Why Portugal & Spain?
Often unfairly overlooked by the crowds, Portugal and Northern Spain are real natural and cultural gems! Extremely well-preserved natural parks, traditions, pristine beaches, granite mountains, castles and forts, lakes, wild horses, vineyards, rivers, UNESCO heritage sites and small fishermen’s villages form the décor for a wide range of activities, such as hiking, biking, visits to museums and impressive fortified towns, surfing, SUP, wine tasting, workshops, kayaking and stargazing to name a few.
