+ Valencia Instead of Barcelona. Beyond the oranges, the cobblestone streets are filled with authentic charm. The birthplace of Paella offers a mix of palm-lined beaches, futuristic parks, and Gothic cathedrals.

+ Porto Instead of Lisbon. This gastronomic mecca overlooks the winding Douro River. Stroll through markets, art galleries, and historic Port houses. Nearby, picturesque terraced vineyards produce award-winning wine.
