6-Day The Charms of Portugal & North West Spain Tour from Lisbon to Madrid
Overview
The ancient civilizations of Europe left behind a wealth of wonders.
The monks of Porto created delicious drinks for religious ceremonies, the Romans shaped entire mountains in their pursuit of gold, and the 16th-century kings used their riches to build ostentatious plazas and palaces.
On this journey, you leave behind the modern world and venture to the edge of ancient Europe to discover the tastes, traditions, and treasures of the past.
You wander through the cobbled lanes of Portugal’s old towns. You learn about the influential universities of Coimbra and Salamanca. You explore the cathedral that marks the end of the world-famous pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago. And you experience some of the greatest achievements of the Roman Empire.
It’s the perfect trip for someone who loves ancient history, delicious seafood, and stunning natural landscapes.
