For travelers with a bit more time — and a deep interest in Southern Europe’s rich history, wine, food, and landscapes — few experiences rival the elegance of a combined private tour of Portugal and Spain.
While each country offers its own magic, they share deep cultural roots, incredible gastronomy, and stunning regional diversity. Best of all? With Portugal Magik’s custom private tours, it’s easy and comfortable to explore both countries in one beautifully flowing itinerary, with door-to-door service, expert guides, and no rush.
Here’s how to combine Portugal and Spain in one unforgettable journey — and how our private approach makes the experience effortless and exclusive.
1. Start in Lisbon, End in Seville (or Reverse)
Why It Works:
This is one of our most popular extended routes. Guests begin in Lisbon, explore Sintra and the Alentejo wine country, then cross into southern Spain for Andalusia’s white villages, Seville, and even Granada.
Typical Route:
-
Lisbon → Sintra → Évora → Monsaraz
-
Cross the border via the scenic Alentejo → Seville → Ronda → Granada → Malaga
Our Touch:
-
We handle border logistics, timing, and language transitions
-
Private vehicles and driver-guides across both countries
-
Luxury accommodations and curated experiences, like Flamenco nights or vineyard lunches
2. The Northern Route: Porto to Santiago de Compostela
Why It Works:
Perfect for guests interested in wine, history, and culture. Start in Porto, wind your way through the Douro Valley, cross into Galicia, and end in Santiago de Compostela, Spain’s famed pilgrimage city.
Typical Route:
-
Porto → Douro Valley → Vila Real → Bragança → Lugo → Santiago de Compostela
Our Touch:
-
Exclusive visits to hidden wineries, religious sites, and family-run farms
-
Option to continue into Asturias or Basque Country, depending on time
-
Excellent for cooler seasons, or guests avoiding the heat of southern Spain
3. Portugal & Spain in 12 to 15 Days: A Grand Cultural Journey
Why It Works:
For travelers with 2 weeks, we craft a loop through Lisbon, Porto, Seville, and Madrid — covering major highlights and hidden gems.
Typical Route:
-
Lisbon → Óbidos → Porto → Douro → Salamanca → Ávila → Madrid → Toledo → Seville
Our Touch:
-
This type of tour is only possible smoothly with full driver-guided support
-
We arrange the logistics between countries — including customs, luggage, and rest stops
-
High-end accommodations with porters, early check-ins, and preferred rooms
4. Island Pairings: Madeira or Azores + Spanish Islands
Why It Works:
For guests interested in island culture and natural beauty, we offer tailored packages that pair Madeira or São Miguel with Mallorca or Tenerife — with flights coordinated and luxury accommodations in both.
Our Touch:
-
Smooth transfers and all internal flights arranged
-
Private guided days in each destination — volcanic trails, spa resorts, boat days
-
Perfect for honeymoons, special occasions, or those who want quiet luxury
5. Cross-Border Day Tours from Portugal
If you’re based in Portugal for most of your stay but want a taste of Spain, we also offer private day or overnight tours across the border.
Examples:
-
From the Algarve to Seville (2.5–3 hours)
-
From Évora to Merida (Roman ruins in Spain)
-
From northern Portugal to Galicia for seafood and coastal beauty
