Sevilla, Algarve and Alentejo: A Foodie's Journey Through Iberia

Spain

Portugal

11 Days

Sevilla -> Algarve -> Alentejo -> Lisbon

This is Iberia through its farms, cellars, and kitchens. The journey begins in Sevilla with jamon country close at hand, continues along the Algarve's oyster beds and grills, and settles into Alentejo's vineyards before closing in a Michelin starred Lisbon dining room. Built for travelers who plan their trips around the table.

Day 1

Arrival in Sevilla

Settle into Sevilla with an easy first evening, a walk through the Santa Cruz quarter, and a dinner of classic Andalusian tapas that sets the tone for the days ahead.

Day 2

A City of Orange Trees and Flamenco

A morning walking tour through the Alcazar and Sevilla's cathedral, followed by an afternoon at leisure among the city's tiled courtyards and plazas. The evening is reserved for an intimate flamenco performance and dinner in a centuries old tavern.

Day 3

Into Jamon Country

Travel into the hills of the Sierra de Aracena, home to some of Spain's finest jamon iberico. A visit to a family run farm traces the full process, from the free roaming pigs grazing on acorns to the curing cellars where the hams age for years, closing with a tasting alongside a countryside lunch.

Day 4

West to the Algarve

Travel west into Portugal, arriving on the Algarve coast by afternoon. The evening is left unhurried, a first walk along the water and a seafood dinner overlooking the coastline.

Day 5

Life on the Ria Formosa

A morning oyster farm experience on the Ria Formosa, wading through the tidal flats to learn how the lagoon's oysters are cultivated, closing with a tasting straight from the water. The afternoon is left open for the beach.

Day 6

Fire and Fish

A hands on BBQ fish workshop with a local chef, learning the Algarve's grilling traditions using the day's catch, cataplana, and coastal herbs, followed by a long lunch built entirely around the morning's work.

Day 7

Horses and the Cork Forest

Arrive in Alentejo by early afternoon for a horseback ride through cork groves and olive estates, an easy way to take in the montado landscape before the wine focused days ahead. The evening closes with a countryside dinner built around black pork and regional bread.

Day 8

Winemaker for a Day

A full day at a family run Alentejo estate, blending a private cuvee alongside the winemaker before a farm to table lunch built around the property's own bread, olive oil, and produce.

Day 9

Cork Forests and the Roman City

A morning cork forest visit with a local guide, tracing the montado ecosystem and centuries old harvesting traditions, followed by an afternoon walking tour through Evora's UNESCO listed old town and Roman temple.
