A new venture for Casas Cantabricas. Six delightful tours of Portugal's stunning north. Tours are independent, self-drive and clients stay in small charming hotels (of which Portugal has many, of the very highest standard). Three tours are cross-border taking in Spain and Portugal in one trip

Discover a different side of Portugal – Independent self-drive touring with Casas Cantabricas

Six brand new tours which 'tick all the boxes'; discover world-class wines in the Minho and Douro (the world's oldest wine region), explore World Heritage cities in Porto and Guimaraes, and recharge your batteries on the invigorating, windswept Atlantic Coast. Lose yourself in the dramatic scenery of the Minho, Douro and Lima valleys; sleepy, vineyard-lined and dotted with charming villages. Or get active in the boulder-strewn mountains of the Peneda-Geres National Park.

Three tours offer the chance to cross the border into Spain and explore two countries in one tour!

The gastronomy is delicious, the people friendly (poitively Anglophile!) and with many flights to Porto you can be there in no time. Yet it's the delightful small hotels and their exceedingly warm hospitality which have really made us fall in love with this little-known part of Iberia - we hope you will too!
