Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Porto

    You'll arrive in Porto and start wandering at your own pace through the narrow, colorful streets that lead down toward the Douro River. Stop at a local café to grab a galão and pastel de nata, then take time to soak in the historic feel of the old town. It's a good way to get your bearings and start feeling the rhythm of the city.

    This trip encapsulated Portugal’s wild side beautifully. Twisting roads through mossy forests, tranquil crater lakes, and warm spring baths—balanced beautifully with quaint villages and friendly locals. Every day held a new surprise.

    Pure magic. Madeira’s lush trails, volcanic sights, and vibrant towns transitioned beautifully into the quiet, sandy solitude of Porto Santo. Loved the ferry crossings, the coastal views, and learning Columbus’ connection to the island.
