Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free to start exploring lively Madrid. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and travel companions. (D)

Visit fortified Avila with its intact medieval city walls, then stop in Salamanca. Be sure to spend some time wandering around Salamanca's Plaza Mayor, considered the most beautiful square in Spain. Travel through the valley of the Serra da Estrela on your way to Coimbra in Portugal. Today's Distance: 329 mi/ 530 km (B/D)

Enjoy an orientation tour of Coimbra, strategically situated on a hill overlooking the Mondego River. Continue to Fatima to visit the Sanctuary, a catholic pilgrimage site where the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children- Francisco, Jacinth, and Lucia-on May 13, 1917. On to Obidos, a fortified city still flanked by towers and bastions overlooking the countryside dotted with windmills. Overnight in Lisbon. Today's Distance: 177 mi/ 285 km (B)

Henry the Navigator made Lisbon the 15th-century "Mistress of the Seas." You'll see his monument, the Belem Tower, the Moorish Citadel, the impressive Black Horse Square, and other highlights on your guided city tour. Spend the afternoon at leisure in the Alfama's tile-decorated streets or discover the Portuguese Riviera by joining our optional excursion. (B)

Seville is the city of passionate flamenco and one of Spain's most vibrant cities. Enjoy an included sightseeing tour with all the main highlights, including the iconic Plaza de Espana, located in the centre of the Parque de Maria Luisa. The park was designed in a "Moorish paradisical style," with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and exhedras; lush plantings of palms, orange trees, Mediterranean pines, and stylised flower beds. Numerous buildings were constructed in the park to provide spaces for the Ibero-American exhibition World Fair of 1929. (B)

Your holiday ends with breakfast this morning. (B)

Tour location was great. We visited the main highlights of Spain and Portugal. Our Guide Roxana was helpful and the Local Guides were very informative.
Great snapshot of Spain and Portugal 1 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2017
I really enjoyed this tour- well organised itinerary and helpful tour guide. There were some long travel days but they were usually broken up with visits to various medieval towns. Hotels were fairly comfortable, some were a bit old but nearly all were in good locations. The group was a mix of couples, families and single travellers. Overall a very ...read more enjoyable tour.
Sunny Spain - and don't forget Portugal 2 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2017
Have travelled before with Cosmos and booked through Global Journeys. Global Journeys (Hannah) made booking easy, and Cosmos are always good value for money. Saw a lot in the time, but didn't feel rushed. The tour director was both knowledgeable and helpful, and the other travellers were varied in both ages and nationalities, but all mixed together ...read more to help make an unforgettable holiday. Would I book with Global Journeys and Cosmos again - definitely.
Great locations and a wonderful experience 1 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2017
A very enjoyable trip. Great scenery and fabulous locations visited. A knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. Accommodation was basic but OK. Breakfasts were a good start to the day. Optional tours were good value especially Toledo which was a highlight.
Good experience & good tour guide 1 , VIC, Australia, Oct 2015
Good experience & good tour guide but due to the crowded places, was not as appealing as when less crowded. Previously been to to the area later in October, early November & found it more appealing as a lot less crowded so able to see more & spend more time at interesting places. This tour followed an exceptional tour guide so very hard to be as objective. ...read more Would recommend but preferably out of high tourist season.
Will definitely tour with cosmos again 1 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
We really enjoyed our tour of Spain and Portugal - it was just right to get a fabulous taste of these regions. Our tour guide Estefania was amazing - really fantastic, and the local guides that managed our optional excursions were also very good. The hotels were a very good standard and mostly situated in good locations. We really liked the flexibility ...read more on tour, we could leave the group and explore on our own when we liked, or opt in for the group excursions- best of both worlds. We would certainly recommend Cosmos tours for great value and will definitely tour with them again.
