This 16 day OAT trip started with 3 nights in Lisbon and continued into Spain. We stayed in posadas in Portugal and paradores in Spain ending with 3 nights in Toledo in a hotel with a side trip to Madrid and the Prado. Before leaving Portugal we visited a cork factory, cork being their leading export. In Spain we visited a large olive oil factory and farm and also a fighting bull raising ranch but didn't see a bull fight. A trip to the massive cathedral in Seville was a highlight as was a trip into Madrid to visit the Prado. The many overnights in smaller towns and a home visit with a family gave us a perspective of Spain's history and culture you don't get by seeing only the big cities and we enjoyed it immensely. The OAT guide, Manuel Alarcón knows Spain like a book since he has lived there all his life. He was attentive, efficient and always available to answer questions and address glitches along the way.
