From Madrid to Porto
From Madrid to Porto
11 May to 14 May
Madrid is a dynamic and exciting capital filled with grandiose Habsburg architecture, cultural treasures and enough quirky little bars to spend a lifetime grazing on tapas. The city has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the arts; the Prado houses some of the world's most important paintings, while the more contemporary-focused Reina Sofia is home to Picasso's nightmarish masterpiece, 'Guernica'. The city brims with innovative restaurants and lively nightspots, but there are plenty of quieter corners too, such as the lovely Retiro park, where Madrileños come to unwind at the weekend.

There are a number of port producers that offer tours and tastings, and we can highly recommend Graham’s.
The ship
Tauck's ms Andorinha has been specifically designed for cruising Portugal's Douro River and offers spacious suites, a choice of restaurants and comfortable public areas.
What we love
Rich woods and plush fabrics give this ship a luxurious feel, influenced by elements of Portuguese culture. The alternative restaurant with outside seating is an idyllic place for a relaxed lunch as you cruise to your next call and the cuisine served in the Main Dining Room, Compass Rose is excellent.
inclusions
Tailor-make your trip
In the heart of the city the excellent InterContinental Porto - Palacio das Cardosas overlooks the Avenida dos Aliados and is a short walk from Bolhão Market, Ribeira District and the Clérigos Church.
For a taste of wild Portugal, set forth to Peneda Geres National Park.
