Seems putting together a nice combination there Bill from NYC.
This trip is to my favorite European cities. In late September starting with Lisbon(5Days) then fly to Barcelona (7Days) and end in Madrid(6Days). So yes I have a nice combination.
Jamom. I checked your recommendations. You are a real travel explorer. But I not ready to use a car yet for my travels. I know it will be in my future travels, get a car to visit the small towns and countryside of Spain and of course Portugal too. It will be the only way for me to say, I seen Spain, I seen Portugal.
