Crossing the Border - Portugal and Spain

Most nights will be spent in beautiful, charming hotels. Along the way, we'll encounter the magnificent Marvão Castle, the medieval village of Castelo de Vide, the fortified city of Elvas (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and charming fortified hamlets, each whispering tales of past wars with the Moors and Spain. The border with Spain lies just across the Guadiana River! This unique journey allows you to cycle through two countries in a single week! The endearing people of Alentejo, initially shy but warm-hearted, will welcome you. You'll savor the delights of Mediterranean cuisine alongside the wonders of cork, marble, olive oil, and other local crafts, enriching your travel experience. And the wine... well, book your trip and discover its magic for yourself!
