From Lisbon to Madrid through the heart of southern Spain — history, culture and landscapes at every turn.
This guided tour from Lisbon to Madrid takes you through some of the Iberian Peninsula's most storied cities and landscapes, connecting Portugal's capital with the medieval quarters of Caceres, the flamenco streets of Seville, the dramatic cliffs of Ronda, the Moorish splendour of Granada and the imperial grandeur of Toledo.
