Excellent advice! Did the Vigo to Porto train ride. Scenic & arrived in only a few hours. Spent two days in Porto then took the fast CP train to Lisbon. Good train & inexpensive. Flew from Lisbon to Seville on Ryan Air. Smooth trip & inexpensive also. Tony’s advice is clear & very helpful. Thank Tony!!!!!

Nice run-through. You can cut down long bus trips by including Extremadura to a trip, seeing Cáceres‎ and Mérida, which are quite worth while destinations. Cáceres‎ is a wonderful medieval hill town and Mérida is like mini Rome, full of ancient sights. Once you're done with Mérida, you can take a bus to the Portuguese town of Evora, which offers quite a lot as well. After that you have tons of options to hop over to Lisboa.

Absolutely yes, any trip between Spain and Portugal can become a wonderful adventure due to the myriad interesting places on the way. Here on the video we were thinking more on those wanting to go from 🇪🇸 to 🇵🇹 as quick and direct as possible.

Hola Tony and Cecilia, we just returned from Madrid and followed your recommendations for hotel (Amor de Dios was great!), tapas tour (couldn’t squeeze in El Rey Anciano though😢), and your recommended museums (we added local tour guide for Prado/Reina Sofia/Palacio Real which we highly recommend). Your suggestions were all awesome and we thank you!!

Hi Jesus, glad to hear you had such a positive experience!

Best border crossing from Portugal to Spain must be the ferry from Caminha to A Pasaxe across the river Minho - just hope it doesn't get stuck on a mudbank! Loving the channel - keep it up.

Very informative video! Thank you Tony! We are planning a bus trip from Seville to Lisbon in April. On some travel forums on the internet, there are reports of luggage theft when stored under the bus storage compartment. If that is true, how often is this a problem and is it specific to a bus company?

Thank you! Never heard of luggage theft, but we haven't been on that particular route recently. Never put any valuables in the bags you put in the bus storage compartment.

thank you…your video was very informative. We have just returned from our first trip to the Algarve and would like to return next year but would also like to visit Seville and/or the Mala regions. You mention that there are many flights from Lisbon or Porto to Spain but are there flights from Faro to any points in southern Spain? thank you

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

Ай бұрын

Now you know the answer.

Tony, please recommend a rental car company that allows their rentals to go from Spain to Portugal? Enterprise and Hertz do not. Perhaps it’s because we will be driving with a ‘special permit’ applied for through CAA in Canada, on our Canadian drivers licences? ✌☀🇨🇦 I was also told we couldn’t drive from Bilbao to Porto and turn our rental in there. Ideally, we’d like to be flying to Lyon from Porto. (Then Hamburg from Lyon.)

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

2 ай бұрын

Hi, very few car rental companies will allow that, and the price you will have to pay will be absurd (basically, you need to pay for the cost of sending the car back to the original point from one country to another). That's why it's hard to find a company that does it. We wouldn't have one to recommend.

Thank you for the video Tony. Do you recommend any car rental companies in Spain ? I'll be in Madrid/ Algarve for 2 weeks.

Hi Patri, we always play it safe and, with a few local exceptions, go for the big names: Avis, Budget, Centauro, Europcar, Hertz, Sixt.

Thank you for another excellent video! You mentioned that it is considered a domestic flight and there is no immigration control when traveling between the two countries, is that true for American visitors or only citizens of EU countries? Thank you.

Hi David, it's a domestic flight for everyone. All the best!

One thing that caught us off guard was the time change between Spain and Portugal. We did a day trip last year from Badajos and arrived at our point of interest an hour before it opened. 🤦‍♂

Hey, I’m going to drive from Barcelona to Lisbon in April and then back via the south of Portugal and Spain. Do you have any recommendations for a nice route to take between Barcelona and Lisbon with a 1 night stop over?

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

5 ай бұрын

We don't have that content yet. 1 day for Barcelona to Lisbon doesn't allow for much. You'll have to go through Madrid.

It's really too bad the Vigo to Porto train isn't about 30 minutes later or you could make the connection from Madrid.

Is there a direct bus from Seville to Lisbon in November? I have checked Flixbus and can't see any.

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

Ай бұрын

Check Alsa.

Tony can you recommend a car rental company? We want to pick-up a car in Granada and eventually drop it off in Lisbon. All the rental companies I have looked at all want to charge a return fee back to Granada. I hope you can help.

Hi, we usually check at Booking www.booking.com/cars/index.html?aid=359492 and go for the big players (Avis, Budget, Centauro, Europcar, Hertz or Sixt). All companies will charge you as they have to repatriate the car from another country.

That’s a shame, I travelled on that in 2019. Had a really good nights Travel. Met a crowd of American students in the bar and myself and my wife talked to them for several hours together with other passengers from Belgium and other countries. A great way to meet people before you go to bed. And the food, although basic was good. Other countries are bringing back their sleeper trains. Let’s hope Spain and Portugal follow this trend.

01:18 This is actually not true. A high speed line from Évora to Elvas is being built right now and will start operating in the begining of 2025, so you could say there will be high spped conexions between Portugal and Spain in the near future, maybe an Alfa Pendular or Alvia conexion between Lisbon and Badajoz (who knows)...

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal

At the time stamp you mention we state: "if you watch our video on the size of the high-speed network in Spain, you will realise that the current network only comes a little bit closer to Portugal in the north of the country". We stand by that statement, which reflects the current situation of the high-speed network in Spain. There is absolutely no budget or timeframe for a high-speed line to the Portuguese border you mention in the short or mid term. Developments to the other side of the border, interesting as they might be, are completely irrelevant to the point you are criticizing. Chances are there will be a high-speed train link between Porto and Galicia before the end of the decade. The chances of that happening between Madrid and Lisbon are next to ZERO.

@diogorodrigues747

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I'll say it again: the high speed rail between Évora and Elvas is well under construction and will open in the next year, and I can prove this because I recently went to see the construction of that line and some parts of it are already near finishing. Also it's almost certain that, after being open, it will be used as a passenger train connexion - even Renfe has stated some weeks ago that is interested in a connexion between Évora and Madrid in 2025/26. If you have any doubts about what I'm saying, just Google it. Period.
