Spain and Douro River Voyage: Culture, Cuisine and Wine - 11 Days | 10 Nights
The romantic Douro River winds through northern Portugal, creating a landscape of sculpted hills and terraced vineyards. Begin your journey exploring Spain’s capital, Madrid — a vibrant, welcoming city known for its rich culture and historic neighborhoods and streets. Next, visit Salamanca with its historic university, one of the world’s oldest. Then, embark on a 7-night cruise and sail from picturesque, medieval Barca d’Alva to Porto, a delightful mosaic of scarlet and gold architecture. Pass by storybook villages and steeply sloping countryside while gliding through one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions. Taste locally produced olives, almonds, breads and cheeses, and of course, port–the famous sweet, fortified wine the area is known for. Along the way, you’ll learn about the Alto Douro’s winemaking history, witness beautiful Portuguese tile artwork and explore charming villages with stories to share. These experiences and more await on this sun-kissed sojourn! Augment your travels with the Lisbon Post-Tour Extension.
