About the trip

This nine-night exploring trip by G Adventures follows a route from Lisbon, pushing west to Cabo da Roca's craggy cliffs before returning inland to the serene lawns and elaborate gardens around the Monserrate Palace in Sintra. Amid hamlets where time trickles by, the trails here pair fig and olive trees with distant glimpses of ancient castles. Bordering Spain, you tread the gentle hills of Serra da Estrela National Park, eventually making your way to the Douro Valley. The slopes here are mapped with terraced vineyards, where a glass of regional wine and a spread of local food bring a quiet celebration to the day's walking. The final stop is Porto, a city with narrow alleys and Port wine cellars, where a choice of a walking tour or a river cruise offers fresh eyes on the historic riverside.

Throughout, your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer and local guides support the pace, reflecting on the castles, countryside and cuisine rather than the clock. Breakfasts and some lunches and dinners are included, offering chances to gather and swap tales, plus plenty of free time to wander. The most exacting effort lies in the footwear, along gentle but real slopes, with the chance to feel land and history underfoot.
