The suitcases are out, the passports are tucked in a safe spot, and we’re ready to go. We are heading off on a month-long spring journey through Spain, Portugal, and France!
We’ll be traveling by train, bus, and rental car. Our itinerary includes one night in Madrid, 4 nights in Cáceres, Spain; 4 nights in Evora, Portugal; 3 nights in Tavira, Portugal; 4 nights in Cadez, Spain; 4 nights in Seville, Spain; 5 nights in Malaga, Spain; and 6 nights in Strasbourg, France.
We’re returning to a few favorite cities, but we’ve also left plenty of time for cities and sights we’ve never seen before. Here’s what we’re excited about:
-
Traveling at a Slow Pace: Having 30-plus days allows us to actually breathe, sip our wine a little longer, and wander without a frantic itinerary.
-
The Spring Bloom: There is nothing quite like April and May in Southern Europe—the weather is warming up, and the crowds haven’t quite peaked yet.
-
The Best of Both Worlds: Revisiting favorite cities feels like visiting an old friend, while the new stops keep the sense of adventure alive.
We’ll be sharing photos and stories as we go. For now, we’re just focusing on making sure everything fits in the carry-on.
Next stop: The Airport!
