Want to truly get to know Spain & Portugal? On this 19-day trip we'll immerse ourselves in everything Iberian, from uncovering Moorish architecture in Córdoba & Granada to exploring charming palaces at Sintra, feasting on fresh seafood in Lisbon and stumbling across UNESCO World Heritage sites around seemingly every corner.
