean and on to Portugal’s northern landscape, following a route traced first by the Romans and Visigoths, and later by the Moors. Then, venture off the tourist map to experience the everyday life of Spain’s back roads. Plus, enjoy extensions in Spain’s Bilbao and Portugal’s island of Madeira—all at Grand Circle’s unbeatable value.
