Iberian Adventure Tour
June 13-21, 2022
Please note that all non-essential travelers are required to show proof of vaccination to enter Spain.
Join Sra. Burak and Sr. Scalici on a once in a lifetime tour of the Iberian Peninsula. We will start in Spain's capital, exploring Madrid's Palacio Real and touring Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid. We will navigate the walled cities of Toledo and Ávila before visiting Segovia with its famous Roman aqueduct and the Alcázar that inspired Cinderella's castle at Walt Disney World (check out the video below!). Our next stop will be Salamanca to tour one of the world's oldest universities before continuing on to Portugal. We will stop in the medieval city of Braga and spend some time in Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal, before arriving in Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our final destination will be Lisbon to traverse the hills of Portugal's capital and experience the Portuguese culture, but not before a quick visit to Coimbra, Portugal's largest university town, and Fátima, Portugal's main pilgrimage site. Throughout the trip, we will practice our Spanish in authentic settings while buying picnic lunches in local markets, snacking in cafés, strolling though parks, and completing city scavenger hunts. We will learn some Portuguese and put our culinary skills to the test during a cooking lesson in Lisbon. To view the complete itinerary and sign up, visit www.explorica.com/burak-2393. The total cost includes round trip airfare, all ground transportation, site-seeing tours and site visits, breakfast and dinner daily, and a full-time, multilingual tour guide. Please direct any questions to Sra. Burak at [email protected].
