An afternoon flight to Boston, diner at the airport then board the plane for the over night flight to Lisbon. After a couple airline meals, two movies, and a short nap we arrive in Portugal at seven in the morning.
Our first day trip to Sintra starts at the train station, in line with hundreds of people waiting to buy their tickets.
Porto may be the most romantic city in Portugal. The river Douro, endless ancient churches, lovely green spaces, elegant eateries, quirky landmarks, and the inescapable seduction of Port wine make it easy to love this town.
GUGGENHEIN Museum Bilbao, Spain
OK I’ll admit it, this museum has been on my bucket list since before it was completed and is one of the main reasons we’ve wanted to explore northern Spain for so many years.
The last stop on this journey is Bordeaux, France. We added this stop to the trip after having problems with our Airbnb in Salamanca, Spain.
