Spain & Portugal

Welcome to the forum! Here’s how this works best: flip through a guide book or tourism website to see what stands out to you, make a rough outline of an itinerary, then post that here for feedback. Wide open inquiries aren’t as fruitful. So think about when you chose Spain and Portugal, what did you envision? Any places already on your list or special interests are helpful to include, as context (who is “we”, open to car rental or public transport only, etc.). Good luck!
Popular places will be very crowded, as will the seaside.

Hi and welcome! As valadelphia alludes to, this forum is not really a "plan your whole trip" service -- there's a reason that those services tend to cost money!

It's comprised of travel enthusiasts who are by and large happy to contribute their time and resources to answering questions, but tend to appreciate when posters come here having done at minimum some basic research and have more specific questions. You will get much better responses if you come back with questions like:

• "I am interested in X, Y, Z Catholic sites and A, B, C beaches -- which ones make sense to pair with each other?"
• Or "We are interested in beaches but are looking for one near a major city that has good transport to X, what would you recommend?" etc.

Good luck!

I understand. This is new to me. I am at the beginning stages of thoughts on a trip. I just wanted some initial insight on travel that time of year. No more replies required.

Welcome to the forum!
Just so you know, there is lots of basic get you started info available on the website:
