Want to escape to sun, sea, and sand? You’ll find all three on this Spain and Portugal route as you interrail your way across our pick of the finest cities in Iberia. With at least 2 nights in each destination, you’ll get to know each city well, whilst also getting time to squeeze in a few day trips elsewhere.
It may not be the capital city, but Barcelona sure is one of Spain’s main cultural hubs and is definitely not to be missed! Home to amazing art, surreal architecture and vibrant Catalan culture, you won’t be disappointed to know that the nightlife and food here are just as incredible.
Highlights
On Day 4: Train to Madrid (3.5 hours)
Madrid is certainly one of the ‘in’ cities at the moment and it’s easy to understand why as it offers a real insight into Spanish life with its attractive tourist spots buzzing both day and night, brimming with shops, delicious tapas bars and clubs to enjoy.
Highlights
On Day 6: Train to Seville (2 hours)
Seville is so unmistakably Spanish, with fierce heat in the middle of the day that rubs off onto its fiery character, its Flamenco dances and its lively conversation. The café and tapas culture here is as good as it gets and the backdrop of the old town exudes charm and elegance.
Highlights
On Day 8: Bus to Faro (4 hours)
From the city of Seville to the soft sand and sunsoaked coast of the Algarve, soak up the rays, explore the old towns, try surfing on those famous west coast rolling waves, or even go dolphin-spotting!
Highlights
On Day 10: Train to Lisbon (4 hours)
Lisbon doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not; it’s picturesque and modest whilst maintaining an enthralling urban landscape filled with exhilarating sights, sounds and smells. Head to Lisbon for history, hilly heights, hedonism, and a whole lot more.
Highlights
On Day 12: Train to Porto (3 hours)
Porto exudes charm of every sort. From its parties in the piazzas to the zigzag streets of the UNESCO Ribeira district, its namesake fortified wine and its warm, friendly atmosphere. It’s a beautiful and beguiling city of spires, old bridges and romance that rivals any big city in Europe.
