Travel between Lisbon & Madrid.

Portugal
Portugal is truly one of the best countries to live in the world, with very old cities, excellent wines and the "Language of the Angels". Porto in the North and Lisbon are gems that should be on everyone's "to-do list" just like the famous egg tarts should be on everyone's "must-eat list". The Algarve in the South is fairly wild and has lots of great beaches. Oh, most people do speak excellent English here as well...

Lisbon is the great and friendly capital of Portugal. The old yellow trams are pretty, but don't forget the many bars, the yummy-yummy egg tarts (@ Porte de Belém) and local music. It is a little bit hilly, but a true highlight.

Madrid, capital of Spain and home of the royal family. The city center with great architecture is amazingly small, with nice places to enjoy local food and wines and very walkable.
