Heritage Site Tours in Spain and Portugal

In Portugal, as in Spain, the Reconquista left an enormous patrimony in Monasteries and fortifications built in the heyday of the Knights Templar. Explore the chain of fortress towns strung out along the border, testament to the centuries of warring with the Spanish neighbours, loose yourself in the Douro Valley, the world’s oldest denominated wine region, or visit the lovely, historic towns of Braga and Guimaraes where the nation was founded in medieval times.

We specialise in the areas of Iberia away from the mass tourist destinations, avoiding the crowds. All our tours pass through areas of particular cultural interest and we try to combine cultural elements with the opportunity to enjoy wonderful scenery, local wines and gastronomic delicacies and, of course, a warm welcome – so it’s certainly not all about ‘old-stones’!
Take an independent tour through the Spanish and Portuguese Heritage Sites and discover a different side of the Iberian Peninsula.
