PORTUGAL
Europe can't imagine itself elsewhere than with its direct contact with the Mediterranean ocean near by. It often forgets about Portugal because this is the last land at the end of the Atlantic Ocean hidden behind the so called silver granite wall of Spain. Once crossed on the other side the surprise then awaits you !
For your freedom this trip includes Bus from France & between the main cities + hotel and breakfast. All the other expenses are under your choice.
Porto, the mysterious town with it's large metal bridges that cross rivers and places, el Douro and Lisbon, the white and pink town against a straw ocean...
This trip will offer you the opportunity to discover Nazare, a small fishing village tacked between Porto and Lisbon. Such a rich area is this Atlantic coast and with so many places to see. On the way back we will visit the cute and famous town of Salamanca.
