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.

Flew from Lisbon to Seville on Ryan Air. Smooth trip & inexpensive also. Tony’s advice is clear & very helpful. Thank Tony!!!!!

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.)
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal5 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.

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)...
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal8 ай бұрын
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.
@diogorodrigues7478 ай бұрын
@@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.

Excellent video! My only doubt is the following: Can we take a high speed train from Madrid to Vigo and in Vigo change to Celta train that goes to Porto? That way there's only two connections. First connection would be in Vigo, leaving the Spanish high speed train to the Portuguese slow train. And second connection in Porto, to another Portuguese train going south to Lisbon.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugalАй бұрын
Hi, the only direct train from Madrid to Vigo is an Alvia train, the last stretch of the trip is not done on a high-speed train line. But you could do as you suggest, indeed, if you plan to visit Vigo and Porto.
