day 1Join trip in Madrid
Arrive in Madrid, the Capital of Spain home to elegant boulevards, manicured parks, cultural museums and fantastic markets. For those arriving on time, our tour leader plans to meet you in the hotel reception at 7pm for the welcome meeting and for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for dinner. There are no activities planned today, so you are free to arrive in Madrid at any time. If you would like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive at Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez Airport (Mad) which is around 20 minutes' drive from the hotel. Should you miss the meeting, your leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, perhaps you might choose to explore the city, wandering the back streets in search of tucked away tapas bars. There vast 19th century El Retiro Park is good place for a leisurely walk, past rose gardens and statues to the boating lake.

Customer Reviews
Here's a review you could post: The Explore Walking and Wine in Spain & Portugal holiday was an excellent trip and one of the most varied tours I've ever experienced. The itinerary combined beautiful walks, fascinating towns and cities, wonderful scenery, and plenty of opportunities to experience local food and wine. What really made the holiday special were all the extra experiences included by our tour leader. The tapas crawl was a particular highlight, giving us the chance to sample authentic local dishes in places we would never have found on our own. The sangria tasting was great fun and added another dimension to understanding the local culture and traditions. Our leader was also fantastic at helping us discover excellent restaurants offering superb food at very reasonable prices, which made the trip even better value. There was a perfect balance between organised activities and free time to explore independently. The walks were enjoyable and varied, the wine experiences were authentic rather than touristy, and every day brought something different. I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone who enjoys combining gentle walking, great food and wine, cultural experiences, and the chance to discover both Spain and Portugal in depth.
Great upbeat leader always willing to help and solve problems. Goes above and beyond what is required. Good English skills. Very pleasant and likable. Great trip. A fun person!!
