Pack your bags for an unforgettable 26-day adventure through Spain, Portugal, and Morocco—where every day is a feast for the senses. Start in Madrid, soaking up Spanish culture before heading west to Portugal’s stunning coastline. Wander charming streets, sip Port wine in a traditional cellar, and take in the soulful sounds of Fado. Then, hop back to Spain for a fiery Flamenco performance before crossing the Strait of Gibraltar into Morocco, where a whole new world awaits. Snap photos in Chefchaouen’s mesmerizing blue-washed alleys, get lost (but not really) in Féz’s labyrinth-like medina, and stand in awe of Casablanca’s grand architecture. Venture into the Sahara for sandboarding, stargazing, and fresh-baked bread straight from the desert sand. End your journey on Morocco’s breezy coast, where souks, surf, and sunset views wrap up this perfect blend of culture, history, and adventure.

Overall I really enjoyed this trip. Our guides were great and it was wonderful to travel with like minded people. The small group sizes made bonding easy and made for a very enjoyable trip. The activities were good and allowed for us to see most of what the cities had to offer.

This trip taught me so much about not only other cultures in this world and the history behind them, but about myself and the person that I can shape myself to be in this world. The people, experiences, and places that this trip offers is truly life changing in the best way possible. I had the most incredible experience and will be going on another trip as soon as I can.

This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
