A highlight of APT's Spain and Portugal tours, this sun-soaked region is rich with heritage, history, and warmth.
Iberian Peninsula Flavours
From Spain's sizzling paella to Portugal's pastéis de nata, food is woven into every Spain and Portugal holiday package. Graze on tapas at a traditional flamenco show in a Granada cave, savour a vineyard lunch at Quinta da Pacheca overlooking the Douro, and enjoy locally inspired dining that tells the story of each region you visit.
Cruising the Douro River
Board the MS Estrela, APT's custom-built ship, for a seven-night cruise along one of Europe's most scenic waterways. Glide past steep vineyard terraces, pretty riverside villages, and historic port wine estates. On small group Spain and Portugal tours travellers rate highly, the Douro reveals Portugal's soul at an unhurried, scenic pace.
