In sun-drenched Spain and Portugal, life is lived to the fullest. Wild celebrations for local fiestas, adrenaline-inducing bullfights and heart-rending flamenco performances capture the souls of even the most seasoned travelers. And we haven't even talked about the food yet. Spanish and Portuguese cuisine is flavored by the richness of its bountiful coastline and fertile countryside, and the world's top food critics are paying attention. In fact, Spain now has some of the most acclaimed chefs and innovative restaurants in the world. Here, you’ll explore some of its incredible cities on guided walking tours, marvel at its spectacular architecture (including the stunning Sagrada Família and Park Güell), wander ancient plazas, and plenty more.

Portugal still retains the time-honored traditions of village life, yet the former seafaring kingdom is full of surprises. Laid-back Lisbon proudly combines its fascinating heritage with striking modernism and liberal thinking. Though known as Portugal's second city, romantic Porto holds its own against much larger global cities. The dream-like place is a must-visit for wine aficionados who can sip award-winning port in riverside wine caves. Albufeira, one of Europe's favorite destinations, glistens with lush golf courses, dazzling beach resorts, and freshly caught seafood.
