Portugal & Spain

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Portugal and Spain together form one of Europe's most rewarding travel combinations, spanning the entire Iberian Peninsula. Portugal draws visitors with its historic cities of Lisbon and Porto, dramatic Atlantic coastline, world-class surf, and the sun-soaked beaches of the Algarve. Spain complements with its own rich diversity — from the architecture of Barcelona and the culture of Madrid to the flamenco heartland of Andalucía and the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands. The two countries share a love of food, wine, and vibrant street life, making Iberia a perennial favourite for both independent explorers and group travellers.

Self-Launched Highlights of Portugal & Spain: Lisbon to Bilbao in 20 Days

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 20-day Lisbon-to-Bilbao route, rebuilt for independent travellers using hostels and budget guesthouses, public buses, trains and Renfe/CP rail passes, and self-bookable tours for the Alhambra, Mezquita, flamenco and port wine cellars. You cover the same eight-plus stops — Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto, Madrid, Granada, Córdoba, Seville, Barcelona, Logroño, San Sebastián and Bilbao — at roughly a third of the guided group price. Costs are approximate 2026 backpacker/budget rates in GBP and assume dorm or simple private rooms at peak-ish season; booking Alhambra and Sagrada Família tickets 2–3 months ahead is essential.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Portugal & Spain yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
