Highlights Adventure in Spain and Portugal

This morning, your driver will take you to the nearby city of Segovia, where you will hop on a hot air balloon and marvel at the Roman aqueduct and remarkable cathedral. When you land, you will have lunch and champagne provided before some free time to explore these incredible sites up-close. Your private driver will then transfer you back to Madrid’s airport for a quick flight across the border to Lisbon, where you will be greeted by another driver and transferred to your accommodation.

Today, you will have the opportunity to ride in a GoCar, which is a three-wheeled vehicle. Your GoCar will have a GPS route programmed into it. As this will be your only day to explore Lisbon, a GoCar will allow you to visit much more of the city than a traditional walking tour would. You can hop out at scenic viewpoints, museums, and iconic sites as you please. This car will be yours for the day, so you will have the opportunity to pace the day exactly as you see fit.

This morning, your driver will pick you up and escort you to the nearby town of Sintra. Upon your arrival in the city, you will have the opportunity to wander through the city's Old Town. Afterward, you will get in a Jeep with your guide and meander through Sintra Natural Park, which is home to castles and hunting grounds of the Portuguese Royalty. You will then venture to the coastline of Cape Roca, continental Europe’s westernmost point, before stopping at the beach in Cascais. Here, you can bask in the sunshine and rolling waves before returning to Lisbon this afternoon for your last night in Portugal.

Today, you will return to Spain by flying from Lisbon to Seville. After checking in, freshening up, and finding lunch, your guide will meet you for a bike tour of Seville. Once again, wheels will be your preferred method of transportation. A bike allows you to see more of the city than if you were on foot. Your ride will take you by the Murillo Gardens, Santa Cruz neighborhood, Alcazar, and Giralda before ending in the Old Town. Here, you will be able to experience a traditional flamenco show.

You will visit one of Spain’s most iconic palaces today: the Moorish influenced Alhambra. After checking out of your accommodation in Seville, your driver will convey you to Granada’s Alhambra. Here, your expert guide will be waiting for you. Your guide will lead you on a historical tour of this 13th-century architectural masterpiece before allowing you to spend the early afternoon strolling the town on your own. You will then be transferred to Granada’s airport for a flight to Barcelona. This evening, you will have an opportunity to witness a soccer match among a raucous crowd at FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium.

After breakfast, you will spend your day visiting as many of the city's iconic sites as possible. You will start with a drive that passes many of Barcelona’s top attractions, including Park Guell, Las Ramblas, and both Gaudi houses. During your tour, you can hop out of the car at some of Barcelona’s most beautifully designed structures, such as Pedrera and the Sagrada Familia, to view the stunning interiors of these buildings. This evening will be at your leisure, and your hotel can provide recommendations for some of the best tapas restaurants in the area.

On your final full day in Europe, you will trade the city for the coast, and your private driver will transfer you to Costa Brava. Upon your arrival, you will meet your guides and board kayaks. Your guide will lead you to the majestic coves and sea caves as you paddle. You will be transported back to Barcelona when you return to shore. After a strenuous morning, you can spend the afternoon relaxing or visiting anywhere that you were unable to the previous day.

This morning, you can indulge in a leisurely breakfast as you reflect on your tour of Spain and Portugal. After a relaxing morning, your private transfer will transfer you to the airport so that you can connect with your departing flight at Barcelona’s international airport.
