Globus Iberian Discovery & Morocco(ZW)
13 days from Madrid to Madrid
Variety is the spice of life—and of every great vacation. In addition to the flavorful ports, sherries, and sangrias
Spain and Portugal are famous for, this tour of the Iberian Peninsula adds the tantalizing taste of
Morocco to your rich itinerary. Following the scent of fresh mint, ginger, and turmeric through the narrow streets of Tangier—and the scenic winding roads to the dramatic views of Cap Spartel—adds just the right kick to your tasty tour of Spain and Portugal. Beyond Portugal’s lively
Lisbon, the pilgrimage site of Fátima, and the cork farms of Azaria, we pop open the fun in Spain with visits to artsy
Madrid, ancient
Seville, storied Granada, medieval Toledo, and the famous Costa del Sol where you’ll have a full day at leisure for your choice of sunbathing, boutique browsing, people watching, or all of the above.
