The journey
Two countries.
Five beautiful stays.
An unforgettable 13-day journey.
Join me for 13 days through Seville, the Algarve, Lisbon, the Douro Valley and Porto.
Experience the character of each place — Seville’s tiled courtyards and Flamenco nights, the Algarve’s wild coastline, Lisbon’s colourful streets, the vineyards of the Douro and the energy of Porto.
The journey
The experiences that make this trip extraordinary
See the landscapes, meet the culture and experience each destination in ways that bring it vividly to life.
Seville
Flamenco, tapas and Andalusian nights
Wander through tiled palaces and orange-scented courtyards by day. Then learn a few Flamenco steps before an evening of live music, tapas and unmistakable Seville atmosphere.
The Algarve
Spectacular coastlines and a little adventure
Cruise by private boat beneath dramatic golden cliffs and into hidden sea caves. Venture through the Monchique Mountains by jeep, then return to three nights overlooking the Atlantic.
Lisbon
Trams, Fado and sunset sailing
Explore Lisbon’s colourful streets aboard a private vintage tram. Experience the magic of Fado over dinner, then sail along the Tagus as the city glows at sunset.
The Douro
Our beautiful treat stay
Spend two nights on a wine estate surrounded by terraced vineyards. Taste the region’s wines, cruise the river and try your hand at Portuguese cooking.
Porto
The perfect finale
Discover colourful streets, sample delicious local flavours and taste Port at the source. Then finish the adventure with a wonderful farewell dinner together.
Is this tour for you?
Come on your own.
Or bring a friend.
For women who want to genuinely experience Spain and Portugal – their cities, landscapes, culture and everyday life – with the arrangements taken care of.
You’ll travel with a small group, with me alongside you throughout, and a thoughtful mix of planned experiences and free time.
The pace
Expect city walking, cobbled streets, hills and steps, particularly in Lisbon, Sintra and Porto. You’ll also board boats and touring vehicles, with some longer road journeys between destinations.
This is an exploring holiday rather than a beach-only break. If you are unsure whether the pace will suit you, contact Judy before booking.

What will the weather be like, and what should I pack?
We’re travelling in April, so pack for spring rather than summer. Seville’s historical April averages are around 23°C by day and 11°C at night, while northern Portugal is generally cooler. Bring comfortable walking shoes with grip, a light waterproof jacket, a warmer layer for evenings and boat trips, sun protection and a few outfits for dinners. These are seasonal guidelines rather than a forecast, so check conditions closer to departure.
