An exciting, more than two-week tour for 18 to 30-somethings to some of the Iberian Peninsula’s and Morocco’s most spectacular spots!
When you’re visiting Portugal and Spain on the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco is a quick trip away — so says G Adventures, which has added the North African destination gem to this more-than two-week trip that takes in two continents. Launching in Spain from Barcelona — Spain’s history-filled second-largest city that lies on the Mediterranean coast — you head to Portugal to see the Algarve coast and the vibrant capital of Lisbon, then cross to Morocco in North Africa, where you travel to some of its most spectacular destinations. Here’s an overview of what to expect with this tour:

A few guidelines on trip descriptions: All descriptions/itineraries are sourced from trip/tour operator, and Outpost assumes no liability. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated, are often “starting from” the one listed, and don’t necessarily reflect final/total cost (that is, taxes, in-country or extra fees might be added). And, prices indicated here do NOT include airfare, unless it says so. Date changes are always possible and sometimes even inescapable. So, always get in touch with an operator directly; sometimes they’ll let you know about a sale or special so a price may actually be less than listed here.
