Classic Spain & Portugal: Madrid to Seville
If you’re craving a deep dive into Spanish and Portuguese culture on a fast-paced, fun-filled adventure, this nine-day journey is calling your name. Kick things off in Madrid before heading to Porto and winding your way down Portugal’s stunning coast. Picture yourself sipping Port wine in a historic cellar, feeling the raw emotion of a Fado performance, and getting swept up in the fiery passion of Flamenco. But that’s just the beginning — think breathtaking architecture, fascinating history, and mouthwatering cuisine at every turn. With a crew of like-minded travellers by your side, you’ll soak up every moment, heading home already plotting your next European escape.

Highlights
Discover the craft of Port wine making and savour its rich flavour, Immerse yourself in the soul-stirring sounds of Fado over a traditional Portuguese meal, Step inside the eerie yet fascinating Chapel of Bones—where human skulls and bones line the walls, Feel the passion and intensity of Flamenco as storytelling comes to life through dance

Accomodation
On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations. Note that most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights. If you do not already have one in your room, please ask your CEO to organize one for you with reception.

Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
