Spain, Portugal, and Morocco Adventure
15 days, Madrid to Marrakech
Please note that the ferry between Spain and Morocco is currently not operating and will be replaced with a flight in the itinerary until further notice. See the Important Notes section of the tour details for the logistical changes necessary of days 8 and 9 of the tour.
Quite a few civilizations have left their imprint on Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, but perhaps none so permeating as the Moors. Get your feet wet in Moorish culture in the Iberian peninsula, home of Spain and Portugal. Surround yourself in the beautiful architecture of a traditional “pousada” with an overnight in Évora, before exploring Spain’s fiery Andalucian capital of Seville. Cool it all down in Morocco, within the city of Chefchaouen’s striking blue walls. Don’t miss out on a tour that’s as drenched with flavours, colours, and history as the three countries that comprise it.
