The adventure
Some trips just make sense — and this is one of them. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are a perfect trio, and we’ve connected them into one epic 19-day adventure. Start in Madrid, soaking up Spanish culture and tapas before heading to Porto and winding your way down Portugal’s stunning coastline. Cross back into Spain to explore Seville’s flamenco-filled streets, then set sail across the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco, where ancient medinas, bustling souks, and striking desert landscapes await. Think vibrant coastlines, intricate Moorish architecture, spice-laden flavours, and a fusion of cultures that has been centuries in the making. From historical landmarks to hidden gems, this trip is the ultimate deep dive into one of the world’s most captivating corners.
