Flamenco, Gaudí's Barcelona, running of the bulls, and tapas trails through Madrid and Seville.
Overview
About this package
Twelve days crossing the entire Iberian Peninsula — from Madrid's Prado masterpieces and Barcelona's Gaudí landmarks to Andalusia's Moorish Alhambra, and across the border into Lisbon's tiled hillsides and Porto's port wine cellars. A comprehensive introduction to two of Europe's most distinct, most delicious, and most underrated cultures, connected by high-speed rail. Add Córdoba's striped-arched Mezquita, a Prado Museum morning in Madrid, and Barcelona's mosaic-tiled Park Güell, and twelve days trace the entire peninsula's layered, delicious history.
