Tours

Four days in Lisbon with nothing before ten: tiled streets, a viewpoint at lunch and a river that does not hurry. From £745 per person, confirmed by a manager.

Four days of river light in Porto and the Douro valley: a boat, a terrace lunch and a bed worth staying in. From £865 per person, confirmed by a manager.

Four days in Seville on Spanish time: orange-tree patios, a late start and the afternoon rest done properly. From £790 per person, confirmed by a manager.

Four days of Granada from above: hillside terraces, a view of the old palace at dusk and a quiet bed at the foot of the hill. From £835 per person, confirmed by a manager.

Three days beside a deep blue harbour: honey-coloured walls, a ferry across the water and nothing planned before noon. From £620 per person, confirmed by a manager.

Four days on a small, green island: a fishing village, a salt pan at sunset and a pool that nobody else seems to know about. From £880 per person, confirmed by a manager.
