It’s finally done! I’ve worked on this trip for over a year. As many of you know, my entire family is from Portugal and Spain. I wanted to create a Portugal and Spain trip like no other, where we’ll experience the real Iberian Peninsula. I personally designed this itinerary where we will go to the most amazing places in Portugal, Spain, and even the micro-country of Andorra, seeing not only the must-see places, but also the off-the-beaten-path, “real Portugal and Spain.”

**HIGHLIGHTS**

* Drive across the Iberian Peninsula: from the northeast to the southwest of Spain, and from the southeast to the northwest of Portugal, taking in **everything** along the way.
* See not just two but three countries: Spain, Portugal, and Andorra!
* Spend two days in [Andorra](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2GKlp4GBtWs), *The Heart of the Pyrenees.* This European microstate (just 468 sq km, with a population smaller than Santa Monica!) is the only country located entirely in the gorgeous Pyrenees. It’s an adventure paradise with beautiful hikes, waterfalls, lakes, outdoor adventure parks, and home to the world’s longest [alpine toboggan](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nN89v-oHKno). Fun fact: Andorra is also the only country in the world with two princes as heads of state, and its sole official language is Catalán. What a unique country!
* Eat paella in L’Albufera, Valencia, where paella was invented.
* Visit Valencia Cathedral to see what’s claimed to be the actual [Holy Grail](https://tinyurl.com/mrvap6u3).
* Explore the iconic Andalucían cities: Granada, Córdoba, and Sevilla.
* Tour the breathtaking [Alhambra](https://tinyurl.com/5evkavvr) in Granada.
* Walk the [Caminito del Rey](https://tinyurl.com/2mr6ssdy), once considered the most dangerous hike in the world, now restored for safety (but still thrilling!).
* Visit the enchanting [Mezquita](https://tinyurl.com/26jrpmya) in Córdoba.
* Watch an authentic Flamenco show in Seville, the birthplace of Flamenco.
* Cross into Portugal by *zipline*! Yup, you read that right. [Check it out!](https://youtu.be/8pEnnS76UNU?si=7OIryajuMwWWxYj7&t=7)
* Take a hot-air balloon ride over Portugal’s stunning Algarve region.
* See the famous [Benagil Cave](https://tinyurl.com/yc45tf7x). You’ve seen it in photos, now you’ll see it in person.
* Kayak at beautiful [Ponta da Piedade](https://tinyurl.com/mrxfedu6).
* Go horseback riding on the beach!
* Explore Lisbon and Porto, Portugal’s two most important cities.
* See [Palacio da Pena](https://tinyurl.com/3xbpjsws), one of the most beautiful castles in the world.
* Spend a night in an actual medieval castle, [Castelo de Óbidos](https://tinyurl.com/yz27hmtv).
* Visit Nazaré, home of the largest wave ever surfed (86 feet at Praia do Norte!).
* Discover Serra da Estrela, the “Alps of Portugal”, including Torre, the highest mountain on continental Portugal.
* Visit Coimbra, one of the world’s oldest university towns (the [University of Coimbra](https://tinyurl.com/ymnzn2vz) was founded in 1290!).
* Explore the Alentejo region, often compared to Tuscany for its beauty.
* Stroll through Aveiro, the “Venice of Portugal,” and ride a traditional [moliceiro](https://tinyurl.com/4bff3wdf) boat (Portugal’s gondola).
* And more! Seriously, I had to stop writing, otherwise this highlights list would never end. 😂
