About the trip

This sixteen-night tour by G Adventures threads through key cities and sites in France, Spain and Portugal. Paris mark the start, where evening strolls pass illuminated landmarks and daytime walks navigate intricate historic quarters. Lyon invites a close encounter with Basilica Notre Dame of Fourvière's façade, and remains of Roman engineering such as the Pont du Gard aqueduct lie nearby.

Moving on to Spain, Barcelona presents Gaudí's distinctive constructions in daylight, while Seville offers the weight of traditional flamenco resounding in atmospheric venues. Portugal rounds off the route with Porto’s port wine cellars and Lisbon’s layered history identified in its neighbourhoods and architectural styles.

Local guides introduce the layout and essentials of each place. The tour features a mix of urban walking and public transport, requiring comfortable footwear and readiness for occasional stairs and luggage handling. Meals incorporate at least one farm-to-table lunch and a local dinner, providing a sense of regional tastes along the way.
