We saw so much - landscape from flat to snow mountains, Atlantic to Mediterranean, history from aquaducts to Gaudi, experienced best ever Portuguese egg tart, port wine, and dinner at an olive farm. We stayed at great hotels and ate and ate! Our group, driver and director made the trip even better.
