Hi everyone!
My girlfriend and I would love some feedback on our draft itinerary for our Spain + Portugal trip. We haven’t planned everything yet within each city, but we’d appreciate any suggestions or thoughts so far! We prioritize food/drinks, scenery, beaches, nightlife, and hiking. We’re fast-paced walkers and tend to cover a lot—like doing Rome in 3 days with 40K steps each! We also enjoy architecture and may visit 1-2 museums, but they’re not our priority.
Here’s our current itinerary for our June trip:
Itinerary:
- Barcelona: 3 days
• Transport: Flight to Mallorca (1 hour)
- Mallorca: 3 days
• Transport: Direct flight to Porto (2-3 hours)
- Porto: 3 days
• Transport: Flight to Madeira (2 hours)
- Madeira: 3 days
• Transport: Flight to Lisbon (1.5 hours)
- Lisbon: 4 days
• Transport: Departure flight to NYC
Total: 16 days
We’re also debating swapping in San Sebastián, Seville, or the Algarve but aren’t 100% sure yet. We decided to skip Madrid since we’re from a big city and wanted to avoid an entirely urban itinerary.
Thanks in advance for any input!
