The Best of Iberia

24-day independent rail trip across 11 Spanish and Portuguese cities

Railbookers runs this 24-day, 23-night independent rail package across Spain and Portugal, visiting 11 cities: Barcelona, Malaga, Granada, Seville, Lisbon, Porto, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela, Leon, Bilbao, and Madrid. The operator describes it as a train adventure that traverses the two countries, taking in Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and Moorish historic sites along the way, alongside the cuisine of both countries. As an independent rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own sightseeing in each city while Railbookers arranges the train travel and stays between stops. Priced from $4,749 per person, about $198 a day, this is one of Railbookers' longest packages by both duration and number of cities. It suits travelers who want a long, wide-ranging rail trip across the Iberian Peninsula and are comfortable planning their own days at each of the 11 stops.
