Only place I have been in either country is Barcelona. 2 couples, 1st 2 weeks of October. Likely 14-16 days total including travel. Likes include good food, wine, golf, beaches, historic sites/museums. Original thought was to fly in to Lisbon and fly out out of Barcelona or Madrid.
Portugal cities we're initially interested include Lisbon, Porto, Sintra and the Algarve region (have a Hilton Grand Vacation Club option in Vilamoura my daughter stayed at and she said it was spectacular). May want to go there first to unwind for 3 days or so, then back up to Lisbon, then Porto etc before flying to Spain (no overnight trains or long drives)
Spain definitely Madrid, Barcelona, Seville. Would love to see a soccer game if schedule works out.
Trying to figure out what's realistic to tackle. Suggestions from my fellow FBGs? Great cities, things to do, restaurants, etc? What's can't miss, what should we pass on?
