Spain & Portugal Real Food Adventure

Barcelona → Lisbon 15 days Up to 12

About this trip

This 15-day trip takes you through Northern Spain and Portugal with food and drink as the through-line, not an afterthought. Expect tapas bars, wine cellars, cooking classes and market visits stitched between the cities and towns the region is known for.

It's a hands-on way to travel — you'll cook alongside locals, walk through farms before eating what's grown there, and taste your way from Spanish jamon to Portuguese custard tarts. The pace is about lingering over meals rather than ticking off sights.

Group and fully guided, rated easy, so the effort goes into eating and drinking well rather than logistics.

What you'll do

  • Cook traditional dishes in hands-on classes
  • Explore ancient wine cellars and tasting rooms
  • Wander a working farm before a home-cooked meal
  • Browse local food markets with your guide
  • Hop between taperias and wine bars in food-famous towns
Good to know
  • Heavy on meat and seafood — vegetarians and vegans should check the itinerary closely before booking
  • You'll carry your own luggage between train stations and hotels, sometimes up stairs and over cobblestones, so pack light
  • Summer temperatures can hit 40C — worth factoring in if you're sensitive to heat
