9-Nights An Iberian Peninsula Exploration: Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon

This journey begins in Spain: the land of bullfighters and flamenco dancers, fiestas and siestas, and crispy churros con chocolate. Start off in Barcelona, once home to such influential artists as Picasso, Miró, and Dalí. No stop in this vibrant city is complete without a visit to Gaudí’s architecturally intriguing Casa Batlló, Park Güell, and the Sagrada Familia. In Madrid, take in the sights and sounds of the Plaza Mayor or relax with a row around the pond in El Retiro. Last – but certainly not least – is Lisbon, Portugal’s rejuvenating capital. Wander the cobblestoned streets of timeworn Alfama, indulge in a crispy pastry from a local confeitaria, or take a ride on one of the city’s old-fashioned yellow trams.
