A Taste of Spain & Portugal

Sunday 14th March 2027 - Thursday 28th March 2027

12 Days

From £1,479

Enjoy the flavours, traditions and everyday rhythms of Spain and Portugal, with March bringing milder days and fewer crowds, perfect for relaxing in pavement cafés, strolling along sunlit harbours and exploring atmospheric old quarters. In Vigo, browse the local market for fresh seafood paired with crisp Albariño wine, before two days in Cádiz allow unhurried discovery. Wander tree-lined streets and oceanfront promenades, savour local Jerez sherry with authentic tapas, experience an evening of flamenco, and join a tour to enchanting Seville. Lisbon tempts with iconic tram rides, soulful Fado and flaky pastéis de nata where they were first created, while Porto offers boat trips on the Douro and tastings of its celebrated Port wine.
