Glorious beaches, flamenco dancing, mouthwatering tapas and refreshing wines are just the tip of the iceberg in Spain and Portugal. Look a little closer and you'll see a different side to this crowd-pleasing destination. Step back in time as we explore the Moorish architecture in Catalonia, and explore the Duoro Valley of Portugal via beautiful rail journeys.
