At Earthbound Expeditions, we know how hard it is to choose between Spain and Portugal, so we decided to weave their vibrant Latin roots into one mouth watering tapestry. Join Gary and Ginger Minugh in the century’s old debate over which of these regions produces the most delectable olive oil, greatest art, and most exquisite wine. On this journey you’ll meander through colorful markets, white washed villages, world-class museums, Moorish palaces and lush vineyards as you experience first hand the culinary heritage of España and Portugal!
